Which invention are we talking about? Who is the British inventor and Who is the American inventor ?

For fake bonus points, identify everyone.

Brilliant video demonstrating multiple physics concepts. Identify the instrument in the center and for bonus cookie points, tell us which principle is responsible for the effect seen when UV light is cast on the instrument.

Oh, there is a Zinc plate on the instrument. That is very vital for the effect you saw.
