The interactive illustrations are brilliant! I've seen a few writers use these and for me it helps to grok the concepts quickly. If only school curriculum could incorporate more tools for learning like this, I think more kids would find interest in science and engineering.

ciechanow.ski is one of the great treasures of the Internet: this isn't the only one, there's like a dozen more as good or better.

The internal combustion engine post is one of my all time favorite things I've found on the internet.

I think about the mechanical watch one at least once a week!

Wow, excellent. Does anyone know how those interactive figures are done?

WebGL coded from scratch. Truly remarkable.

Truly fascinating, even more as you mentioned how these are written.

I wonder if rive or Lottie can achieve something similar

whoa, that is truly amazing.

new to all this, but any reason it does not use any frameworks? (or are there no WebGL frameworks?)

Maybe it's a chrome problem, but the 3d objects appear to have the perspective backwards.

Beautifully written and excellent interactive illustrations. Bravo!

great interactive article.
