hi,
just been scanning pistoheads and found this interactive demo of the new lotus omnivore engine.
http://www.pistonheads.com/lotus/omnivore/
Just like to know if there is any other interactive engines like this, with adjustable sliders.As i am very intrested in how engines work

lots of moving parts. Wonder how reliable it would be and what the maintenance schedules are like. Also i find it kinda ironic that a 2 stroke (an engine that has been used less and less due to emissions/fuel consumption) is their solution. hehehe

i always wanted to play around with something like this, but more advanced, almost to the point of engine blueprinting (i think that's the right term)...

being able to change cylinder size and combustion chamber shape and stuff would be really cool, but chances are software like that doesn't come cheap.

yeah there's a similar thread i started

Pretty sure it was tristancliffe who had some suggestions on what is basically engineering software in there. I'd kinda like something halfway between the above 4 stroke flash thing, and the engineering software hehe
