Описание: Maria Telkes created the first solar-heated house in 1947, designing thermal energy storage systems that could store heat from the sun for days without electricity The 1947 Dover Sun House was a futuristic project led by three pioneering women: physicist Maria Telkes, who conceived the heat-storage system; architect Eleanor Raymond, who designed the structure; and sculptor Amelia Peabody, who funded the experiment. Telkes’s innovative system used a chemical compound known as Glauber’s Salt, sealed in containers between panes of glass, to absorb solar energy during the day and release it to heat the house at night. Though the concept was revolutionary and proved that solar heating was possible, the ambitious project was short-lived. Within just a few years, the salt stratified and corroded its metal containers, causing the system to fail. Despite this, the experiment was a landmark achievement, providing invaluable data that spurred future research in renewable energy.
