you have no idea how glad I am to see you say that... virtualy NOONE these days can appreciate such corrections and sometimes I wonder if I am the only one who wants to be shown my mistakes. then again, making such an animation you are mechanicaly minded so maybe that is why, like me, you prefer correction over perpetual mistake no matter how small  :)

@TAPriceCTR Some off these animations that I made are time consuming and difficult. My purpose is to educate young engineering students about mechanisms. Our generation did not have the luxury of Internet, YouTube and Flash animations. I wish we had. So while I do these animation unintended mistakes happen. I always take good and correct criticism with respect. Here is a saying that I like about good criticism.

"The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticized."

the black pin link is not sliding, it is fixed in the red arm.

[mekanizmalar]

@TAPriceCTR The black pin is a shaft that the red arm rotates around it.

@mekanizmalar "pin" should not have been in that sentence. time 1:10. she says that part freely slides as well, it does not. it is adjustable as mentioned at 3:30, if she made the animation she did it by someone elses instructions because if she understood the device she would not have made that mistake at 1:10.

@TAPriceCTR Now I see what you mean. I did the animation and my daughter did the talking. She is not in mechanics and she just fallowed my instructions. When I checked my notes, I see the subtle mistake I made that you mentioned. Thank you for clarifying it. I am glad that people like you pay close attention to minute details. Your help will be appreciated.

I just thought of a very good use for this... a stirling engine has a return stroke, not a compression stroke... the heat transfer is continuous as such the faster you return the more efficient not to mention the increased power to weight ratio of spending a greater percentage of time in the drive stroke. also injecting the cold air faster will also grant improved efficiency.

Seems very open to suggestion. Thats a good gesture. Wow only 6 people bothered to click" like" but 15 commented. Like your postings, I do.

@mekanizmalar

"pin" should not have been in that sentence, my mistake, it should have just said "the black link".

time 1:10. she says that part freely slides as well, it does not (only the pin attached to the gear slides freely in the red arm). it is adjustable as mentioned at 3:30, if she made the animation she did it by someone elses instructions because if she understood the device she would not have made that subtle mistake at 1:10.
