Well, the wheels are rotating the wrong way, but other than that!

(Maybe it's a strobing artifact?)

This is an optical illusion. If I stare at it and mentally expect a direction, I can make the wheels appear to turn either way.

I looked closely. They are going the wrong way. Still the best one I've seen by a lot.

  • Probably some temporal aliasing on your device. The SVG elements are 100% rotating clockwise.

    • Looks fine on safari iPadOS 26.6.1 wheels rotating forwards. I’m a skeptic but man, this actually has me revising my opinion a bit.

Are they? Looked correct to me. At high enough speeds even real ones can look rotating either way in videos depending on fps.
