In 2007, Dr. Elias M. Michaelides, of Yale University’s Hearing & Balance Program, operated on a 27-year-old suffering from hearing loss due to a collapsed ear drum.

Eric Ingersoll wants to solve a central shortcoming of solar and wind power: their intermittency, such as when clouds block the sun or wind peters out during peak demand. His solution borders on geo-engineering: blow huge volumes of compressed air into underground salt caverns when the power sources are generating and then release the air through turbines when electricity is needed.
