Zoetrope

A zoetrope is a device which is made of a cylinder with slits cut around the sides, beneath the slits were static photos.
The user had to spin the device and look through the splits on the cylinder at the images on the other side, this gave the illusion that the images were moving.

The earliest zoetrope was created in China around 180 AD by the inventor Ting Huan, back then the device was known as “chao hua chich kuan” (this translates to “the pipe which makes fantasies appear”).
The zoetrope would be hung over a lamp, this would then run the zoetrope through the convection (this is where hot air rises and cold air falls).
