Edwin Drake drilled the first oil well in Titusville, Pennsylvania in 1859; automobiles became affordable when Henry Ford introduced his Model T in 1908, with a price tag of $825. Henri Becquerel discovered the spontaneous disintegration of uranium atoms in 1896; the

personal.ems.psu.eduChapter 14 we discussed nuclear fusion; it could solve all our energy problems, but many technical problems need to be overcome before it can be harnessed and commercialized. The production of electricity using fusion must go through the ‘bottleneck’ of thermal-to-mechanical energy conversion, which is inherently inefficient.
