    I’ve seen this before, and it’s a paragon of how to explain and demonstrate mechanical concepts.
    This person needs to be hired by someone full time to produce this kind of page for all the things.
    Thanks for reminding me it exists.

    ***edit to add:
    Omg I found archives of more! https://ciechanow.ski/archives/
