Animated 911 engine - the x-ray version
I think this turned-out pretty cool... looks like x-ray vision!
 Makes a particularly stunning desktop if you set your border color to black as well. |

Cool.
Now change the spark back to blue, and add a toroidal swirlling flame-ball, for the powerstroke. Oh, and I want this on my desktop before you leave today.

I like the yellow rather than blue spark...

that is sweet
how about changing the throttle plate position and make the engine rev faster like a sine curve...an engine revving... also how about maybe a 1/2 real time speed or a real time speed to show how crazy internal combustion engines really are... different color for incoming...combusted...out going air oil sloshing around the case... yeah make it so the viewer can move a slider and change the revs... hahaha...after I congrats you I give you more work MJ |

Darryl,
You do absolutely terrific work! Thanks from all of us. But -- I hate to say this -- this version (and the other high-res version) have a glitch where, at the bottom of the power stroke on the left piston, the animation jumps forward and then resumes normal speed. Both of my computers display this behavior. It's like you left out a frame or two ... (if I correctly assume that this animation is the sequence of 20 frames). Does anyone else see this? |

Hey Brian, I don't see any problem with the version I'm currently hosting on my AOL account. I have no idea what's the problem, other than the crank counter-weight swings around at that point in the stroke, perhaps it's just an optical illusion?
I just so happen to have a 2D top view of a 917 engine in a book I own... I'll think about it! I was actually thinking about doing a radial Pratt & Whitney airplane engine first though! As far as varying the speed (on the fly no less!) .GIF files refresh is an operating system feature, you'll need to take that up with Microsoft or Apple! |

On my IE, on the Pelican thread, it works pretty slow & does have a stutter. If I save it & run it in IrFanView, it runs at hyperspeed. My Gif Animator runs it at a third speed, but witha stutter too.
Just FYI Still really cool. Ian

Yep, it's cool indeed. From having stared at it too long, though, I can pick a nit -- there are just a few misplaced pixels within the top cooling fins of the right cylinder and one just above the left one.
Either that or I need to clean my glasses...

Holy crap that's great work! Thanks for a great screen saver. I don't even want to know what you had to do to learn how to do this.
Again Thanks! Bernie P. |

Hey Drivers Ed, great eyesight, look again! A fresh build of both versions just to clear up some garbage pixels and make sure all 20 frames are indeed intact.
Thanks again for the feedback! |

Darryl, using Jasc Animation 3.0 (or whatever the current version is) allows you to set the delay of each frame. Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying. That's how I created the pause of the tach needle in my avatar. I just set the delay of certain frames to be longer than others.

Sure any .gif editor will allow a hard-coded value for each frame delay, what's being asked for is a user input variable frame delay.

Any way to put a tach on it, even if the speed can't be changed?
Also, blue for fuel; red for exhaust, yellow for spark?

Darryl, Definitely not an optical illusion. Running independently, it runs smoothly and at the same speed as your earlier versions. Set as the desktop background and it slows down significantly and displays hery-jerky motion (earlier versions run fine as background). Then, playing some more, it became apparent that when it was the background, the whole display was slower, like clicking thru the Control Panel and Windows Explorer windows. Strange effect, limited to the high-res versions. I'l just use the earlier versions on the desktop, but hate to lose the higher-res picture. Thanks AGAIN! |

I must be the only moron who can't get this thing to work. .
That's what I get for thinking computers were a passing phase in the late eighties. |
