Ejikeme Patrick Nwosu:Research Work On Conversion Of Urine Into Flammable Gases / Nigeria: Scientist's Conversion Of Urine Into Flammable Gases Gets Patent / Remembering Ejikeme Okoye, The First Cambridge Fellow From Nigeria (2) (3) (4)
Ejikeme P. Nwosu Develops Process For Producing Flammable Gases From Urine by youngies(m): 5:29am On Mar 29, 2012 |
A NIGERIAN Scientist, Ejikeme P. Nwosu, 29-year-old, may have developed a process for producing flammable gases from urine. Nwosu, a graduate of Pure and Industrial Chemistry from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka (NAU), Anambra State with Masters of Science degree in Organic Chemistry from the University of Ibadan (UI), Oyo State, claims this process could replace fossil fuel in the near future. Nwosu told The Guardian, "after years of study, I have successfully developed a process that converts urine into flammable gases. These gases can be used as an alternative to fossil fuel. This process is cheap, easy and very feasible. It requires treating urine with some substances I identified after years of study. "No external heat is required for this process. The flammable gas is rich in hydrogen and ammonia. Both can be used directly to generate energy or could be further purified upon chemical treatments to get hydrogen of very high purity. Hydrogen is the best fuel for engines because it poses no threat to the environment, it produces water vapour as by product." Scientists from Ohio University, United States, were one of the first, in July 2009, to describe the possibility of developing urine-powered cars, homes and personal electronic devices in the Royal Society of Chemistry's Chemistry Communications. Also, the BBC reported on August 19, 2010, of a research team at Heriot-Watt University, United Kingdom, investigating whether urine could be used as a source of renewable energy. Nwosu, who says he is the chief executive officer (CEO) and director of Research at Lumos Laboratories and Company Nigeria, Kaduna, further explained, "it is obvious that our crude oil reserves will be exhausted in few decades to come. When this happens we will be forced to use other sources of fuel, but it would be more prudent to start acting prior to such state. Besides these, fossil fuel has a lot of dangers that come with it; chief among them is climatic disorders. "In order to leave our world better than I met it, I ventured into research on urine and have made some notable successes that can change the world forever." Nwosu said the United States government alone has invested billions of dollars into projects that can produce hydrogen from various sources and it is high time the Nigerian government acted on this. "Trillions of litres of urine are generated yearly globally with an average adult producing about 2.5 litres daily," he said. The industrial chemist said contrary to people's view of urine as a waste, he sees urine as the solution to our highly sought clean, renewable and affordable energy. "Very soon, urine will be for sale. You are welcome to our laboratory anytime for demo, while coming do so with a bottle or bottles of urine and watch me change it to fire," Nwosu said. In a report published 2009 in Discovery News, the Ohio University scientists said they could create large amounts of cheap hydrogen from urine that could be burned or used in fuel cells, using a nickel-based electrode. "One cow can provide enough energy to supply hot water for 19 houses," said Gerardine Botte, a professor at Ohio University developing the technology. "Soldiers in the field could carry their own fuel." More: http://channelkoos.com/index.php/news/1223-nigerian-scientist-develops-process-for-producing-flammable-gases-from-urine- 3 Likes |

hahaha . hmm, now I think about it, it is very doable. After all urine does contain the necessary organic substance, elements and ions found in your average fuel. To think about it, didn't they already create a biogas fertilizer out of the waste products of anaerobes? Yo this boy onto something. Eeh, if the ancient romans, chinese, mayans, some africans, indians, etc can use urine to threat some disease as well as skin imperfection then turning urine into fuel might not be so far fetch. |

Callotti: Tufiakwa! Haven't you heard that you can make charcoal from faeces. In fact, I am told it burns better. In future, we might just be peeing in our cars to power them. So instead of having "Do not urinate here" notices, we will now have: "Please, I beg you to urinate in my car's fuel tank." Isn't that just awesome! Don't puke yet, a brilliant(?)scientist obtained 'meat' from faeces. Would you like a bite? 1 Like |

The North demands for 50% Urine derivation or resource control By afam4eva, Kaduna FOLLOWING the call by the south for a review of the 13 per cent derivation to the oil producing states, the northern governors assebly, says the urine states wants an increase in derivation or resource control. National coordinator of the group, Abubakar Ndimi in a press statement in Kaduna said, “We wish to inform them that the urine- producing states are not done with the peanut called “13 per cent derivation“, the core demands of the Northen people is resource-control. We produce the bulk of the urine that feeds this nation because our foods are mostly liquid which enables us to urinate at will." He said, “It is rather annoying that southern leader leaders are causing injury to the wound the nation is yet to cure. This is the greatest disappointment of Ohaneze Ndigbo and Afenifere to shamelessly say that the inadequate 13 per cent derivation to the urine producing states should be reduced. 4 Likes |
