    BEHIND THE BEAT

    Hear the machinery.

    Every 90° overall. Uneven spacing within each bank.

    This educational cutaway uses the approved Explainedinbitz engine graphics. The crankshaft drives the pistons, and the four camshafts turn at half its speed.

    Original drum hits follow the OUT exhaust-pressure release. Custom musical patterns change only the drum grid; engine firing timing and piston motion stay original. The RPM range is an educational demonstration range, not a certified redline.

    The sound is a designed drum rhythm, not a recording of a real engine. Gas colours, pipe glow and outlet flames make flow visible; real exhausts do not necessarily glow or flame with every stroke. Valve timing, crank details, dimensions and timing-drive layout are simplified educational illustrations.

    Drag to orbit, scroll or pinch to zoom. Use the arrow keys when the engine is focused. Slow motion changes playback speed without changing the displayed engine RPM.
