A Modern Mechanical Television -- Nipkow Discs and Arduinos Lead to a Mechanical Color TV (video)

I had, of course, heard about the mechanical TV systems that pre-dated the CRT-based "electronic TV" invented by Philo Farnsworth.  But I never really understood how they worked until I saw this Hack-A-Day article by Jenny List.  And wow, I see it now.  Nipkow discs.   Color TV.  Parts made in a 3D printer. Excellent. 

Here is Jenny's post:  https://hackaday.com/2022/05/27/3d-print-a-colour-tv/

Here's the IEEE Spectrum article by Markus Mierse (the brilliant fellow who built this amazing device): https://spectrum.ieee.org/mechanical-tv

Be sure to watch the video (above).  Take a look at the awesome quality of the 32 line color TV picture. And check out Marcus's amazingly beautiful construction.  (Note:  Built on a wooden base).
