Meet Bjarne
The hydropower nerd
Water is kind of a perpetual motion machine!
Bjarne Tufte
Hydropower expert - and a big fan of water
To Bjarne, water is not just something we drink. It’s a never-ending source of energy that keeps on going even when the sun isn’t shining, and the wind isn’t blowing. In his daily work with hydropower plants, his most trusted friend is the high-voltage fuse, which he refers to as “the safety guard of the hydropower plant”.
Watch the video to learn more about the superpowers of water, and find out how Bjarne managed to create a power outage in an entire city.
INGENØRD [enɕəˈnɶɐ̯ˀd]: An honorary title for people who enjoy immersing themselves in professional or personal passions, a trait that can generate a never-ending train of thought or result in constant attempts to discover connections and solve problems – which often leads to heated conversations with other 'ingenørds'. Often, but not necessarily, they have a degree in engineering.
