Abstract
German
German
Variante der wohl erstmals von Porterfield (1759) beschriebenen, meist mit dem Namen Sinstedens verbundenen Situation: Die Mühle dreht sich hier auch um sich selbst. In Ermangelung von Tiefenreizen kommt es zur Inversion des anschaulichen, real stets dem Uhrzeiger folgenden Drehsinns der Flügel; sie scheinen sich mal nach vorn, mal nach hinten zu drehen.

Version of the situation firstly described by Porterfield (1759) and commonly ascribed to Sinsteden: here the mill is also rotating around itself. Through lack of depth stimuli an inversion of the continously clockwise rotating blades occurs, they seem to move once backward and once forward.
