Mechanical Television: Incredibly simple, yet entirely bonkers

John Logie Baird is often considered to be the inventor of television, but not of television as we know it. His mechanical television is a remarkable invention for its simplicity, but as you'll soon see, it would never have been all that practical.

I Built a Mechanical Digital Camera With a Nipkow Disk
See how I built a mechanical camera using an old record that I turned into a Nipkow disk.
The principle was already patented in the year 1884 by Paul Nipkow and realized 40 years later by John Logie Baird. Now I reinvented it, using a state-of-the-art stepper motor and a Raspberry Pi. Although the images are blurry, distorted and black and white, you can neverteless recognize what´s on them.

Nipkow Spiral Disk
Nipkow Spiral DiskThe principle of image dissection had been one of the first steps on the way to the television. Nipkow spiral disk was the first image dissection device. Earlier, in 1873 W. Smith and J. Mayhem discovered selenium photosensitivity (inner photo effect). In 1888 A. G. Stoletov created a photo electric cell with an external photoeffect. These discoveries helped to create first systems of "remote vision". In 1878 Adriano de Paiva, a Portuguese inventor, created the first TV transmitter. The French inventor Constantin Senlecq, English electrical engineers John Perry and William Edward Airton, American employee John Carry, and Russian inventor Porfiriy Ivanovich Bakhmetiev initiated first TV projects. These projects provided for image dissection using mechanical equipment. Howe...

Nipkov's Disc @science_illusion #scienceexperiment
The device is a mechanically spinning disk of any suitable material (metal, plastic, cardboard, etc.), with a series of equally-distanced circular holes of equal diameter drilled in it. The holes may also be square for greater precision. These holes are positioned to form a single-turn spiral starting from an external radial point of the disk and proceeding to the center of the disk. When the disk rotates, the holes trace circular ring patterns, with inner and outer diameter depending on each hole's position on the disk and thickness equal to each hole's diameter. The patterns may or may not partially overlap, depending on the exact construction of the disk. A lens projects an image of the scene in front of it directly onto the disk.[3] Each hole in the spiral takes a "slice" through the i...

These projects provided for image dissection using mechanical equipment. However, Paul Nipkow, a German railwayman, made the most famous and significant contribution to the history of television. In 1884 he took out a patent for a disk with evenly spiralled small holes. If you place and rotate this disk in the photolens's focus, you will see one image point at a given moment. You'll see all image points in one rotation. As persistence is typical of a human eye (about 0.1 second), an image will be perceived as continuous provided rapid disk rotation.Scientists and engineers obtained all means required to give birth to television. They only needed an impulse to promote their creativity. And they got it. Eighteen ninety five faced radio and cinema discoveries. As they were becoming more and more widespread, and this popularity caused the equipment able to transmit images of moving objects over large distances to be developed in early 1900s.

The device is a mechanically spinning disk of any suitable material (metal, plastic, cardboard, etc.), with a series of equally-distanced circular holes of equal diameter drilled in it. The holes may also be square for greater precision. These holes are positioned to form a single-turn spiral starting from an external radial point of the disk and proceeding to the center of the disk. When the disk rotates, the holes trace circular ring patterns, with inner and outer diameter depending on each hole's position on the disk and thickness equal to each hole's diameter. The patterns may or may not partially overlap, depending on the exact construction of the disk. A lens projects an image of the scene in front of it directly onto the disk.[3] Each hole in the spiral takes a "slice" through the image which is picked up as a temporal pattern of light and dark by a sensor. If the sensor is made to control a light behind a second Nipkow disk rotating synchronously at the same speed and in the same direction, the image will be reproduced line-by-line. The size of the reproduced image is again determined by the size of the disc; a larger disc produces a larger image.
When spinning the disk while observing an object "through" the disk, preferably through a relatively small circular sector of the disk (the viewport), for example, an angular quarter or eighth of the disk, the object seems "scanned" line by line, first by length or height or even diagonally, depending on the exact sector chosen for observation. By spinning the disk rapidly enough, the object seems complete and capturing of motion becomes possible. This can be intuitively understood by covering all of the disk but a small rectangular area with black cardboard (which stays fixed), spinning the disk and observing an object through the small area.
