  this is really impressive. actual movements with live diagrams looks great. you can consider adding sound to take it to another level.

  I don't understand how the throttle and RPM can be modified independently. Surely the RPM depends on the throttle?

  "How it Works" -> "Idk" OP probably

    I see no declaration that this is a machine generated site, but the aesthetic is a dead giveaway. The language on the “how it works” page is unmistakably LLM output. As a total novice in engines this site had the potential to educate me, but did the author vet the data at all? If the author doesn’t bother telling me they checked any output on this, what assurance do I have anything is accurate on the site at all? If I knew an actual engineer put their focus on this tool I’d feel much better about trying to learn something from it. Short of that it’s just a pretty (but predictable) interface.

  3638 kW / 4878 hp is the most powerful engine I could build with this.

    How do you tell how much power it is making?

      On the dyno panel you see "pk" which is peak power. If you don't see the dyno panel on the right, you'll have to scroll down to see it.

        Found it now, thanks, I had to scroll down.<p>This is like a much cooler version of a thing I made a few years ago for simulating model oscillating engines: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;incoherency.co.uk&#x2F;oscillating-engine&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;incoherency.co.uk&#x2F;oscillating-engine&#x2F;</a>

  I was hoping for a two stroke mode as well!

  Am I missing something? Setting the throttle to 0% seems to do nothing?

    All the gauges on the top right except the RPMs move
