In 2021, Valentin Dimitrov demonstrates and showcases various physical laws and chemical phenomena in a barn he transformed through his enterprising spirit. Nearly 30 products were exhibited then – a mock-up of an airplane wing profile, a pendulum clock mechanism, 3D puzzles, a frequency generator, a painting robot, a miniature organ, polyplast (a structure made of ropes with pulleys with a 20-kilogram weight attached to them, loads are lifted), Nikola Tesla’s coil, etc. The 64-year-old Valentin Dimitrov made the models with his own hands. He is also the tour guide in the museum and shows the visitors the magic of science. Usually the greatest interest is in the Archimedes screw, practically the first irrigation pump in history. Tour operators present the private Science Museum in Usoi with new exhibits as a destination.
