When do you think the first Solar powered vehicle was created? Well the reality is that a lot of you (even I) was not born yet. It took twelve selenium photoelectric cells and powered a small electric motor that turned the driveshaft.

That, the first Coca-cola, the Satellite Act, Michael Vick’s dogfighting, Blu-ray Disc Association and a whole ton more is in this weeks’ episode of “This Week in Tech History”. So take a listen - you might just learn something new. Or old - however you want to look at it.
