    Worth remembering, about the 3 point seatbelt, is that the inventor worked for Volvo. The CEO of Volvo, recognising the importance of this as a life saving device (and I believe having lost someone in a car accident without seatbelts) gifted access to this patent to ALL other car manufacturers. They could have made a fortune by charging for it but put lives above money. I was expecting dynamite to be included in this, as it was invented by Alfred Nobel, the man whose name is used for high ranking prizes in multiple industries. ❤

      Some things are still specified in inches here in Sweden as well though. But it’s mostly because it’s products that were produced in countries who use the imperial system, so it made it a lot easier to just keep the inch measurements than to convert it into centimeters with decimals. Like an 18 inch tire makes more sense than a 45.75 cm tire. If it was founded in the metric system they would probably have made it a 45 cm tire.

      GPS was actually developed by the American Department of Defense, however, another positioning positioning system called AIS (Automatic Identification System) is based on a technology (STDMA) developed by Swedish inventor Håkan Lans. AIS is used by ships and airplane, for them to automatically identify other ships/planes.
      Worth noting is the Lans also invented the graphic processing technology that enabled the use of color graphic, as well as a precursor to the computer mouse with the patent "Arrangement for producing a pattern on a light-sensitive surface".

    The two I wouldn't exclusively give Sweden are the safety matches - they invented a manufacturing process I believe - and flat screens because that was one small step on a long list of necessary inventions that made it possible.
    There were lots of other ones missed though.. here are a few samples:
    - Spotify
    - Dynamite. The inventor Alfred Nobel was distressed by the misuse of his invention so he instituted the Nobel Price so his fortune was used to further science and culture.
    - Plant and animal taxonomy. In 1761 Carl Linnaeus (Carl von Linné) invented the naming scheme used for organisms globally to this day.
    - Mobile phones. The science behind mobile phones was developed by many inventors globally but the first commercially successful implementation was NMT (Nordic Mobile Telephone) or 1G that was developed by Swedish company Ericsson and was introduced in all of Scandinavia in 1981 & 1982.

    Being one of those beautiful people (at least according to my wife) I'm going to have to like this video.
    Oh and also, that invention from Bohr about the seatbelt, he realised how many lives it could save so he did NOT patent it. It was free for anyone to use. There is a lot of that in history and idiots making small changes to it that saves more lives but only for those that can afford it.
    Those people needs to learn what a guillotine is and how it might be used if they keep doing that.

    The worlds first automatic mobile network was actually invented in Sweden back in December of 1951 by a Swede called Sture Lauhrén and the first mobile phone call was from his car on the 3rd of the December 1951 to a landline. The worlds first mobile network that covered more than one country was NMT (Nordic Mobile Telecommunications) back in 1981. It was invented in 1969 however it took several years to integrated it to the Nordic countries different automated phone systems.

    John Ericsson and the USS Monitor: A Maritime Revolution
    John Ericsson, a renowned engineer and inventor, made significant contributions to the development of the propeller and naval warfare. His most famous creation, the USS Monitor, was a revolutionary ironclad warship that played a crucial role in the American Civil War.
    Before Ericsson, while the concept of a rotating device to propel ships existed, it was Ericsson who developed a practical and efficient propeller design. His innovation involved replacing the traditional "goose-foot" propeller with a more streamlined design featuring blades mounted in a ring, greatly improving the propeller's performance.

    13:50 A man named Ivar Kreuger had a large company, that worldwide made and sold matches. He lended money to countries, with no interest, but in exchange for monopoly on matches. He died under mysterious circumstances, and his imperium consisting of building technology, real estate, iron ore, telecom, ball bearings and much more were valued to almost nothing. Competitors bought at pennys on the dollar

    What was not mentioned in the video you watched is the graphics of computer games and computer games. It is in Sweden that you invent the 3D on computer games and then improve the graphics, so thank Sweden that today's computer game graphics look so realistic. As well as Sweden, it is the country that develops computer games and it is to Sweden that people go to train as computer and game programmers and developers.
    So thanks to Sweden, you can now use the computer to make scenes for movies, such as for Matrix, King Kong and more.
    What they don't mention that Sweden invented is the dynamite that Alfred Nobel invented.
    More Swedish inventions:
    Anna Borgström - Refrigeration technology. for refrigerators and freezers.
    Barbro Hjalmarsson - The Sink and the Cradle of Blood Triomix
    Birgit Johansson - The buoy ring and the fairway marker
    Björn Jakobson - The baby carrier for carrying children in your arms safely.
    Johan Petter "JP" Johansson (1853-1943) opened a mechanical workshop in Enköping in 1886. There he invented two tools that have become very important: the adjustable pipe wrench (patented in 1888) and the wrench (patented in 1891 and 1892)
    Electric hearing aid, 1901.
    Diode (electron tube), 1904.
    Gyro compass, 1905.
    "Mått-Johansson's" measuring set, 1901.
    In the early 2000s, two Swedish innovators invented the first gesture- and swipe-controlled mobile interface, the one that would later be called "swipe" and used daily by billions of users worldwide
    Then we have:
    Tetra Pak
    Lightweight concrete
    Spherical ball bearing
    Lidocaine The chemical substance lidocaine was discovered in 1946 by Nils Löfgren and Bengt Lundqvist.[5] Astra then handled sales under the name Xylocain - an effective anesthetic for, among other things, the oral cavity.
    The separator Inventor Gustaf de Laval apparently thought things would go quickly and did not have time for the then method of separating the cream from the milk. It involved waiting until the cream floats to the surface. Instead, he invented a separator - a spinning cylinder where the heavier milk is pushed out towards the sides and the cream stays in the middle, to then be emptied into each outlet pipe.
    The propeller John Ericsson was the first who - at the same time as the Englishman Francis Pettit Smith - designed a boat that was effectively powered by a propeller.] Both exhibited their boats in 1830s England. John Ericsson later designed the famous battleship USS Monitor which participated in the American Civil War.
    The walker Aina Wifalk was affected by Polio as a young person and had difficulty walking for the rest of her life. When she wore out her shoulders from walking with canes, she solved the problem herself by inventing a walker (or walker) in 1978. We think the walker deserves the place as the next best Swedish invention, considering how much easier it has made life for so many elderly people.
    These are some of the inventions Sweden is behind.

    Highly flammable and toxic.
    In 1831 the phosphor match is invented. The phosphor match can be lit by pulling it against any surface. The problem is that the yellow phosphorus used is toxic and extremely flammable. The risk of accidents is high and therefore the phosphorus match must be used with care.
