I’ve seen this before, and it’s a paragon of how to explain and demonstrate mechanical concepts.
This person needs to be hired by someone full time to produce this kind of page for all the things.
Thanks for reminding me it exists.***edit to add:
Omg I found archives of more! https://ciechanow.ski/archives/yeah, that website is a treasure trove of amazing interactive mechanical demos.
Sadly, 99% of today’s population doesn’t have even 1% of the attention span required to view, much less interact with and understand, this kind of presentation.
Respect to them for modeling and animating that, making it render real time in web for the demonstration, that’s sick
And the spring sliders are springy!
Omg the winding rotor moves as you spin the animation around!
Yea! That was amazing!
Truly incredible article
I have managed to lose track of time while reading about how we track time.

I love seeing this masterpiece of an article shared around. Really incredible stuff!
Did I miss the self winding mechanism? To me the most impressive mechanical watches are the self winders.
“Automatic winding”, about 90% of the way through
