A young Trouvé looks on!

On February 10th, biographer Kevin Desmond gave a talk about Gustave Trouvé at the Bordeaux International School, France. Imagine his delight to discover that one of the pupils was called Nathan Trouvé!

Here, Nathan Trouvé watches while Kevin opens up the electric defibrillator assembled by Gustave Trouvé 125 years before.

Unlike his namesake, Nathan wishes to become a top class tennis player but after this encounter, he may try to innovate a new design of tennis ball!
