I would like to show animations of solids of revolutions particularly to those students who are not visualizers. Is there a tool that I (and preferably my students also) can use to create animations? It would be great to know what you use in classroom and how successful it has been.

Free software GeoGebra from www.geogebra.org will let you do this. Here is an example https://www.geogebra.org/m/mzWq2Cet and a video showing the construction of a solid of revolution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wOtyT86Qhw. Your construction can easily be exported as html and embedded in a website too.

CalcPlot3D has the ability to plot a surface of revolution, and it lets you animate the revolution, as well as display washers/shells for visualizing volumes.
