(And with a name like Jens Åström, he should be researching hydropower.)
- mellavora 4y agohint: Å is the Swedish word for a stream/small river. translating ström is left as an exercise for the curious.
- simonebrunozzi 4y agoSpoiler alert! ... I'd have guessed ström = stream. Seems like I'm right, more or less.

- Ma8ee 4y agoNot only stream but current.
- gruturo 4y agoYou're right, but it also means current, and that meaning is often used (in German too) to refer to electricity, which I imagine is what OP had in mind. It's indeed a perfect surname for researching / working on hydro power.
- brnt 4y agoThere are two rivers (creeks?) called Aa in the Netherlands. We don't have Aa or A in our dictonairy but now I wonder if there's a shared root somewhere.

- fastball 4y agoI was really hoping for a video of what this actually looks like when the turbine is moving.
