Other swedish inventions worth mentioning: . Dynamite - Alfred Nobel . The fridge . The propeller . The GPS/AIS . Color graphics (computer graphics) . The computer mouse . The adjustable wrench . Spotify . Bluetooth . The walking frame . Tetra Pak . Milk seperator . Measurment set . Space cameras . Gamma knife . Bow saw . Mecanum Wheel . Primus stove . Prilosec . Nicotine gum . The plastic bag . Vodka - Different varities originated in Russia, Poland and Sweden . Beacon lightning or the so called the Dalén light and the sun valve and AGA cooker . The System of Nature - Carl Von Linné

The computer mouse was invented by the american Douglas Engelbart, but the swede Håkan Lans was behind a digitzer board for computers, as well as the protocol STDMA that is used in AIS, a system for ship tracking, and the similar technique for air traffic. Håkan Lans was the guy behind the Color Graphics above.

@@zappa555 Now that I look closer into this and look who did what then the computer mouse was invented you are right. It was then evolved by several people of course. So the one who came up with the idea and invented the computer mouse was Douglas Engelbart but and also a Swiss guy aswell named René Sommer who was a co-inventor of the computor mouse. It appears that Apple worked on it too. I thought Håkan Lans was one of them who was involved in the computer mouse invention but it turned out to be fake. Now I know :)

lots more inventions that came out of sweden, the adjustable wrench, spotify, the fridge, games like minecraft, candy crunch, battle field.... and lots more.

Celcius: 0 is frozen, 100 is boiling - very complicated... (Yes I know it's over-simplyfied, but the principle).

[@CVTECK1]

Same as Fahrenheit really. Lower the numbers the colder it is.

[@Matildavux]

Celsius crash course: 0 = water freezes 100 = water boils

The Computor mouse

[@CVTECK1]

that's important

Carl Linnaeus a Swedish biologist and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms.

How about the propeller, the gun turret...

[@Jim_86]

3:30. The Celsius thermometer is way more logical than the Fahrenheit thermometer. 0°C = freezing point and 100°C = boiling point. It's way more logical to start counting temperatures from 0° than from 32°.

It would have been nice to live back when inventions like the phone in one piece were easy to come up with. Only drawback is we'd be dead by now and missing out on the internet. And now you want to play with matches! You're just a big kid at heart.

0 c will freeze water, 100 c will boil water. 36 -37 c is the norm for your body. It honestly takes 5 minutes to understand this system.

[@marklane58]

Hey, CV. Did you miss the method Celsius used inventing his scale? 100 degrees between water freezing and boiling. It is based on something real and relevant. Fahrenheit was based on 0 being the temperature to freeze brine and 100 being the temperature of the human body. Hard to see the connection and it's not right anyway. In Australia it took about 20 years to change from imperial to metric starting in the 70's. So oldies like me still know about the nightmare of imperial measurements.

[@bengtolsson5436]

Yes it's not so much about being different than sticking to stone age methods instead of modern better systems. We had such systems too. Until the 1800s.

The double screw boat propeller, (on the fighting boat in the American Civil war USS Princeton 1839)

[@ronnyhansson8713]

the "great" thing about Celsius is that is is so easly to convert into Kelvin (the scientific temperature scale) as each step is the same (kelvin just has a different starting point of absolute 0 at -272 C or so - and i know it is a "learn by live it" but if i get the infomation that today it is +3C outside i know it is nearly freezing (at 0C) and i need to dress warm and i have no clue how to read F in a glance (I know some 98 i body temperature)

Dynamite …. Invented by Alfred Nobel who found a way to stabilize the explosive and donated his entire fortune to the Nobel Prize given every year for advances for humanity.
