PlayStation 5 (Brand New, Sealed)
Brand new PS5, still in box. My cousin got two for Christmas and doesn't need this one. Rent it for a weekend or buy it outright. Best price in Trapani. No receipt but it's legit, trust me.
Geiger Counter (Professional Grade, Calibrated)
Professional-grade Geiger-Muller counter, recently calibrated. Detects alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Includes headphones for the characteristic clicking sound. When Pierre and I first heard the clicks from our radium sample, we knew we had something the world had never seen.
Mongol Composite Recurve Bow & Quiver (30 Arrows)
Laminated horn-sinew-wood composite bow, 160-pound draw. Effective range 350 yards. Comes with 30 arrows -- armor-piercing, broad-head, and whistling signal arrows. I will string it for you. Most people cannot.
Lakota Bow & Arrow Set (Sinew-Backed, 20 Arrows)
Short sinew-backed bow, 45-pound draw, optimized for mounted use. Twenty dogwood arrows with iron and flint points. This is what we hunted buffalo with from horseback at full gallop -- one arrow could pass through a buffalo at close range.
Ink Making Workshop -- Oil-Based, From Scratch
Make your own oil-based printing ink from linseed oil, soot, and pigments. Water-based ink was fine for stamps but terrible for type -- it beaded up on metal. I had to invent a new ink. You'll leave with a jar of ink good enough to print with. Wear old clothes.
Creative Thinking Workshop -- The Patent Clerk Method
Small group (max 5). I'll teach you how to do thought experiments: isolate a problem, strip it to essentials, follow the logic to impossible conclusions, then ask why they're impossible. This is how I found special relativity. This is how you solve any problem where the conventional answer feels wrong. Bring a notebook. Bring a problem. Leave with a new way to think.
Woodland Warfare & Ambush Tactics
Fighting in the eastern forests. Ambush placement, tree-line defense, river crossing interdiction. The Shawnee were masters of woodland warfare -- we knew every trail, every crossing, every blind turn. Tip: In the forest, the defender is invisible and the attacker is blind. Make the forest your ally.
Vintage Suit Collection (1940s-1960s Savile Row Replicas)
Four suits: charcoal flannel (North by Northwest), light gray (To Catch a Thief), midnight navy (Charade), and cream linen (An Affair to Remember). All tailored in the Savile Row style I favored -- natural shoulders, single-vent, drape cut. Tip: A suit should look like you were born in it. If it looks new, it doesn't fit yet.
Cinematography Masterclass -- Light Is Everything
Barry Lyndon was lit entirely by candlelight using a NASA lens. The Shining used Steadicam before anyone knew what Steadicam was. 2001 invented front-projection on a scale nobody had attempted. We study how to light a scene so it tells the story before anyone speaks. Tip: Natural light is almost always better than artificial. Learn to see it first.
Evidence-Based Practice -- Convince the Skeptics
Small group (max 5). Introduce new practices into resistant institutions. Collect before-and-after data, present clearly, find early adopters, publish results, and never argue with ego -- argue with mortality rates.
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.
Reflecting Telescope (Newtonian Design, 6-Inch)
Six-inch Newtonian reflector telescope. My design -- a curved mirror instead of a lens. No chromatic aberration. I built the first one in 1668, grinding the mirror myself from speculum metal. This modern version uses aluminum-coated glass. Point it at Saturn.
