Four Teenage Nigerian School Girls Invent Urine-Powered Generator



Duro-Aina Adebola, 14, Akindele Abiola, 14 and Faleke Oluwatoyin, 14, together with 15-year-old Bello Eniola showcased their brilliant innovation at this year's Maker Faire Africa held in Lagos, Nigeria.

More when you continue...
The system works by pouring urine into an electrolytic cell to separate the hydrogen. The filtered hydrogen is then passed into a water filter for purification after which it is then be pushed into a gas cylinder. The gas cylinder pushes hydrogen into a cylinder of liquid borax in order to remove the moisture. Lastly, the purified hydrogen gas is then channelled into the generator to provide power to the bulb.

The girls claim that as little as one litre of urine is enough to power the generator for six straight hours. Not a bad source of electricity at all!
The urine-powered generator could prove to be useful in some parts of Africa, where power supply is erratic.
This is highly commendable. Keep it up girls!

  6. I think what you typed made a ton of sense. But,
    what about this? suppose you added a little information?
    I ain't saying your information is not good, but suppose you added a title that makes people desire more? I mean "Four Teenage Nigerian School Girls Invent Urine-Powered Generator" is a little plain. You should glance at Yahoo's front page and note how they create article headlines to grab viewers to click.
    You might add a video or a related pic or two
    to get people interested about what you've written. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
