The Gerlitz Sea-Ling Praxinoscope is a delicate balance of optics, electronics, mechanical engineering, and electrical circuits. |
|
Inside the mirror housing is where the magic is. First there is a receiver that silently receives a coded message from the handheld remote. This completes an electrical circuit to the high-frequency transformers that send out high voltage to the super thin electro-luminescence sheets hidden behind the paper strip |
|
The translucent paper strip has precision placed black image negative film placed front reading on the back, so when the light shines through the strip, the image will be backwards. Only to be reversed again correctly in the reflection of the mirror |
|
The whole unit is precision time with magnetic reed switches and a magnet encoded timing disc located under the spinning scope. This creates an extremely narrow viewing angle where only the spectator right in front of the Praxinoscope can see the image no mater the speed of the spinning scope |
|
The other spectators will see nothing. Pressing another key on the silent remote repeats the process for another image reveal. |
