Farrington Daniels, the founder of our International Solar Energy Society, was associated with Hubbert when he first introduced his peak oil analysis.
Farrington Daniels, a physical chemist who had been in charge of the Chicago branch of the Manhattan Project and later started the organization that would become ISES, addressed the future of solar energy, while solar energy was still a dream.
Despite Daniels’ experience in the Manhattan Project (or perhaps because of it), he decided to concentrate on solar energy, forming the society now known as ISES and creating a solar energy program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison that remains famous.

Justin Daniels hit a 10-foot jumper with 20 seconds left in the game and the Leilehua Mules survived the frantic final moments to win an OIA playoff opening round game last night, beating Farrington, 50-49, at Aiea High School.
Farrington then turned the ball over but the Mules missed a dunk and the Govs got the ball back, only to miss a half-court shot at the buzzer.
Daniels finished with 23 points, 11 of which came in the final period.

 [No title]
Monsanto's principal concern was the Daniels Pile, named for Farrington Daniels who, at the Chicago Metallurgical Laboratory in 1944, had designed a reactor with a bed of enriched uranium pebbles moderated by beryllium oxide and cooled by helium gas.
Critics of the Daniels Pile contended that it would never become a practical power-generating reactor and that building a demonstration project wasted time and resources.
It was never constructed, and Daniels, as a professor at the University of Wisconsin, would gain renown as a national expert on solar energy.

In 1947 Farrington Daniels conceived the pebble-bed gas-cooled reactor in which helium rises through fissioning uranium oxide or carbide pebbles and cools them by carrying away heat for power production.
The "Daniels' pile" was a crude version of the later high-temperature gas-cooled reactor developed further at ORNL.
Wigner also predicted that radiation damage to materials used to build reactors could impair their safe operation.
