This is a very dangerous contraption. Basically, its an electrocution device. Nothing ingenious here. From an electrical engineer's perspective, instead of wiring up a multi socket board (which is safer), he just wired up 240 volts to a rail of chains and uses the segments of the chain as socket points for polarity. DANGEROUS!!!!!!

this kind of innovation is meant for a war situation, but Nigeria's power situation is worse than that of a country in a full fledged civil war

It's innovative, but he should try to insulate it

quite innovative but also dangerous. someone shud advice him to get an insulator

authenticmoha:
To all those criticizing Musa for what he invented u guys are all crazy Why don't you guys go invent your own so that the whole world would know about your invention.Useless criticizers

You must have been born on a highway cos thats where most accidents happen.

Which innovation Connecting 2long chain to generator set.... I want to know the source of the power generate to charge those phones, if generator is not involve slap me

what do you know about power systems?? Some of you will just come online to type rubbish....
Go and know more about power systems, most especially transmission. You will know the effect of little or no power generation on consumers

A well constructed circuit-board would've been safer.

He looks like bukola saraki.

This is very dangerous the importance of extension box cant be ignored firstly are the resistors that maintain and monitor the amount of current needed plus the resistance of the wires used in it... All these are important to our chargers and mobile devices... Cause they need certain amount of current for proper functioning and prolonged lifespan... God will help us in Nigeria sha....

AgricSalt:


Oh it's not "invention" but many of them has killed their "inventor". Lol

Make we leave English, e no be our own

wicked

Y'all both made perspicacious pts... Bt cld we put Grey matter 2geda n come up with an insulation plan... Thanks... Cc: Orex, Lagbaja

Electricity needs potential difference for it to flow through you, thereby shocking you. When you are touching a live cable, as long as you remain at the same high potential as the naked hot wire, you are good....don't create the potential difference high or low.

Awesome!!!
Hw wld u do dt?..

slimfit1:
Dangerous abeg nothing innovative about this 1 % pass mark.

Yes oo I totally concur with you. Na danger wey no wear cloth be this oo. Innovate tho. God bless his hussle bur he needs to improve on it

OjukwuWarBird:
Niger state where Kainji dam is has no light

Where is Fashodarkness

Even Shiroro damn

quid:

Innovative AND Dangerous

nothing is innovative here he used a bicyle chain to do that which is extremly a high level conductor....then you are now using generator to power it and we call it innovation,l was thinking he did it with out coil or gen ......The dangers l see are no where reconciliable with the incentives.

NL topic in a couple of days "Chain Charger 'inventor' electrocuted"

Awesome!!!
Hw wld u do dt?..

The electrical hot wire is high potential, the negative wire is low potential and earth/ground is also low potential.

When you touching the hot wire, make sure no part of your body is touching earth/ground, also do not touch anything that is conductive that is touching ground, if someone standing bare footed touches you, he/she completes the high-to-low potential difference and both of you will be shocked.

The key is, insulate yourself from ground by wearing a good rubber shoes and do not touch the negative and positive wires at the same time, as your body will will complete the the electrical path. work on one wire either hot or negative at a time.

The same principle applies to high tension over head cables, though at the same voltage, but due to the different phases, they create the potential difference, so touching and repairing a single over head tension cable bare handed while wearing insulating foot wears is safe, the same reason birds can confidently land on bare live high tension cables and survives and some get electrocuted becos they somehow touched touched two live high tension cables at the same time.

0rex:
This is no innovation, neither a discovery. He is only making use of the conducting property of the metal used in making the chain. He could have as well used two half split plastic pipes filled with water & you just plug your charger into it.
This is an accident waiting to happen that can be prevented by a pair of #500 extension boxes.

you are right God bless you he bought gen bought buyes fuel regularly but can afford extension?

Becareful man, electrocution await u.

Fantastic nonsense! I bame the minister of darkness a.k.a rocket scientist for this risky rawbishness.

[quote author=lawngmahan

I think instead of criticizing him,we all sud think of how to beta his dangerous innovation

but still
kudos to his creativity

all he needs is encouragement to improve not criticism

Dangerously innovative#SafetyFirstPls

Tolexander:
This isn't invention but discovery because the chain has been existing, he only discovered it can be used for something else apart from the connection of wheels.

The materials used in inventing aeroplane were never in existence before they were used.

as a nigerlite, it baffles me too. Untill another group breaks out from niger state demanding stable and constant electricity.

The discovery is nice in one way also dangerous in the case of kids playing around that place because of the unclothedness.

erico2k2:

It's an invention .every invention where made of materials from existing discovery

which material did she put together to make the chain. We all know chain is a metallic material that conducts electricity.

Thumbs up to the guy, i must say. If am to be sincere the chain charger is more dangerous than innovative. As we all know, if one of His customers touches it intentionally or mistakenly that he will get electrocuted... Isa, think more and come up with something with no side effects.

I don't like that...I mean you last line of comment. You are not entitled to that comment.

I appreciate his innovative move but at the same time this is very dangerous as such a powerful conductor is left uninsulated,you wont dare to imagine the disaster that would happen if someone touches the deathtrap.
Maybe Isa wanted to solve the problem of fake extension sockets and landed himself in the extreme.

FlirtyKaren:
A hot debate is going on on Nigeria Twitter right now as to whether this man's creation of a bicycle charger is innovative or dangerous.

According to Pamela Braide, she met Isa in Bida, Niger state. They haven't had light for the past two weeks and to survive, Isa created this. He charges N50 per appliance. See how it works below and let's know why your thoughts are about this innovation, guys.

that socket is very dangerous,if u mistakenly match those chain your surname will be sorry.
