In Part III of Gulliver’s Travels, when Gulliver visits the Grand Academy of Lagado, the first projector he meets is a man engaged in a highly unusual experiment.

  1. The man had been working for eight years on a project to extract sunbeams from cucumbers.

  2. His plan was to bottle the sunbeams and later release them in order to warm the air during cool summers.

  3. This experiment was impractical and absurd, showing a complete waste of time and resources.

  4. Swift used this episode to satirize foolish and unrealistic scientific research that contributed little to human welfare.

  5. It stands as one of the most famous examples of Swift’s sharp satire against misguided intellectual pursuits.
