That was long before my time! I left school when I was sixteen, same as everybody else, and then I started work at Wolfie Windy Water. That\u2019s Wolfland Wind &amp; Water Power. They have their own research institute. That\u2019s where I did my PostEd studies, a five year sandwich course, leading to a <em>Dipl\u00f4me Sup\u00e9rieur<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>BarmyWaffle pauses as the door opens and MaxChaos walks in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAh, Max! Come in sunshine, sit down, sit down, we were just talking about you, batteries and solar power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSolar power?\u201d says NutJob, \u201cwere we?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes we were! This calculator had two power sources, a small battery, and this translucent panel here was a photovoltaic cell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, Max is our bright ray of sunlight, shining his mighty power on this light sensitive cell, and that creates electricity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow does it create electricity?\u201d asks HayWire, \u201cand why don\u2019t we have any of these photovoltaic cells any more?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShort answer, electrons get excited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLong answer, boron, phosphorous and silicon. But we don\u2019t have the tools to make wafer thin sheets of silicon any more, let alone treat them with boron or phosphorous. That needs temperatures as high as 1,000\u00b0C along with a carefully managed, sterile environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyway, silicon semiconductors are sandwiched between two sheets of clear plastic. And we don\u2019t have plastic any more. That\u2019s why I was telling you about the University of Waterloo, and that\u2019s why Jerry mentioned <em>The Shorb<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>The Shorb<\/em>?\u201d asks NutJob.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSchr\u00f6dinger\u2019s Orb.
