Auto Exploded

May 16th, 2009 by Tom

In an article for AIGA (”the professional association for design”), auto design expert Phil Patton rounds up several examples of “real life” exploded automotive machinery. I especially like the Harley Davidson Museum’s dismantled motorcycle, which looks intact from the side but seems to disassemble as you walk around it.

about

Explainist is a blog about the art of explaining. Check out the first post to get a sense of the blog mission and see why I'm such an explanation nerd.

I earned my explaining merit badge as one of the original writers and the mid-aughts Editorial Director for HowStuffWorks.com. These days, I'm an independent Web project consultant, freelance writer and part-time crazy dog person. You can learn more about me here.

Fellow explainist and citizen on patrol Dave Coustan also shows up to explain now and then. You can learn more about Dave here.

If you have any thoughts about Explainist, I'd love to hear from you. You can reach me at tom at explainist dot com

Thank you for visiting,
