I found a neat fidget spinner that claimed to be a Boxer …
but it had horizontally opposed pistons in sync.
→>>- Opposed motion →>> = (Right + Right) = Out of Balance
->>>- Boxer motion -<<← = (Right - Left) = Balanced
I based it on the photo of a Subaru crankshaft.
I found many “accurate” models of car engines. But either they were too complicated for a beginner to assemble, then once done . . .
all of the workings were inside the engine and you can't see how it works.
My model just shows the basic internal combustion motion of -
pistons in cylinders, with connecting rods and crankshaft.

Engineering:
