Four Nigerian Girls Invent Urine Powered Generator




Possibly one of the more unexpected products at Maker Faire Africa this year in Lagos is a urine powered generator, created by four girls. The girls are Duro-Aina Adebola (14), Akindele Abiola (14), Faleke Oluwatoyin (14) and Bello Eniola (15).



1 Liter of urine gives you 6 hours of electricity.

The system works like this:

    Urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which separates out the hydrogen.
    The hydrogen goes into a water filter for purification, which then gets pushed into the gas cylinder.
    The gas cylinder pushes hydrogen into a cylinder of liquid borax, which is used to remove the moisture from the hydrogen gas.
    This purified hydrogen gas is pushed into the generator.

Along the whole way there are one-way valves for security, but let’s be honest that this is something of an explosive device…


I SAY NIGERIAN MADE AIRCRAFT IS COMING SOON.
