Spectrum Analyzer (Handheld, Educational)
Handheld RF spectrum analyzer. See the invisible: WiFi signals, Bluetooth, cellular, radio stations -- all visualized as peaks on a frequency display. I spent my life thinking about how radio signals move through the air. This tool lets you see what I could only imagine.
Invention & Reinvention Mentoring
One-on-one session. I was a movie star and a weapons inventor. I escaped a fascist husband and reinvented myself three times. If you are stuck between identities, between careers, between who you were and who you want to be -- talk to me. The world will try to put you in one box. Refuse.
Hospital Sanitation Audit Toolkit
Checklist-based audit kit for any care facility: hand hygiene stations, ventilation, waste disposal, linen management, water quality. The same methodology I used at Scutari.
Compass (Pocket, Brass -- Like the One That Started It All)
Brass pocket compass. When I was five years old, my father showed me a compass. The needle moved without being touched. Something invisible was acting on it. That moment -- the mystery of the invisible force -- started everything. Give this to a curious child and watch what happens.
Violin (German Make, 1920s, Concert Quality)
My violin. Well, a replica of my favorite one. I named the original Lina. Mozart and Bach -- that's what I play when I'm stuck on a physics problem. The music reorganizes my thinking. If you can play, borrow it. If you can't, I'll give you a beginner lesson. Badly. I'm a better physicist than violinist.
Electricity & Magnetism Workshop -- Fields You Cannot See
Hands-on session. Iron filings on paper over magnets -- watch the field lines appear. Compass needles deflected by current-carrying wires. Electromagnets lifting iron. I will explain how electricity and magnetism are two faces of the same force. James Clerk Maxwell later wrote the math. I gave him the experiments.
Scientific Method Workshop -- Question Everything
Small group (max 6). Hands-on experiments: pendulums, inclined planes, falling objects. We'll replicate my actual experiments from the 1600s. You'll learn to form hypotheses, design experiments, collect data, and draw conclusions. Aristotle said heavy objects fall faster than light ones. I proved him wrong. You'll prove him wrong too, with your own hands.
Multilingual Negotiation Workshop -- Speak Their Language
I spoke nine languages and used every one of them in negotiations. Speaking a person's language is the fastest way to their trust. This workshop covers negotiation tactics, cultural reading, and why the interpreter should be you, not someone you hired. Tip: The person who controls the translation controls the conversation.
Glass Armonica (Working Replica, 37 Bowls)
My most beautiful invention. 37 glass bowls mounted on a spindle, turned by a foot pedal, played with wet fingers. Mozart and Beethoven both composed for it. The sound is unearthly -- people fainted at performances. Some thought it caused madness. It doesn't. It causes wonder. Handle with extreme care.
Military Innovation Seminar -- Rethinking Your Weapons
How to look at an existing weapon, tactic, or system and make it fundamentally better. I took a throwing spear and made it a stabbing spear. I took sandals off warriors and made them faster. Innovation is not invention -- it is seeing what everyone sees and thinking what no one thinks.
Relativity Explained -- Thought Experiments for Everyone
Two-hour session. No equations (well, one equation). I'll explain special and general relativity using the same thought experiments I used to discover them. Riding a beam of light. Trains and lightning strikes. Falling elevators. If you can imagine it, you can understand it. Tip: Relativity is not abstract. Your GPS uses it. Without relativistic corrections, your navigation would be off by 10 kilometers per day.
Impi Formation Drill -- Bull Horn Tactics
Group training (12-20 people). The bull horn formation: the chest pins the enemy, the left and right horns encircle. The loins wait in reserve facing away so they do not grow anxious. Commands by runner. We drill barefoot -- I threw away my warriors' sandals. Tip: A warrior who cannot run 50 miles cannot fight.
