'''1929:''' The Great Depression begins. Eve Curie, continuing her father's experiments with piezoelectricity, attempts to demonstrate piezoelectric effect with gallium. Due to a laboratory accident, the experiment is tainted with mercury. She is astonished to discover that gallium immersed in mercury creates more electricity than it consumes using this method. However, the fuel is far from perfect, and the crystals do degrade over time.
