26-year-old Nigerian Without Engineering Certification Invented Water-powered Generator

A 26-year-old Nigerian man, Emeka Nelson, built a generator that operates mainly on water.

Nelson invented the water-powered generator despite lacking formal education or engineering certification.

The inventor said the generator has a maximum capacity of 1000 Watts and a voltage ranging between 220 and 240.

It also has the potential to challenge conventional power-generating methods in Nigeria.

He disclosed the generator has powered his 2-bedroom apartment in Awka, Anambra State.

The 26-year-old also said a litre of clean water can power the generator and supply energy for 6 hours.

The young innovator shared the good news during an interview video with BBC Africa last year.

He also added that he worked on the project for 16 years at the time of his interview with BBC.

Nelson said his invention is environmentally friendly and also addresses safety concerns associated with traditional gasoline generators.

Speaking about the passion behind the invention, he said he lost a friend at the age of 12 as a result of a generator fumes incident.

This drove him to work diligently until he developed an alternative to the use of gasoline generators. – VanguardNews
