Four female secondary students in Lagos have developed a urine powered generator. They are 14-year-old Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, Faleke Oluwatoyin and 15-year old Bello Eniola showcased their unique innovation at this year’s Maker Faire Africa held in Lagos, Nigeria.
According to Maker Faire Africa, an annual event which showcases inventions, 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.
1 Liter of urine gives you 6 hours of electricity.
Nice one. My question now is who supplies them the urine?
