Four teenage
girls have in Lagos Nigeria have
invented a urine powered generator
at this year’s Maker Faire Africa.
The event shows off innovations,
inventions, and initiatives that solve
immediate challenges and problems,
and then works to support and
propagate them. The teenagers,
Duro-Aina Adebola ,14,
Akindele Abiola, 14,
Faleke Oluwatoyin ,14 and Bello
Eniola, 15, had one of the most
interesting inventions at the fair which
took place from Monday November ,
5 to Tuesday November, 6 in Lagos.
Here’s how it works:
•Urine is put into an electrolytic cell,
which cracks the urea into nitrogen,
water, and 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.
•1 Liter of urine gives you 6 hours of
electricity
We are so close to cars powered by
water.
