in as much I respect the courage and enthusiasm displayed by such a student.... I would like to state that , going forward regards to technology advancements and innovations, it would nice embarking on sustainable ventures or projects. There have been many claims or discovery of inventions such as aircraft, urine powered generators , this and that.... all these somewhat seem not to be meeting the needs of what is required. - Where are we as a country starting from? ... what can we actually boast of producing today? copying some futuristic innovations cant help out. - The basics need be revisited.... e.g, Nigeria is known to produce better copper wires even though copper seem to be out of today's world of science, I suggest we start from there, latch on it and get its best... - look around, every nook and crannies of naija household, for sure you would find a generator, at least I pass my neighbor... to imagine the millions imported into this country. - starting with such little things, and consolidating on it would help a long way. - We have good wood industry here, but imagine what is imported into the country this kinda of putting carts before horses seem to cut across every facets of Naija system. .... lets think about it.. 2 Likes |

AjanleKoko: There's nothing wrong in trying your hands at something or testing your understanding, but not when it's done at the expense of things of real importance. What kind of person channels all he's got into a pet project? The guy put in all his money & also got more from his parents to put into that thing. Is that a judicious use of his resources. I guess the guy isn't aware of the issues you highlighted in your second paragraph, in his mind he probably thinks he's created something innovative, perhaps he needs to acquaint himself with basic reality first. Look I'm all for creativity & ingenuity but at the same time, I'm all for common sense. That guy looks like he could really use some money, he shouldn't be wasting what he's got on things which serve him no immediate purpose. 2 Likes |

What I don't like about these innovations is that they make very little effort to give it any aesthetic appeal. I mean, just because it is a prototype does not mean you cannot invest a little time and effort to make it look appealing with some decent finishing. The dude could and should have found a way to cover those wheels for instance. 1 Like |

all4naija: That is a Beetle car built by a Germany car company. The title of the thread is misleading. Abi oooo Built a solar powered car Did he build or design the body ? No The seats and upholstery? No The electrical and lighting? No Ok the gear box and Chasis of the car? no Ok lets move to the power unit (PU) did he build the engine? NO The Battery? no but he provided a substitute for the battery OH common!!! 1 Like |

AjanleKoko: Bro, I hope you are not a crusader of those blaming the president of the country if a car hits someone on the highway just below a pedestrian flyover or blame the president because she didnt give birth to a female child she has been wanting to have? .. read what I wrote there with an open mind pls. |
Re: Nigerian Student Builds Solar-powered Car by jpphilips(m): 2:38pm On Jul 18, 2014 |
AjanleKoko: When you don't understand a post, you ask questions it is your right. what the young man you quoted said is called comparative advantage and his examples are so on point. let me buttress further on it. Since Nigeria is already making the best copper cables in the country, someone can come up with an Idea to use Nigeria cables to make alternators, such innovation will open a flood gate of inventions. It will equally be easier for the Govt to help such a person, It is not enough to design a funny looking solar car with zero economic importance to the populace and run around asking for money to either get stuck at some point or disappear out rightly. The point is this, when you can use a Nigerian cable to round a coil, all the fans in Nigeria (can you guess how many?) will be relying on you, Generators etc, the Govt seeing your capacity can ban those components as spare parts from coming in, companies will come to you to ensure that you remain in business while they sell your coils (of-course with the Govt provided environment). All these inventions are waste of man hour in my opinion, an invention is fused with business strategy, it has a target market, or you think the man who invented E=MC2 wanted to use it to take photographs? 1 Like |

Re: Nigerian Student Builds Solar-powered Car by 00francis: 3:00pm On Jul 18, 2014 |
All this accolades for lack of originality. firstly it was very stupid to use a Volkswagen beetle which was made from real heavy metal. this will require a lot of power to move...and sadly that panel arrangement cannot generate nearly enough power to move that thing at a bearable speed for 5km. The only thing he did there was setup the panel, connect it to a battery and connect the output of the battery to a motor that will drive the wheels. So please tone down the praises. With that said, it is a very simple procedure. 1 Like |

I honestly dont get you. You are listing all these as basics and advocating starting from the basics. What have you started exactly? Tell us? Since you are the all knowing. What exactly have you done against the odds that is worth showing off as a promise for the future? |

omar22: Unfortunately you are wrong. The Oyinbo man will pick this guy up and ensure that he is able to develop that idea. You know why? Because the Oyinbo man knows that if he succeeds, he will be able to exploit it. |
