ARCH Motorcycle Experience (Custom KRGT-1)
A ride on the KRGT-1 -- the motorcycle I co-designed with Gard Hollinger at ARCH Motorcycle Company. S&S 2032cc V-twin, billet aluminum frame, handcrafted everything. This isn't a rental. It's a supervised ride experience on a closed course. Because some things you have to feel to understand.
Self-Reinvention Workshop -- Becoming Who You Choose to Be
Archie Leach became Cary Grant. A poor boy from Bristol became the most suave man in Hollywood. I teach you that persona is a craft -- voice, posture, wardrobe, and the stories you tell about yourself. We're not faking it. We're CHOOSING who to become. Tip: Dress for the role you want, walk like you already have it, speak like it's already yours.
Wind Tunnel (Tabletop, Educational Model)
Scaled replica of the wind tunnel Wilbur and I built from a starch box. Test wing shapes, measure lift and drag. We tested 200 airfoils in two months with a rig like this. Every aircraft flying today traces back to data from this box. Includes smoke wand for flow visualization.
Model Aircraft Kit (Balsa Wood, Rubber Band Powered)
Complete balsa wood kit to build a flying model aircraft. Rubber band motor, tissue covering, adjustable tail surfaces. Takes about 4 hours to build, flies for 30-45 seconds. It's the same principle as the Flyer -- just smaller and less terrifying.
Prototyping Workshop -- Test Before You Build
Small group (max 4). Bring your design idea. We'll build a quick scale model and test it. The Wright method: never build the full-size version until the model works. Langley spent $50,000 of government money and his aircraft crashed into the Potomac. We spent under $1,000 and flew. The difference was testing.
Laws of Motion Workshop -- Forces & Momentum
Small group (max 5). Hands-on experiments demonstrating all three laws of motion. Newton cradle, collision carts, spring scales, inclined planes. You will measure forces, predict outcomes, and verify them. Every bridge, every car, every rocket uses these three laws.
Spark Gap Transmitter (Demo Model, Low Power)
Low-power replica of an early spark-gap transmitter. Generates broadband radio pulses you can receive on an AM radio across the room. The crackle of the spark, the hiss in the receiver -- this is how the Titanic called for help.
Engine Rebuilding Workshop -- Gasoline Fundamentals
Disassemble and reassemble a small gasoline engine. Pistons, valves, crankshaft, carburetor, ignition. You will understand the four-stroke cycle by touching every part. I built my first engine on the kitchen table. Clara held the fuel line.
Woodworking Jig & Fixture Building
Build a jig that produces identical parts every time. The jig transfers skill from craftsman to tool. A skilled worker makes one perfect piece. A jig lets anyone make a thousand.
Patent Writing Crash Course -- Protect Your Ideas
Small group (max 4). I'll teach you how to write a patent application: claims, specifications, drawings. The patent is the inventor's sword and shield. Without it, your idea belongs to whoever copies it first. I learned this the hard way with the movie camera.
Phone Screen Repair Service
Cracked screen? I fix iPhones, Samsungs, Pixels, and most Android phones. You buy the screen (I'll tell you which one), I do the labor. 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Physics & Engineering Tutoring -- Levers, Pulleys, Buoyancy
Hands-on physics lessons using real machines. We'll build levers, compound pulleys, and test buoyancy in water. You'll understand why ships float, how cranes work, and how I held off the Roman navy with math and mirrors.
