The original STDMA used by AIS (it is used both by ships and airplanes) acquires data from and about the 256 nearest vessels. The circle or sphere of vessel detection is automatically decreased, if the number of vessels increase beyond this limit, so that you always get the positions of the 256 vessels closest to you. I once participated in a 3-way video conference with Håkan Lans, where he walked students from three universities through the mathematics behind the STDMA system. It was not easy to understand immediately, but the system is brilliant and cleverly simple once you understand how the mathematical pieces fit together.
I may be off on the number 256, but the point is that there is a maximum number of slots that are filled with information about the nearest vessels, so that the system works (by shrinking the detection area/volume) even when there are more vessels around.
The thing with Dynamite is that it is comprised of things used at the time to blow things up. Its just that dynamite made it inert unless exposed to large amounts of heat. So it was made as a way for people to safely use it and transport it without dying. Think miners for example. Of course dynamite was used for ill gain too, but so were other explosives. Without dynamite we probably wouldnt have such a rapid industrial revolution.

1.Gustav Duglas. the axial highpresure compressor. ( Franck Whittle and Otto von Hein make the axial compressor. ) 2. Förslagslådan, "Inovation box" that is even not get as patenth. As old member of daffo (Denmark.) Within Sweden do i say there lov level within the company, and openminded to take ( not adwange but inspiration from customor and specialy ther own employer. LEAN hava a lack of the 8 muda ! ) Swish. That is also a good swedish innovation. Ball bearings. Year 2020+ they continue there innovation. Lower friction by 10+%. Longer actionsradius, lower fuel and polution, lower maintaince.
Well, the seat belt story isn't all true. An american actually invented it but not a single car manufacturer in the U.S. was interested in it. Nils Bolin then took his idea and refined it and Volvo started using it in their vehicles. The only thing Sweden and Volvo can take credit for regarding this is to actually make it a standard feature in cars. And yes, I'm Swedish.
I'll give you a half right on that. It's true that Griswold and de Haven made a three point seatbelt, which was granted patent no. US2710649A in 1955 (filed for in 1951). Compared to Bohlin's seatbelt it was only thought through halfway. The lap part was split up into two parts, whereof one was attached to the shoulder - chest strap where half the buckle was. The other part of the lap strap was to be buckled with that. The short single piece of the lap strap ended on the hip. A huge buckle right on the hip bone... Nothing I would like to have. The other part of the lap strap was adjustable, with a sliding buckle. With a little bit of "luck" that could end up on your other hip bone. The shoulder - chest strap was attached either in the seat or in the floor behind the seat, also adjustable with a sliding buckle. I guess they tried to get the shoulder - chest strap as much as possible in the middle of the body. Like an upside down Y. Simply, the human being is a lazy creature, two straps to adjust is two to many, but we can, if motivated, settle with one. The position of the buckle was not in the ultimate spot. At first sight it looked a lot like Bohlin's, but the differences, in both construction and how it works are significant. For instance, Bohlin's belt is V-shaped, a slightly leaning V, pointed downwards, at the middle between the seats. (World patent no. US3043625A, granted 1962-07-10 (7 October?), filed for in 1959) To place the buckle at the end of the lap strap part, attaching near the floor, and have the same strap continued over the chest and shoulder, running freely, attached in the frame of the car, at the floor, and high up, where the back of the seat ended, at the side of the car makes the seatbelt both comfortable and safe to wear. It was easier to adjust; only one place. I couldn't find any really good pictures showing this, not even Bohlin's own sketch is crystal clear on that. I don't remember exactly, and my memory only stretches back to around 1970, but I recall two types of adjusting. One with a sliding buckle over the lap, and one with a sliding buckle over the chest, but I can't take an oath on either. In hindsight, my personal thought is that it gives a lot more length to play with, having it at the top of the shoulder strap. However, the disadvantage of these belts was that they more often were partly outside of the car when you closed the door, than inside 😅. The roller belt behaves better in this matter, but isn't flawless.
Also, Swedish Hans Karlsson invented the self retracting, self locking seatbelt (rullbälte). (Filed for patent in 1963, in 1969 he was granted the Swedish patent no. SE311831B)
The Swedes invented the safety matches and for some time they made an absolute ton of money for them. Nowadays everybody manufactures those, but Swedish match companies make some money from mainly domestic sales. In the time when the main way of making fire involved the the non-safety matches which were somewhat liable to self igniting if just jostled about hader than jogging with a pack of them in one's pocket, the safety ones which absolutely require scratching against the striking surface were a great development. The modern one can be aggravatingly hard to light if the striking surfaces are worn down, but lighters have been invented.
Dynamite was used in mines and also in farming for breaking big stones for example in the making of clear land for railways and also by farmers to clear new fields for farms.

As i have heard the explosives before dynamite was that it accidently could explode from small mistakes or bumps, dynamite could be hit with a sledgehammer and it would not go off
Dynamite was only used for mining. However, the problem with dynamite is that it only keep 50% of the power of Nitroglycerin (the base of dynamite) so in 1875, he made Gelatinite or "Blasting Jelly" which is still used today in tunneling. It keeps approx. 80% of the power of Nitroglycerin but still remain safe.
Wood stove with high burning chamber with door and primary and secondary air inlets and heat exchange channels on sides and a lot bricks or stone was also a Swedish invention. The army needed before that so much wood for heating that it demanded too much labour and forest to be cut. The efficiency improvement was more than ten fold compared to open fireplace with direct open chimney.

The original vid missed out on some pretty significant inventions. I.e. ballbearings, styrofoam, Bluetooth, respirator, tetra pac packaging, propeller, lightweight concrete, AGA lighthouse, kerosene stove, pipe wrench, harvester, fork binders and so on.
Dynamite has led to far more good than bad and pretty much laid the foundation to all of modern construction work. Before dynamite things like mining and especially construction went very slowly and involved a lot more work, set backs and accidents. And the results were often mediocre or scaled back by today's standards. All of a sudden dynamite started to get distributed all over the world and construction (so basically the foundation of modern society) shot through the roof and so did the workers' safety compared to before. It was all due to dynamite. It wasn't used in wars and conflicts first and foremost. It was more than anything used to better lives and living conditions through out the world. The Panama Canal is often cited as an example of this. This enormous construction was riddled with accidents, delays, set backs and not to mention hordes of people killed in especially explosive accidents. It was even up for consideration to abandon the project but dynamite changed all of that and the story was virtually the same all over the world. So thank you, Alfred. Not shame on you. His invention quite literally changed the physical world into what we live in today (unless you live in an untouched forest etc.) and much of the possibilities within it. Whether people think it was for the better or worse, just about none of them would want to leave this world for the one that would have been without dynamite.
Alfred Nobel also made a lot of money from military applications, that's why he created the Nobel price to counter act the bad things he had done. It was inspired by an accidental premature publication of an obituary that talked about what he had done.
The person with the big network of match stick factories all over the world, Ivar Kreuger, is interesting. He lended money without interest and in return got monopoly on match sticks in the country he lended money to. Died under mysterious circumstances, and his imeperium with matches, iron ore, telecom, ball bearing , real estate and much more were swiftly deemed insolvent, and competitors bought the companies for penny on the dollar.
An increase of 1 degree Celsius is 1.8 Fahrenheit but Celsius and Kelvin follows the same scale, but Kelvin's 0 (absolute 0) is -273.15 Celsius. Converting between Celsius and Kelvin is really easy because of that.
Hahaha We can not put our meat outside. Winter in Sweden does get cold - up North - but more than half Sweden does not get any cold or snow at all, during the hole year. We definately need our refrigerators
How would the world developed without the stable explosive called dynamite? How on Earth would e.g. all the railways and infrastructure been developed? Just to mention one important area.
Shure it can be cold in Sweden but from May to like October we have between 10°c and 25°c in the South and our country are pretty big country so the temperatures can be like 20°c in the south and 0°c in the north at the same time. So we need refrigerators to. And i live in the South in a city called Malmö we almost never have any snow and when we have it, it melts away in a day or two. But in the far north they have snow for like 6 months. So to say that Sweden are a cold country is to simplify things.
Alfred Nobel bought Bofors cannon factory and made a fortune producing smokeless gunpowder. This is most likely what made him regret his life choices and create the Nobel Prize.
And we can thank a Swedish inventor for the Soda he discovered carbonation We also invented the Ball baring and that we use in almost all machines from Robots to cars. The Tetra pack you know the thing they put milk and yoghurt in. Titanium inplantas are Swedish to. The technology behind Dialysis machines. The Blow torth The technology behind Ultrasound The Dry milk and this has saved life...and the list goes on and on...
Just to point out, it's only during the winter it's cold. Couple of years ago I had, in my actual apartment, 30 C heat and around 80% humidity which is literally subtropical, like it's at the very upper edge of what my snakes should have. If I had put something on the pavement outside it woulda been cooked 😐😂
You skipped over the first part he said about Nobel. People were already exploding things with black powder and nitroglycerine etc. but those things could be pretty volatile so the invention of dynamite was simply a way to make explosives more safe to handle. So it was another in the line of safety inventions.
It's not just the Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and that got sometimes use for bad things, he made quite a lot of explosive inventions and being an expert on them he made and sold quite a lot of military products. Several of his companies are still around like Bofors and Dynamite Nobel Defence. Although he didn't found Bofors, just owned it for a while and contributed to what it became.
He explains it, dynamite was made to be a more secure explosive, at the time the explosives used often had bad results for the user. And yes it was also used mainly to build. like tunnels and stuff. so yes it was a wonderful thing to be made, prob saved alot of lifes.
Thanks to Nobel as a dynamite inventor,he saved alot of miners. Nitroclyserine was higly unstable. Wrong footing and boom. Dynamite u can hit with a hammer and just flattened bar. Nitroclyserine was in liquid form
Cold country....I just registered 80,6 F, here today. But yeah, in the winter I could probably put my food on my veranda, until the animals comes and get it all😅
GPS was invented by the Mathematician Gladys West she was working for Naval Support Facility Dhalgren USA. Her invention was used to use satellite to calculate the earths surface.
Mått Johansson must be in the top ten. Making his precise ground gauge blocks at home on a converted sewing machine. Without him there would be no mass production of cars for example.
3:36 "One of the coldest countries in the world" is something of a stretch though. Half of Sweden can have about six months of pretty warm weather per year, making food like milk of meat go bad quickly. So Sweden is not like Siberia (not even the northern tip). Half of Sweden has milder winters than (say) Hungary or parts of the USA. I.e. inland climates.
Apropos to the seat belt.. Now the American invention of making the semiconductor switch, the transistor ALSO was given to all humans to use for free...and that made up for a bit of the horrors the bombs over Japan brought is some way.. I know the bombs ended all other horror so its not to criticise.. But because the Japanese electro engineers used its posibillities to the fullest and Japan got to be a wealthy country by that alone. Nice work!
Nobel CREATED the Nobel price because he was plauged with emence guilt for what his invention (that was intended to make explotions safe for miners or other building workers), was instead develloped to use to kill inocent people. His hope was that the price would make up for this horrible misstake, and would hopefully go to people fighting for a better future.
Dynamite is a peaceful tool. It was made to better and safer use black powder in mining a to build roads. I mean, cars are an invention to and can be leathal, if I want it to be
Swedes didn't invent matches - there were matches before. We invented the safety-matches - the ones that you can only ignite if used in a certain way. The old ones you could ignite by a lot of means (including the Westerns - by brushing along your boots). If I'm not mistaken, the old ones even self-ignited. It's kind of a Swedish theme - we do "safety"-anything. Like dynamite - that the main idea is that it is safe for transport. Nitroglycerine is very unstable and people died transporting it.

What about the multi-row self-aligning ball-bearing? Sven Gustaf Wingquist, 1907
The fridge was invented so that we could have cold houses during the summer, it was to hot at 25C, 5C is a more Swedish summer temp.😊
What i don´t understand is why people always leave John Ericsson out when he invented the ship propeller
Because it is highly disputed whether or not he really was first to invent it.

1.Gustav Duglas. the axial highpresure compressor. ( Franck Whittle and Otto von Hein make the axial compressor. )
2. Förslagslådan, "Inovation box" that is even not get as patenth. As old member of daffo (Denmark.) Within Sweden do i say there lov level within the company, and openminded to take ( not adwange but inspiration from customor and specialy ther own employer. LEAN hava a lack of the 8 muda ! )
Swish. That is also a good swedish innovation.
Ball bearings. Year 2020+ they continue there innovation.
Lower friction by 10+%.
Longer actionsradius, lower fuel and polution, lower maintaince.
Well, the seat belt story isn't all true. An american actually invented it but not a single car manufacturer in the U.S. was interested in it. Nils Bolin then took his idea and refined it and Volvo started using it in their vehicles. The only thing Sweden and Volvo can take credit for regarding this is to actually make it a standard feature in cars.
And yes, I'm Swedish.
I'll give you a half right on that.
It's true that Griswold and de Haven made a three point seatbelt, which was granted patent no. US2710649A in 1955 (filed for in 1951).
Compared to Bohlin's seatbelt it was only thought through halfway.
The lap part was split up into two parts, whereof one was attached to the shoulder - chest strap where half the buckle was. The other part of the lap strap was to be buckled with that.
The short single piece of the lap strap ended on the hip. A huge buckle right on the hip bone... Nothing I would like to have.
The other part of the lap strap was adjustable, with a sliding buckle. With a little bit of "luck" that could end up on your other hip bone.
The shoulder - chest strap was attached either in the seat or in the floor behind the seat, also adjustable with a sliding buckle.
I guess they tried to get the shoulder - chest strap as much as possible in the middle of the body. Like an upside down Y.
Simply, the human being is a lazy creature, two straps to adjust is two to many, but we can, if motivated, settle with one.
The position of the buckle was not in the ultimate spot.
At first sight it looked a lot like Bohlin's, but the differences, in both construction and how it works are significant. For instance, Bohlin's belt is V-shaped, a slightly leaning V, pointed downwards, at the middle between the seats.
(World patent no. US3043625A, granted 1962-07-10 (7 October?), filed for in 1959)
To place the buckle at the end of the lap strap part, attaching near the floor, and have the same strap continued over the chest and shoulder, running freely, attached in the frame of the car, at the floor, and high up, where the back of the seat ended, at the side of the car makes the seatbelt both comfortable and safe to wear.
It was easier to adjust; only one place.
I couldn't find any really good pictures showing this, not even Bohlin's own sketch is crystal clear on that.
I don't remember exactly, and my memory only stretches back to around 1970, but I recall two types of adjusting. One with a sliding buckle over the lap, and one with a sliding buckle over the chest, but I can't take an oath on either.
In hindsight, my personal thought is that it gives a lot more length to play with, having it at the top of the shoulder strap.
However, the disadvantage of these belts was that they more often were partly outside of the car when you closed the door, than inside 😅. The roller belt behaves better in this matter, but isn't flawless.
Also, Swedish Hans Karlsson invented the self retracting, self locking seatbelt (rullbälte). (Filed for patent in 1963, in 1969 he was granted the Swedish patent no. SE311831B)
Dynamite: road- and railway building, mining, etc. It´s not a weapon.
Also never forget Aina Wifalk, inventor of the RULLATOR!!🇸🇪
He forgot the "ball bearings" that was invented by the Swede Sven Wingquist 1907
The Swedes invented the safety matches and for some time they made an absolute ton of money for them. Nowadays everybody manufactures those, but Swedish match companies make some money from mainly domestic sales. In the time when the main way of making fire involved the the non-safety matches which were somewhat liable to self igniting if just jostled about hader than jogging with a pack of them in one's pocket, the safety ones which absolutely require scratching against the striking surface were a great development. The modern one can be aggravatingly hard to light if the striking surfaces are worn down, but lighters have been invented.
Dynamite was used in mines and also in farming for breaking big stones for example in the making of clear land for railways and also by farmers to clear new fields for farms.
Zippers are not always safe for young boys. They can acctually hurt. I did however never make the same mistake twice. 😅
...and the ultrasound...was an ok one... 🙂
I love the way he says "refrigerators"
It was a Swede that developed the iconic Coca Cola bottle. A Swede developed the American Indian motorcycle. A Swede developed The Bronx district in New York. Johan Bronck=Bronx
Hello from Sweden! You just got yourself a new subscriber.
Dynamite was much safer than nitroglycerine. Again...safety :)
You released this video on my birthday
Bluetooth is also a Swedish invention. We have invented so many things

As i have heard the explosives before dynamite was that it accidently could explode from small mistakes or bumps, dynamite could be hit with a sledgehammer and it would not go off
Dynamite was only used for mining. However, the problem with dynamite is that it only keep 50% of the power of Nitroglycerin (the base of dynamite) so in 1875, he made Gelatinite or "Blasting Jelly" which is still used today in tunneling. It keeps approx. 80% of the power of Nitroglycerin but still remain safe.
Wood stove with high burning chamber with door and primary and secondary air inlets and heat exchange channels on sides and a lot bricks or stone was also a Swedish invention.
The army needed before that so much wood for heating that it demanded too much labour and forest to be cut. The efficiency improvement was more than ten fold compared to open fireplace with direct open chimney.
side note sweden is a country that is both in north with snow and a its southern part closer to denmark with more coastal mild weather.
det där jävla bältet har räddat mig fem gånger😂😂😂
I LOVE your reflections on Sweden! ❤
Baltzar Von Platen has a statue close to me at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, wonderful area to walk around amazing buildings and statues at their campus
There was a fun commercial used in US many years ago , "Nothing sucks like Electrolux" 😛
Platens grave is 10min away from my apartment that i rent from Platen. He lead the handdiging canal project that connects Stockholm and Gothenburg
Dynamite was mainly invented for the mining industry. Ironically, invented to safely explode tunnels etc.
The original vid missed out on some pretty significant inventions. I.e. ballbearings, styrofoam, Bluetooth, respirator, tetra pac packaging, propeller, lightweight concrete, AGA lighthouse, kerosene stove, pipe wrench, harvester, fork binders and so on.
Dynamite has led to far more good than bad and pretty much laid the foundation to all of modern construction work. Before dynamite things like mining and especially construction went very slowly and involved a lot more work, set backs and accidents. And the results were often mediocre or scaled back by today's standards. All of a sudden dynamite started to get distributed all over the world and construction (so basically the foundation of modern society) shot through the roof and so did the workers' safety compared to before. It was all due to dynamite. It wasn't used in wars and conflicts first and foremost. It was more than anything used to better lives and living conditions through out the world.
The Panama Canal is often cited as an example of this. This enormous construction was riddled with accidents, delays, set backs and not to mention hordes of people killed in especially explosive accidents. It was even up for consideration to abandon the project but dynamite changed all of that and the story was virtually the same all over the world.
So thank you, Alfred. Not shame on you. His invention quite literally changed the physical world into what we live in today (unless you live in an untouched forest etc.) and much of the possibilities within it. Whether people think it was for the better or worse, just about none of them would want to leave this world for the one that would have been without dynamite.
Alfred Nobel also made a lot of money from military applications, that's why he created the Nobel price to counter act the bad things he had done. It was inspired by an accidental premature publication of an obituary that talked about what he had done.
The person with the big network of match stick factories all over the world, Ivar Kreuger, is interesting.
He lended money without interest and in return got monopoly on match sticks in the country he lended money to.
Died under mysterious circumstances, and his imeperium with matches, iron ore, telecom, ball bearing , real estate and much more were swiftly deemed insolvent, and competitors bought the companies for penny on the dollar.
It's a cold country, but also a warm one, since we have so much sun in the summers, it's now 21:30 and it's 25 C
An increase of 1 degree Celsius is 1.8 Fahrenheit but Celsius and Kelvin follows the same scale, but Kelvin's 0 (absolute 0) is -273.15 Celsius. Converting between Celsius and Kelvin is really easy because of that.
""it was invented blow up buildings but then it goes into the wrong hands and is used to blow up buildings"
17:22 😅
Swedish people is very clever.
Hahaha We can not put our meat outside. Winter in Sweden does get cold - up North - but more than half Sweden does not get any cold or snow at all, during the hole year. We definately need our refrigerators
How would the world developed without the stable explosive called dynamite? How on Earth would e.g. all the railways and infrastructure been developed? Just to mention one important area.
Shure it can be cold in Sweden but from May to like October we have between 10°c and 25°c in the South and our country are pretty big country so the temperatures can be like 20°c in the south and 0°c in the north at the same time. So we need refrigerators to. And i live in the South in a city called Malmö we almost never have any snow and when we have it, it melts away in a day or two. But in the far north they have snow for like 6 months. So to say that Sweden are a cold country is to simplify things.
Alfred Nobel bought Bofors cannon factory and made a fortune producing smokeless gunpowder. This is most likely what made him regret his life choices and create the Nobel Prize.
And we can thank a Swedish inventor for the Soda he discovered carbonation
We also invented the Ball baring and that we use in almost all machines from Robots to cars.
The Tetra pack you know the thing they put milk and yoghurt in. Titanium inplantas are Swedish to.
The technology behind Dialysis machines.
The Blow torth
The technology behind Ultrasound
The Dry milk and this has saved life...and the list goes on and on...
AAAAAAND alot more.. John Ericsson is another great inventor from Sweden.
my grandfather was one of the poeple that created the seatbelts
the Nobel Peace Prize is only one of many awards of the Nobel Foundation.
Just to point out, it's only during the winter it's cold.
Couple of years ago I had, in my actual apartment, 30 C heat and around 80% humidity which is literally subtropical, like it's at the very upper edge of what my snakes should have.
If I had put something on the pavement outside it woulda been cooked 😐😂
You skipped over the first part he said about Nobel. People were already exploding things with black powder and nitroglycerine etc. but those things could be pretty volatile so the invention of dynamite was simply a way to make explosives more safe to handle. So it was another in the line of safety inventions.
If the three-point seathbelt was invented in the US.. Oh my that monopoly
Norwegian inventions: Jet engine (gas turbine), cheese-slicer, handgranade, spraycan, harpoon, bottle-return-system, landmine, outboard engine (boat), X-bow boats, Fertilizer, AVR chip, Protector RWS, Condeep-platform, Rescue Anne, Rottefella (skii bindings), Hugin AUV, Black Hornet, NASAMS defense system, Leca-blocks + +
And sheep farming 👍
Håkan Lans is assumed to have invented computer graphics, the computer mouse and a similar system to GPS, that never was adopted due to many reasons
we sweds made stuff go BOOOOOM
Love your videos Dwayne, cheers from Stockholm.
It's not just the Alfred Nobel invented dynamite and that got sometimes use for bad things, he made quite a lot of explosive inventions and being an expert on them he made and sold quite a lot of military products. Several of his companies are still around like Bofors and Dynamite Nobel Defence. Although he didn't found Bofors, just owned it for a while and contributed to what it became.
Alfred nobel wanted the dynamite for the mines.
The Dynamite is a "Safe" explosive compared to randomly mixing the ingridients, so yes its a good and safer invention for sure.
we had 2 Baltazar von Platen. one who invented refridgerator. and the other one made the swedish canal Göta Kanal.
He has forgotten an invention that I think almost everyone uses, the Tetra Brik, invented by the Swede Ruben Rausing
3:30 well yeah in mid winter but summers are hot as hell 😂
Dynamite is used for blowing up rocks obstructing construction sites f. eg.
He explains it, dynamite was made to be a more secure explosive, at the time the explosives used often had bad results for the user. And yes it was also used mainly to build. like tunnels and stuff. so yes it was a wonderful thing to be made, prob saved alot of lifes.
Thanks to Nobel as a dynamite inventor,he saved alot of miners. Nitroclyserine was higly unstable. Wrong footing and boom. Dynamite u can hit with a hammer and just flattened bar. Nitroclyserine was in liquid form
Cold country....I just registered 80,6 F, here today. But yeah, in the winter I could probably put my food on my veranda, until the animals comes and
get it all😅
Why in the weird F-scale? The world uses Celsius lol
GPS was invented by the Mathematician Gladys West she was working for Naval Support Facility Dhalgren USA. Her invention was used to use satellite to calculate the earths surface.
Yes but the first public use GPS is a swedish invention
@@Odadian No Håkan Lans invented the kommunikation method STDMA, that's used in i AIS and VDL Mode 4 for Sea and also Air.
Weird to pick the candy cane over the propeller.
According to Nobel Prize:
99% are NOT going to inventors, mostly to R&D academic institutions professors!
Volvos decision to make it free is also kinda Swedish
Mått Johansson must be in the top ten.
Making his precise ground gauge blocks at home on a converted sewing machine.
Without him there would be no mass production of cars for example.
I hadn't seen that clip. Thanks for reacting 😊
What a sweet guy 👏👏
hot or smart country ;P the zipper model is how we go from 2 lane to 1 lane roads at trafic stops too ;P left>right>left>right..
If I remember correctly the story about the false obituary for Alfred Nobel is apocryphal and has not been substantiated.
As a Swede, I knew about the pacemaker and dynamite, but the rest I reacted as much as you.
I thank Alan Turing for the Bombe invention that decipher the allegedly impossible Enigma cipher.
I'm swedish- the refrigerator I did NOT know
3:36 "One of the coldest countries in the world" is something of a stretch though. Half of Sweden can have about six months of pretty warm weather per year, making food like milk of meat go bad quickly. So Sweden is not like Siberia (not even the northern tip). Half of Sweden has milder winters than (say) Hungary or parts of the USA. I.e. inland climates.
True because most of the people live in Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö and those are not very far north
You have potential to become very big just trust the process trust me
Apropos to the seat belt..
Now the American invention of making the semiconductor switch, the transistor ALSO was given to all humans to use for free...and that made up for a bit of the horrors the bombs over Japan brought is some way..
I know the bombs ended all other horror so its not to criticise..
But because the Japanese electro engineers used its posibillities to the fullest and Japan got to be a wealthy country by that alone.
Nice work!
Nobel CREATED the Nobel price because he was plauged with emence guilt for what his invention (that was intended to make explotions safe for miners or other building workers), was instead develloped to use to kill inocent people. His hope was that the price would make up for this horrible misstake, and would hopefully go to people fighting for a better future.
Lans also invented color graphics for computers.
Dynamite is a peaceful tool. It was made to better and safer use black powder in mining a to build roads. I mean, cars are an invention to and can be leathal, if I want it to be
Swedes didn't invent matches - there were matches before. We invented the safety-matches - the ones that you can only ignite if used in a certain way. The old ones you could ignite by a lot of means (including the Westerns - by brushing along your boots). If I'm not mistaken, the old ones even self-ignited.
It's kind of a Swedish theme - we do "safety"-anything. Like dynamite - that the main idea is that it is safe for transport. Nitroglycerine is very unstable and people died transporting it.
As they said in the video
i am proud to be swedish
