emurode: MICRO-SPEEDS TECHNOLOGY &SOLUTION
Enjoy uninterrupted power supply without a
Generator
NO NOISE, NO POLLUTION, NO GENERATOR...Think only on INVERTER/SOLAR, Powered by innovation...
Trouble free, user friendly source of power-The world loved it!
Enjoy uninterruptible power supply without GENERATORS. Inverter are technically much more advanced as compared to generators which are noisy, polluting and need starting that usually requires pulling chords-a feat not suited to ladies and children. Besides, they are often dangerous and can lead to fire and accidents. Storage of fuel too is a major fire hazard. Inverter automatically takes over in case of power failure and switches off when power supply is restored; one does not even realize that there is a power failure.
It is for these very reasons that INVERTERS are PREFERRED over GENERATORS throughout the WORLD. All you have to do is FIX and FORGET, the inverter does the rest.
ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS
• Eco friendly since no noise pollution and no air pollution
• Lesser cost of ownership and also economical to run
• User friendly, automatically changes over from mains to inverter on power failure & vice-versa when power gets restored.
• Low maintenance effort/cost.
• Very safe and clean as no fuel handling/storage required.
• Ease installation, can be installed in smaller space and as per convenience.
• Good power quality and hence it is very safe for sophisticated household appliances.
• Better technical support
• Best warranty cover
• 24/7 after sales services
• Best service centre
ENSURES
• Full safety of highly sophisticated equipment
• 100% pure, reliable and regulated power
• Low running cost
• Extended power back up time
• Easy maintenance
• No humming noise from any load.
• Great power saving
APPLICATIONS

Where is our Government to encourage guys like this? If this was in overseas, am sure an Organization or the FG would have picked him up and probably start an automobile company of the future, but our Government only thinks of how to increase their money.... What a Shame!

That car will cost over one million and thats why it won't be commecially available. Tesla has gone this far, until we find another cheaper and efficient way of converting photons to electrons, green energy will remain difficult. I challenge all students to research and experiment another way of converting light to electricity.

In America, they call guys like this technicians, not engineers. In Nigeria, they call guys like this engineers. Some Nairalanders who have never left the shores of Nigeria or who don't understand world-class higher education won't get it.

Sometimes I can't help but laugh at our ignorance and sheer backwardness! How on earth should this be a news, much less this unwarranted celebration? Neither solar power utilization nor car itself is new, so why this noise? I would give it a slight attention if he were to be the one making the solar panel himself using his own technology. Solar-powered and hybrid cars abound everywhere in the world, so how come a lot of people don't know about it? One clown in Ghana even did something like this not long ago and posted it on youtube and the general appearance was far better than this piece of crap(mind you I'm a Nigerian b4 you start thinking Ghanaian beefs here).
A lot of technologies abound and in most cases we can only innovate, improve efficiency and adapt it to our time and not this ugly looking monster of an 'Invention' that people are rolling out drums to celebrate. How is this more efficient or better in any way than the already existing solar and automobile technologies? I am a forward thinker, not a backward slowpoke.
As for me this is a piece of BULL-SH*T!

silverprince413: A young Nigerian student doing his last year
in electronic and electrical engineering at
Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, has built
a car operating on solar power.



Segun Oyeyiola explains that his car uses both wind
and solar energy for the functioning, The Net
reports. Moreover, the man developed an
application for its installation in the car, which app
will inform the driver about the battery level,
weather conditions and other essential parameters.
In an interview to allAfrica.com Segun spoke about
how he came up with the idea and eventually
embodied it. He confessed his first motivation was
to eradicate the causes of climate change resulting
in fuel combustion.
"In the course of my research, I found out that our
regular cars contribute immensely to climate
change… If we could manufacture cars that do not
use fuel or reduce the number of cars that use fuel;
our world will be a better place for us to live in."



The student had to work and study hard to achieve
his aim, which was even harder because of absence
of electricity most of the time.
Apart from that, the final year student faced other
challenges:
"Asides the lack of electricity, getting the right
materials and text books to study as well as other
needed tools was difficult. But the most prominent
of them was the lack of funds. I started using my
personal funds which I obtained by helping people
to do their projects and a little fund my parents also
contributed towards the project."
He also explained that the resulting model is a
prototype, but not the final look of the car. Segun
hopes to develop his project into a future car for
Nigeria and Africa, as it is created with regard to our
climate.
The young man points out another important
benefit of using his auto – low maintenance cost:
"Everyone likes it and they are willing to start
driving it around town because of its low cost of
maintenance. I developed a simple software that
can be installed on our laptops and smart phones to
tell us the battery level, the weather condition, the
distance we can cover during different weather
conditions and GPS location of the car."



Enthusiastic about his project, Segun says he is not
sure whether he would like to sell the idea to some
entity, he prefers to have the project funded and
continue working on upgrading the auto:
"I would rather they fund me to put together a team
to help me perfect them and make them
commercial."
In conclusion the 30-year-old urged youths to look
for solutions to the global problems and never stop
learning something new.
"And it’s better to start anything we wanted to do
now. Let’s do what will make us happy and that
which will not affect our fellow being negatively."
