My god these are awesome and informative. Many +1's for your sir.
fixedsys
I just learned more in the last 10 seconds than in 4 years of college. They should put these in textbooks
mmikio
Watching these while listening to music is awesome!
baatar
First one. Subaru.

Why does the big sea gun thing crunch the shell when it's loaded into the barrel?
ListenHereYouLittleShit
if this doesn't make it to the front page, I weep for humanity!
SassySemen
Aircraft radial engine looks like a sexy dancing starfish
whydidyougooglethat
Awesome. Aircraft engine was extremely interesting
IShouldBeDoingEngineeringHomework
wow.....i am soooooo relevant right now
Shelkeknemron
Some of these where strangely satisfying
cheesegravy
Boxer* engine. Commonly used on Subaru's, and Porsches.
Dreadlockholmes
the radial engine is dancing
SpongeBobTrianglePants
Dumb question; how come on the key in lock cylinder one the top bars don't fall off once the bottom part is turned?
OGSugarfree
The Aircraft radial engine looks like a good time
firesail
How does one come up with stuff like this?
nk018
Lots of drugs.
MindRape
Pretty sure NOT drugs (excluding caffeine).... Kids, stay in school, say no to drugs!
WhatDidITellYouAboutMakingUpAnimals
Hate to be a nit picker but I believe its a boxer engine, which can be found in a Porsche Boxster. stil got my +1
leadfoot69
It's also found in Volkswagens, Subarus, and as of this year, Toyotas.
leadfoot69
and Chevy had one back in the 60's
BeaglesLoveBlueberries
That radial engine is a better dancer than I am.
RyanGooseling
just look at that mofo' jive!
mazerrackham
I feel like it's trying to seduce me.
tytanik
Fun Fact: they were originally designed as torpedo motors. The reed wear out was a non issue since they were supposed to blow up.
PoopinIsAwesome
As a pilot, the radial engine was slightly erotic. Then it just made me want to dance a little.
JaL3
As an engineer: Bojojojoinggg!

Little Big Planet here I come.

Artefact
The Aircraft radial engine makes me feel uncomfortable D:

Slower slut

Something is wrong with the over balanced wheel.
HerpNDerpington
glad someone else said something. all these wonderful engineering gifs and then in the middle of it all a crappy thing that (cont)
HerpNDerpington
craps on the face of the laws of physics
swiper31
That gun is a keltech pf9
kleelu
Have you ever shot one of those? Little fuckers are jumpy and they hate hollow points. Not a fan
swiper31
Yeah, my brother had one.. i hated it.
chansuke
Theyre cheap and tiny though.
kleelu
yeah but they also break very easily which is why Kel Tec has such excellent customer service
RottenCookies
God damn we're smart.
RottenCookies
I mean, we're also fucking stupid as hell, too. But yeah, we're pretty smart.
themadstork
TIL a "rotary engine" is made of spirograph
epidemicsts
Magical spinning doritos.
SafeNafe
Also known as the "wankle" engine
josephisalsoat
NSFW if you are an engineer.
MakrelinoVonSalmonel
Oh boy I think that Aircraft radial engine is NSFW even for non-engineer
rsminsmith
As an engineer: HHHNHNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG
celliz
your rotary engine is accually called Wankel Engine :)
PioniSensei
I just started my job as an engineer last monday! This is relevant to me!
intthemainvoid
As the aforementioned, I am indeed strangely aroused. May have spent 20 mins staring at the auto-reload. uuuugghhh
MaximumPhill
that, only the transmission
ImBlackAndiHateYourUpload
im fraking out my pants are so wet right now
Drmanhattan
Not true! I think one of my co workers made the handgun one, gonna go ask!
EverythingITouchHasAProbabilityToExplode
The aircraft radial engine (4th one) is kinda... mesmerising...
MrRgrs
But but... this IS my work... :(
josephisalsoat
I hope you are one of the few that enjoys work so much you are amazed you get paid.
Uberpastamancer
If this isn't safe for work as an engineer, then what is?
josephisalsoat
Just saying, those are some sexy motions going on.
scuba7jb
comment was a clever way of saying "these gifs are engineering porn" and porn is NSFW .........and now I've explained it, so it's not funny
MindRape
well, everyone was innocent/unexperienced-in-porn at one point
tomatoboy
*Boxer, not Boxter.
seaBR600RR
Thank you for this!!!! Now I don't need to make the correction. I thought to myself; "I hope some one else knows"
npub
It's called a boxer motor because the cylinders and connecting arms resemble movement of the gloves and arms of a boxer.
tomatoboy
Yup. In fact, I think Subaru put that in some of their commercials at one point.
Smokey86
I'm guessing all the Subaru fans are going to love this comment. I sure did.
Mrfluegel
99 outback sport!
derpwagon
LGT Wagon checking in.
gigel
Awwww yisss, just got my first: Impreza Diesel, awesome car it is!
AustralianHandstandChamp
I wish that any of mine were diesel =(
Smokey86
Diesel? I'm so jealous. We don't get the diesels in the U.S. I'd do horrible things for a diesel Outback or Forester.
gigel
I guess it's because they only came with manual transmission. You can always import one with a premium...
epidemicsts
They and the Porsche fans. And a couple of aircraft. Also, the Toyota 800 sports car.
epidemicsts
Also, old Volkswagens. And BMW and Ural motorbike fans. And... i'm really bored.
derpwagon
RUF as well!
DThr33
I feel like RUF should be counted under Porsche. Even if they were recognised as a separate manufacturer.
epidemicsts
Ok, I guess they count, even if the engines are highly tuned Porsches :P
Demz
Omission of Chevy Corvair made me sadface. :(
epidemicsts
I'm an australian, I forgot because we didn't get them :P Sexy car though
