"Animagraffs" that you can see the principle of moon walk and jet engine with GIF animation by eye

Jacob O'Neal, a graphic designer, will teach us the mechanisms of four stroke engines for automobiles, automatic guns, skateboards, wheels, liquid crystal displays, cheetahs and other infographics, sometimes using animated GIFs. site"Animagraffs"is.

◆ Moonwalk
The following page says, "You will not be too late if you learn the correct moon walk from now! Most people are doing the wrong moon walk, but you are OK!" The "correct" way with animation It is illustrated.

The Moonwalk - Animagraffs

First place the left foot forward and the right foot behind.


Next, float the heel of the right foot, let's put the weight around the ball of the right foot (the so-called paw).


Then slide the left foot to the back, leaving the right foot intact. At this time, the point is to slide the left foot perfectly on the ground.


If you slide the left foot to the back, change the shape of the left and right feet this time. Wear the heel of the left foot to the ground, float the heel of the right foot and move the weight to the ball of the right foot.


In the same way as on the time of the left foot, slide it while wearing the right foot perfectly on the ground.


The point to be most noticed is that "Slide the feet on the slide side while keeping it parallel to the ground".


While practicing repeatedly while watching this animation it was surely possible to make a perfect moon walk.

◆ How the jet engine works
It also illustrates the mechanism of a jet engine that will bring dozens of people to hundreds of passengers and baggage-bearing aircraft to the soaring sky.

Here is the image that made the animation of how the turbofan engine works. It is mainstream of modern jet enginesTurbo fan engineIt shows the principle of the difference between the amount of air flowing in "low bypass ratio" and "high bypass ratio" in blue color.


The heart part of the jet engine, the core part is like this. The following images are still images, but in the animation displayed on the site, in fact the wings are also rotating in the opposite direction inside the engine has also been reproduced.


In addition to this, it is used for combustion chambers and fuel fighters that burn fuelAfterburnerIt has become possible to see the movement of animation by the animation, and it is quite interesting.

◆ 4-stroke engine for automobiles
Here is the basic movement of a 4-stroke engine widely used in cars running around the city.

The four strokes for burning gasoline and converting it into power are shown clearly in "1. Intake, 2. Compression, 3. Burning, 4. Exhaust".


◆ Automatic gun
The mechanism of a handgun that is almost unfamiliar to Japanese people is animated.

How a Handgun Works: 1911 .45 - Animagraffs

Colt company military automatic gun "M1911It shows how the bullet is fired.


Pulling the trigger activates the firing pin and allows you to check the sequence of firing bullets in slow motion.


◆ Wheel of skateboard
Although it is not an animation here, the appearance of diameters, widths, shapes differing depending on the type of wheel of the skateboard is reproduced in infographics.

◆ Liquid crystal display
Illustrated the mechanism of liquid crystal display which is thought to be the most widely used now except for organic EL.

Flat Screen Displays - Animagraffs

The principle that the liquid crystal panel adjusts light,Three primary colors of lightYou can see the mechanism to express every color.


◆ Cheetah
Here is what made cheetah running called "the fastest creature on the ground" animated.

The acceleration force of the cheetah isEnzo Ferrari, And its fastest speed is said to be 64 miles per hour (102 kilometers per hour).


Even though I knew that mechanism, it was a work that taught me a very interesting content as I looked at it again.
