Innovations in Energy and Technology: Pelton Turbine to Semiconductor Advances

Chapter 10 explores the evolution of innovation in hydraulic energy with the Pelton turbine, highlighting its role since Montgomery's 1883 advancements. It discusses the impact of aerospace research at institutions like UCLA and Caltech, noting that 25% of U.S. military funding and 42% of JPL's research focused on these fields by 1958. The post-war electronic growth in Silicon Valley is examined, tracing the rise of semiconductors and silicon chips, culminating in the establishment of Intel in 1968 and the biotech sector's contribution, comprising 40% of California's economy.
