Miata engine slow motion

Video of a 1.8L Miata engine crank pulley while idling, viewed at slow motion. Recorded at 600 frames per second, played back at 20.

Nothing too exciting, just interesting to see fast things moving slowly

wow very very nice!! good to see new shit from ya, great stuff. I want to see a cylinder block cutaway, rotating at like 1800 or 2600 rpms (power band for diesel/gas) or at least in idle speed.

The problem with animating fast objects is that they really won't show up the way you want them to in video. 1800 rpm is 30hz, so one crank revolution per frame. Idle is about 14hz, not much to see there either.

i was looking for watching power stroke of the engine while acelerating.

in this video

for what is visible of the rotation, at idle there isn't too much variation in the speed.

thanks for sharing

@TheRenalicious hmmm. yeah that's true, forgot about that honestly (I don't convert hz and fps to rpms in my head lol)

Well, even so, even higher fps would show it, and honestly, at idle, it at least lets you see roughly the speed and motions, get a feel for it rather than just the vibrations you feel in your seat driving (i drove an I4 for years, so I got used to them)

To be honest, I'm just estatic you posted new stuff lol. Always enjoyed it, post moar dammit!
