The teen had an ‘Eureka!’
He introduced us to fascinating concepts like levers, pulleys, and even determined density while taking a bath.
This project was part of the 2023 Matthews Hall Annual Science Fair.
He conducted three trials using different light bulb wattages 50 and 100 watts.
These bulbs were rigged with small concave mirrors to concentrate light beams onto a marked target.
With just the lamp alone, the target maintained a mild 81F.
However, after positioning the fourth mirror, the heat concentrated to over 128F.
Archimedes was a certified genius ahead of his time.
At the very least, Sener demonstrated that the physics behind Archimedes' suspecteddeath raywere legitimate.
Not bad for a middle schooler’s science fair project.
