If you have memories of the past few months when you spent N200 or N300 or even more on a litre of petrol, and you’re already worried about your survival should another spell of petrol scarcity resurface, well, it does seem half of your problems have been solved.

The story has been online for a few days, and it is fast gaining traction: a Nigerian has sensationally “invented” a generator powered by water – rather than petrol, that fuel that sometimes is almost as expensive as gold.

In the real sense of it, an invention as this does not entirely render petrol useless; but if you no longer have to worry about petrolling your generator, why not?The biodegradable-waste machine from Baltimore, United States, KaroKanye Akamune shared photos of both the inventor and the invention,supported with a post that reads:

“A Nigerian, Emeka Nelson, creates an electricity generator that is powered by water. He also invented what he calls the ‘MGBANWE C12′, a machine that turns non-biodegradable wastes like plastics, waterproof nylon, etc into petrol, kerosene, diesel and some other heavy oils and interlocking stones. In the pictures: L-R: the Hydroelectric Generator and MGBANWE C12.

Creative and inventive minds in Africa should be identified, supported and celebrated. Instead of marrying a 3rd wife or building a 4th house you would hardly ever sleep in, invest that money in people like Emeka Nelson.
African ‘angel investors’ must arise!“You may not have money to invest. But you can share this post. You can spread the message in different ways. You can petition your elected officials to do more in ensuring the growth of the Science& Technology sector of the economy.

Always remember, a country that does not produce man-made goods and services will always lag behind. Choose prosperity today! And WORK for it!”Well, this is not the story. Just a teaser for minds working at such first-class curiosity as ours here, while we fetch you details of what exactly Emeka Nelson has been up to!

wow.... this is so creative....
government won't encourage him now o

This may not be of any economic value in the end. How much steam is needed per hour to generate reasonable amount of power?

Good! good!! And very good!!! Thank God that he is not using it to mix charm

Very creative

Please stop saying this thing.. ... It is impossible for water to be used as fuel
Fuel energy is released through combustion and water is already a product of combustion so can not combust again. ..
The closest u can get is to heat up water and use the energy to drive turbines and this technology would be foolish on small scale

Please stop dreaming water will never be fuel

let the guy make a video demo of this and i will personally support him.

As you read this, pay very close attention to the name: Emeka Nelson. The Great Igbo Race says Lord Luggard. The only time in history a colonial administrator referred to an African race as great.

OP are you really this gullible or just think that Nairalanders are?

So this scammer has invented technology that will revolutionized the world and only needs N2m to actualize his dream

Help me tell them oh.


Energy cannot be extracted from water in its original form except

1. It's propelled under pressure

2. It's falling from a height

3. It's heated up to steam to drive a steam turbine

4. It's electrolyzed into hydrogen and oxygen then burnt back

Water it's in its completely stable state.

Energy is often obtained from substances that aren't yet in a completely stable state.

1. Fossil fuel which isn't completely stable is burnt to a stable state to form co2 and water

2. Fission is carried out on unstable radioactive nuclei to form more stable nuclei.

3. In nuclear fusion, two atoms which are "stable" are combined to form an atom which is unstable. The unstable atom rapidly reverts back to a more stable form with the release of energy.

Water cannot produce energy. this is obviously a fraud.
