dynamos

People with drive

Dynamos is the plural of dynamo—a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical current, or figuratively, a person with exceptional energy and drive.

The literal sense is now largely historical, replaced by generator: The factory's old dynamos have been converted to museum pieces.

The figurative use remains common: She's a dynamo who transformed the department in six months.
