      The pacemaker was actually invented in Canada by John Hopps in 1949 but not very practical for use in humans until a decade later. In 1950 it was a boxy item with wires inserted via a catheter to the heart capable of both defibrillating and pacing the heart rhythm. Sweden developed the first "implantable' battery run pacemaker.

      And I know Natasha was probably joking when she said we didn't know that but lots of people in Europe knew it was introduced (and made patent-free) by Volvo. Probably a lot of USA's car nuts - what we call petrolhead - knew it too.

    Every list I've seen of Swedish inventions misses a really important one, the "rollator". It's basically what americans know as a "walker" but with wheels. A Swedish woman named Aina Wifalk suffered from polio so she built herself a rollator to get around easier. Today it has given my 80 year old father his freedom back. It's much better for old people to keep active, and this gives them the support they need while they can still walk around, instead of remaining seated in a scooter.

      My 85 year old mother got one, at first mostly because she'd gotten a bit worried about the icy pavements in the winter, and for it being practical when bringing home grocery etc. Then she "managed" ("I don't need one of these..". Similar to "I don't need any hearing aid." Lol) to get my same aged dad to get such a vehichle as well. Whithout it I doubt he would get out of their appartment as much as he actually does now. And if one gets tired (like my dad qjuickly does these days), you can rest on it as well due to its clever construction.

    Here's an invention you won't hear about on any CZcams video. My great grandfather Douglas Andrew Billany (1865 - 1918) was half English and half Swedish and born here in England. He invented _Stocks and Dies_ which was patented in 1902. It cuts threads on iron rods etc. In other words, it turns iron rods into screws, bolts etc. His second eldest son, Walter Billany (1891 - 1968) took the patent to the USA when he emigrated in 1915 and the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, Michigan was the first to use it. My great uncle Walter became an American citizen in 1922 and originally worked for Ford and his descendants still live in the USA inc. Juliette Van Otteren who is a renowned photographer whose name appears in the Who's Who of American women. She's a blue eyed blonde like her Swedish ancestors.
    So there's another connection between Sweden 🇸🇪, the UK 🇬🇧 and the USA. 🇺🇲

    As others have mentioned, Swedish-American (one of the many Swedes who emigrated to America in the 1800s) John Ericsson invented the propeller. He aldo constructed the USS Monitor, famous from the civil war.
    Fun Volvo fact. When American Irv Gordon in 1966 picked up his brand new Volvo P1800 at the dealership he fell in love with it so completely that he just couldn't stop driving it. When he passed away in 2018 he had driven it 3.2 million miles, and obliterated all sorts of car mileage records. There is no stopping a Volvo!

I especially recommend reacting to the songs "Du måste finnas" by Helen Sjöholm, and "Guldet blev till Sand" by Peter Jöback.

    Two other Swedish inventors who I think fit very well among the others are Carl Linnæus and Johan (John) Ericsson.
    Linnæus was the author of the "Systema Naturæ", the system of description and classification of plants and animals that is still used today.
    You have probably heard of Johan Ericsson, but didn't know that he was was a Swedish naval captain and engineer. He is usually considered the inventor of the first working propeller. He was also the man behind the gunboat Monitor with its rotating cannon tower which fought the Confederates Merrimack in the battle of Hampton Roads during the Civil War 💀🫣.

    Hi girls 👋❤️ maybe you should check out something that we use a lot in Sweden, it's called swish, it's a way that we send money to friends or pay with. It's so practical and easy. Have a great day! 🇸🇪🤗🤗

    • @Erriond
      @Erriond Před 6 měsíci

      "is used to treat end stage diabetes patients"?. You mean to treat kidney failure (which some Diabetics, like me got). But it's a none 'end stage' of life, and a lot of other people also get kidney failures.
      I have done dialysis for 1.5 year now and expect to get a new kidney before the summer. So please explain your later example in more details. But didn't know it was a a Swedish invention ;)

      @@Erriond Sounds great that you got the chance to get a new kidney, they are also working on artificial kidneys now.
      But that is what I know not something that is available yet.
      Sadly not very many patients that has end stage diabetes (no working kidneys) have the opportunity to actually get a donated one.
      And even for those who get it, the case of kidney failure of the donated one is not zero.
      So for most patients being connected to a dialysis machine until the end of their life is the sad reality for many.

    As I have been told, engineering genius Hellmuth Hertz was in an American war prisoner camp after ww2, but weren't allowed to stay in the US for political reasons. Niels Bohr (friends with Hellmuth's father, Gustav, Nobel laureate 1925) and some Swedish physicists snatched him up and were able to make sure that he could continue his education in Lund, Sweden, were he later became professor in electrical measurement technology.
    He was also involved in pioneering the inkjet printing technology

    A small note on Skype… as some may know, Microsoft for a while had 2 products called Skype and Skype for business. Contrary to the name they both were totally different products with different underpinnings. When Teams came out and saved everyone during the pandemic they scrapped Skype for business that was formerly known as Lync before Microsoft bought it and replaced the modern underpinnings with Skype technology! So Microsoft Teams is now built on the same Skype platform as today’s consumer Skype, with added corporate controls of course. But the base for todays Teams is original Skype 😊
