Every day I send you a thousand
times more power than you'll use
in a year.

00:07.533 --> 00:10.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The sun's energy is absorbed
and transported into heat.

00:12.366 --> 00:14.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
She was vivacious and she
was a tremendous promoter.

00:15.733 --> 00:17.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
She's not just a scientist.
She's glamorous.

00:17.900 --> 00:20.966 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
She's entertaining. She's fun.

00:20.966 --> 00:23.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
She was ahead of her time
and asking the right questions.

00:26.433 --> 00:29.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Dr. Maria Telkes has
designed a model house

00:29.500 --> 00:30.766 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
in which solar heat is
distributed throughout the whole
house.

00:32.466 --> 00:34.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Everything about that
house was unusual and radical.

00:35.400 --> 00:37.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Nothing else would
even get close

00:37.400 --> 00:39.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
to the Dover Sun House in
terms of media coverage.

00:40.900 --> 00:43.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
The modern insulating window,
delivers year round comfort.

00:43.833 --> 00:46.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
It was this age of all this
talk about solar.

00:47.366 --> 00:50.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
She really imagined this as

00:50.500 --> 00:51.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
revolutionizing the
way that people lived.

00:53.866 --> 00:57.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Telkes knew you can't just wait
for society to be ready.

00:57.000 --> 00:58.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
You need to sell
them on this idea.

01:01.566 --> 01:03.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Telkes is seen as too aggressive
and pushy.

01:05.400 --> 01:06.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
This was not something that
would have been easy as a woman.

01:08.300 --> 01:10.433 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
The men at MIT are furious that
she is getting attention for
this.

01:13.166 --> 01:14.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
She was a groundbreaker
in so many ways.

01:16.300 --> 01:19.033 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
She's laying a foundation for
pretty much everything now that
we

01:19.033 --> 01:20.066 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
do with solar.
