| NO 3: PRAXINOSCOPE WINDMILL |
The 19th century Praxinoscope consisted of a circular beveled mirror reflecting a series of animation frames. When the device is spun, a moving image appears on the mirror. Using wind as the power and a structure that references the Eiffel Tower (built the same time as the invention of the device), the animation appears in the base of the windmill and is completely controlled by the speed and direction of the wind. Mechanical Engineering: Low Ee Ter, Ho Chee Wah, and Wu Xinni |
