Interactive Engine Exhibit

Interactive Engine exhibit is a dynamic mechanical display that allows visitors to explore the inner workings of an internal combustion engine. Designed and built by Sertek, this exhibit bridges the gap between engineering concepts and tangible experience, offering a hands-on understanding of how an engine converts fuel into motion.

Visitor Experience of Interactive Engine

Operate the Engine: Visitors interact with a realistic, cutaway V6 engine model by using a lever and a start button to simulate operation.
Mechanical Insight: As the engine runs, visitors can observe internal components in motion — including valve springs, manifolds, pistons, and the crankshaft — to see how these parts work together to produce power.
Cause and Effect: The transparent design and synchronized movement demonstrate how energy is transferred within the system, creating an engaging educational moment.
