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.

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

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.

    • Still a flaw--the SVG should account for how different client devices will render it! Existential doom averted, for now.

    • 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.
