Best screensaver in the history of everythingness

[bert_is_evil]

This screensaver shows an 3D 360 degree rotating view of a working engine. It starts from nothing and builds on the parts so you can see how it all works and fits together - very cool and quite edumakational.

I've uploaded it here for anyone who's interested, 44MB:

I'd upload some screenshots but not sure how to capture them without it disappearing.

Mod's - This was given to me by a colleague who received it from a client, it's a demo so should be no problems with copyright infringements.

Is this it? Here's a crappy low-res youtube of it.

My Autoshop teacher had that as his screensaver..

He got some of the I.T. students to work with the autoshop students and they were in the process of creating an exact thing like that for a rotary engine. Never finished it before I left school.. one hopes it's done by now.

not a repost but it is the one that Repco stores (at least in Welly) have been using - very cool!!

Every single repco store has this running on the parts look-up computers.
