Oh look! It’s sprouted a second piston!

Dance of the cranky connecting rods.

Excellent work! I first heard the description about (I think) 30 years
ago, and this is the first illustration of it I've seen.

Well done!

And I’ve got a smile from the compliments. Thanks for the positive feedback!

I had the idea yesterday and thought ChatGPT might possibly help. Within a few milliseconds, there was the code! But adapting it and getting the words to pop up in phase with the motion, in particular, was a bit wierd. But it worked out in the end and I’m quite pleased with it. Just don’t know which side to watch!
