Hope you didn't mind me saving the GIF. Might help in a presentation at college.
prefer the deutz engine, you get to see inlet & exhaust & the whole thing is more 'watchable' (this one's too fast for us oldies)
yes a excellent screensaver mr sludge.....if anyone hasn't seen it/got it then get it now

(get the full version with the engine getting built & actually working)
YouTube - Deutz Marine Engine
Some nice animations. Check this one out, Napier Deltic 2-stroke diesel

This came with usually 9 or 18 cylinders
Nice animation. Has this engine ever been used?
Yeah in a few marine applications, and also in the old class 55 'Deltic' diesel locootives.
I see your animation and I raise you:
YouTube - Micro Camera Shows the Workings of a Combustion Engine
I'd always imagined this combustion to be an explosion filling the cylinder but to watch the film we only see a few small flames.
