I want to thank all of you who have emailed to let me know that you enjoyed OTHERWISE ENGAGED. In addition to questions about the heroines amazing fan (a Tessen) some have wondered where I got the idea to use a solar engine in a 19th century plot. Well, turns out that there was a LOT of scientific and engineering work on solar power going on throughout the Victorian era. Some amazing breakthrough were made: solar powered engines were built, solar cells made from selenium wafers were developed -- they thought they were going to run out of coal, you see. Yep, things were going great with solar energy in the 19th century -- and then they discovered what you could do with oil... The rest, as they say, is history. www1.eere.energy.gov/solar/pdfs/solar_timeline.pdf
