"Dynamo" comes from a Greek word "dynamis" meaning force or power. Not
that the Ancient Greeks would have known the difference between AC and

electricity: they generated electricity by rubbing a piece of amber on a
cat.

Rubbing amber on a cat can also equal puncture wounds followed by a course of
intravenous antibiotics.
