We have this screensave floating around our office at work. It's pretty cool. It goes through an engine being assembled, and then operating. Kinda cool, thought some of you guys may enjoy it as well. We have the file on a thumbdrive around here, but I searched and found a link that you can download it from. Here is a pretty good breakdown on how to get it to work, since some people are having a hard time getting this to work.
*EDITED* Allan it works now, I tried it, enjoy!!!!
First, you are downloading a .RAR file. These files need to be extracted with the program WINRAR, much like a .ZIP file is extracted using WINZIP. But winzip will not extract .RAR files that I can see, so you need to have WINRAR. This can be downloaded for free at the following site.

Now, after you have winrar, do the following exactly. I copied these from another forum, so just do what he says...
Took a lot of searching, but found a foreign language forum talking about it and they linked to the file being hosted in Germany. It is 42.5 MB. Here is the link:

You'll be presented with a table that says premium or free download. Click the free button near the bottom right of the page/table. Then it makes you wait about 30 seconds before presenting you with a final confirmation code (another attempt to get you to pay for their premium d/l service). Stay strong, wait for it, the file you get is motor.rar and it's the real deal.
Extract the .rar files to your C:\Windows directory. Then you can use control panel to find the new screen saver in your list of screen savers available. The screen saver will be called "Deutz Engine".
I saw this thing for the first time at one of my automotive mfg plants in Mexico last week.
It's very, very impressive. Enjoy!
