Optics Demonstration -- Prisms, Spectra & Light
I will demonstrate how white light splits into a spectrum through a glass prism, and how a second prism recombines it. This experiment settled a 2,000-year debate. Light is not pure -- it is a mixture of colors. Includes hands-on experiments with reflection, refraction, and Newton rings.
Steam Engine Model (Working, Watt Type with Separate Condenser)
Working model of my improved steam engine with separate condenser. Brass and steel, spirit-fired boiler, governor mechanism. Watch it run and understand why the Industrial Revolution happened. The separate condenser is the key -- you can see the cylinder stays hot while the condenser stays cold. That's a 75% efficiency improvement over Newcomen.
Phonograph (Cylinder Type, Working Replica)
Working replica of my 1877 phonograph. Speak into the horn, turn the crank, it records your voice on a tin foil cylinder. Then play it back. The first time I heard my own voice played back, I knew the world had changed. You will too.
Anti-Colonial Resistance Seminar -- 16 Years Against France
How I fought the French empire for sixteen years with local resources. Scorched earth, strategic retreat, rebuilding in new territory, diplomatic maneuvering with the British. When France took my western empire, I built a new one further east. Tip: If you cannot hold the ground, take the people and the knowledge. Territory can be reconquered. Dead men cannot.
