The Library Time and Travel Looks like the Time Machine is not in use at the moment... wonder where the Professor is? The fireplace, which you can't see in this picture, is a secret passage into the mysterious black light Maze Room leading who knows where....

The Bedroom Perception & Illusion This is the Illusionator. It used to be the Professor's bed, but oh, well. Now he sleeps in a hammock. Go under the picket fence and you will become a human kaleidoscope!

The Dining Room Power & Electricity The Professor uses this room to tinker with electricity and lights. The Electrolight-o-later chandelier is not your typical light fixture, as you can see. How do you turn it on? The antique pie safe, of course! Each switch and knob will turn on a different bulb. The glass panels on the cabinet are filled with static electricity... all the more fun to touch, my dear....

The Music Room Playing one instrument at a time was not enough for the Professor, so he turned a grand piano into the Philharmonica-matic, which plays many different instruments! His "Delayed Speech" machine, old jukebox, and an attempt to turn a sewing machine into a record player are here, too.

The Kitchen Chemistry and Physics It's kind of messy, but what did you expect? The sink is filled with powerful magnets and iron shavings, the pizza twister is covered with boxes, you can see a little bit of the peanut butter & jelly sandwich-making machine, and let's not even talk about the refrigerator.

Alexander Graham Bell invented the first telephone, very much like the one on the Professor's desk at Pennypickle's Workshop.

Thomas Alva Edison and the Professor in 1912 with a dynamo. Edison is credited for making vast improvements to dynamos and generators. Phineas later used parts of the dynamo to make the Illusionator.

The two men were good friends, and collaborated on a lot of projects. Phineas was very enthused about many of Edison's inventions, especially the phonograph (Phineas still has one in his Music Room), and the carbon telephone transmitter, which, like Bell's microphone invention, Phineas uses for the Delayed Speech machine at Pennypickle's Workshop. 

Phineas spent a good deal of time with Will and Orv in their workshop, where they built bicycles and dreamed of flying machines. When he and Will were  fiddling with an inner tube box in 1899, they came up with an idea for an effective way to control an aircraft in flight, and the rest is history.

This picture was taken at the home of Guglielmo Marconi, who was the inventor of the radio. The important papers on the desk were brought by Professor Pennypickle. See more about Marconi...
