It additionally talks about the unusual pattern used in modern voodoo engines in the Ford Mustang (which is also mentioned in the article). The video is very similar to this article.

- spuz 3y agoThat's an excellent video and helped me understand a lot. Another great video is this one from a guy who created Engine Simulator which not only simulates the physics but the sound of engines as well. In this video he covers the difference between flat and cross plane engines: https://youtu.be/NBBwva3NZ6o https://youtu.be/NBBwva3NZ6o
