Forrest North: The beginning of any collaboration

Forrest North: Begyndelsen på ethvert samarbejde

starts with a conversation.

starter med en samtale.

And I would like to share with you

Og jeg vil gerne dele med jer

some of the bits of the conversation that we started with.

nogle dele af den samtale som vi startede med.

I grew up in a log cabin in Washington state

Jeg voksede op i en bjælkehytte i staten Washington

with too much time on my hands.

med for megen fritid

Yves Behar: And in scenic Switzerland for me.

Yves Behar: Og jeg i det maleriske Schweiz.

FN: I always had a passion for alternative vehicles.

FN: Jeg har altid haft en lidenskab for alternative køretøjer.

This is a land yacht racing across the desert in Nevada.

Det her er en land-lystbåd, der suser gennem ørkenen i Nevada.

YB: Combination of windsurfing and skiing into this invention there.

YB: Kombinationen af vindsurfing og skiløb indgik i denne opfindelse.

FN: And I also had an interest in dangerous inventions.

FN: Jeg havde også en interesse for farlige opfindelser.

This is a 100,000-volt Tesla coil

Dette her er en 100.000-volt Tesla spole

that I built in my bedroom,

som jeg byggede på mit soveværelse,

much to the dismay of my mother.

til min mors store utilfredshed.

YB: To the dismay of my mother,

YB: Til stor utilfredshed for min mor

this is dangerous teenage fashion right there.

har vi farlig teenage mode lige her.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

FN: And I brought this all together,

FN: Og jeg bragte alt det her sammen,

this passion with alternative energy and raced a solar car across Australia --

denne lidenskab for alternativ energi. Og kørte en soldreven bil tværs over Australien.

also the U.S. and Japan.

Og gennem USA og Japan.

YB: So, wind power, solar power -- we had a lot to talk about.

YB: Så vindkraft, solkraft, vi havde meget at snakke om.

We had a lot that got us excited.

Vi havde meget, der begejstrede os.

So we decided to do a special project together.

Så vi besluttede at lave et særligt projekt sammen.

To combine engineering and design and ...

At kombinere ingeniørkunst og design og ...

FN: Really make a fully integrated product, something beautiful.

FN: Virkelig lave et helt integreret produkt, noget smukt.

YB: And we made a baby.

YB: Og vi fik et barn.

(Laughter)

(Latter)

FN: Can you bring out our baby?

FN: Vil du hente vores baby herud?

(Applause)

(Klapsalve)

This baby is fully electric.

Denne baby er fuldstændig elektrisk.

It goes 150 miles an hour.

Den kører ca. 241 km. (150 miles) i timen.

It's twice the range of any electric motorcycle.

Det er dobbelt så meget som nogen anden elektrisk motorcykel.

Really the exciting thing about a motorcycle

Det virkelig spændende ved en motorcykel

is just the beautiful integration of engineering and design.

er bare den smukke integrering af ingeniørkunst og design.

It's got an amazing user experience.

Den giver en fantastisk bruger-oplevelse.

It was wonderful working with Yves Behar.

Det har være pragtfuldt at arbejde med Yves Behar.

He came up with our name and logo. We're Mission Motors.

Han fandt på vores navn og logo. Vi er "Mission Motors".

And we've only got three minutes,

Og vi har kun tre minutter.

but we could talk about it for hours.

Men vi kunne tale om det i timevis

YB: Thank you.

YB: Mange tak.

FN: Thank you TED. And thank you Chris, for having us.

FN: Mange tak, TED. Og tak til dig Chris, for at have os på besøg
