These interactive 3D models explain how spinning hard disks magnetically store information.

Animagraffs
We've teamed up with Animagraffs to bring you rad 3D models of engineering marvels.
Sometime in 2013, Animagraffs founder, Jake, had a break in steady ‘bill-paying’ freelance work. Instead of hitting up old haunts for predictable results, he risked a month without income to teach himself 3D modelling, and to create the Car Engine animated GIF series (research, writing, and design from start to finish).
It went mega-viral, landing front and centre in most established news sources and every blog, forum, and pin board in-between. It holds a top spot in search engines to this day.
Three years later, in 2016, Jake teamed up with his brother Wesley
to put their ideas together, and Animagraffs became a company instead of a one-man show.
