Publisher and Plateau's doctoral adviser Adolphe Quetelet claimed to have received a working model to present to Faraday as early as November 1832. [24] Plateau mentioned in 1836 that he thought it difficult to state the exact time when he got the idea, but he believed he was first able to successfully assemble his invention in December.
1540 Strobolume, a professional grade stroboscope produced by General Radio Close-up view of the 1540 Strobolume control box. Joseph Plateau of Belgium is generally credited with the invention of the stroboscope in 1832, when he used a disc with radial slits which he turned while viewing images on a separate rotating wheel.
Simon Stampfer, Lithograph by Josef Kriehuber, 1842. Simon Ritter von Stampfer (26 October 1792 (according to other sources 1790)), in Windisch-Mattrai, Archbishopric of Salzburg, today called Matrei in Osttirol, Tyrol – 10 November 1864 in Vienna) was an Austrian mathematician, surveyor and inventor.
In July 1833, Simon Stampfer described the possibility of using the stroboscope principle in a cylinder (as well as on looped strips) in a pamphlet accompanying the second edition of his version of the phénakisticope. [37] British mathematician William George Horner suggested a cylindrical variation of Plateau's phénakisticope in January 1834.
He invented a motion picture projector in 1853, [citation needed] developing it over the years from 1845 [1] from the device then called stroboscope (Simon von Stampfer) [2] and phenakistiscope (Joseph Plateau). [3]
Joseph Antoine Ferdinand Plateau (French: [ʒozɛf ɑ̃twan fɛʁdinɑ̃ plato]; 14 October 1801 – 15 September 1883) was a Belgian physicist and mathematician. He was one of the first people to demonstrate the illusion of a moving image. [ 3 ]
Plateau proposed a stop motion technique avant la lettre with stereoscopic recordings of plaster models in different positions. [9] He never executed the elaborate plan, probably because he had turned blind by this time.
Strobo Trip - Light & Audio Phase Illusions Toy is a toy box containing a stroboscope light and a memory stick with three tracks of music composed by the band The Flaming Lips. After the announcement in early May, [1] it was released on September 20, 2011 at 5 pm, and is known for the 6-hour long track "I Found a Star on the Ground."
