SalamRushdie:


Contrary to what you think Trimaran hulls provide better stability and hydrodynamics than an mono hull ..He just needs to make sure he get the hydro dynamism right with each of the hulls ..He is a smart guy with a very workable platform

A trimaran is a multihull boat that comprises a main hull and two smaller outrigger hulls (or "floats"wink which are attached to the main hull with lateral beams. As u can see, it is quite different from the bicycle boat design we have here. Look at the pix on the pond u can obviously see that boat is not balanced in fact one will need to paddle so fast to sustain a steady stability on water "newton third law" and believe me that aint sustainable because it requires human effort. If he being part of the weight remain static, him and the boat will sink. Its good but he can do better.

This is good innovation but it is not mechanically 100 percent efficient. Bouyancy on three seperate points in a triangular form, spells doom in terms of balance. This should be tagged reserch in progress; then experts can advise the reson behind the round, oval or parabollic shapes used for water borne transportations.

Nice step though, faulters dont get me wrong.
Bro no person in his right mind will criticize ur submission. U actually said something that will help the inventor improve.
Personally, I think the guy try.
It is a long time I commended an "inventor" cos most "inventions" I see are definitions of mediocrity

Seems like something from a movie I've watched. With an Indian guy. Not sure if its Life of Pi or some Aamir Khan movie. Where there was a smart borderline genius but somewhat disabled kid

he did not event anything people.
bros look at these ur pics closely and compare it with his invention. The difference is clear.
Ur pics are mostly simple bikes.
This one was built with a propeller/paddle.
Like it or not, this is smart!!!!!

celebrate what exactly? would you buy one of these bicycles? grin And why would you want to ride a bicycle on water anyway? are there no boats in your Area?
A lot of major innovations began like this. They were improved upon and became either stand alone innovations or became a significant part of another innovation.

why are University dropout the most creative and innovative and also The most successful entrepreneurs?









And those with good grades like first class and 2:1 are the most jobless even if they secure a job na 50k salary job them go get.


kudos to the Ghanaian dropout....... more greese to your elbow. I simply and humblely love this creativity.
school teaches you how to become what society wants you to become(slave to the system) only few break the trend( drop outs) school doesn't teach you what you need to know to be successful in life. It only teaches you what you need to know to be able to work for illiterates that own the biggest companies in the world. School is good but it limits your ability to discover your full potentials.
Psquare once said "We used to be told to study hard so that we could wear suits someday and get good jobs(work for someone else) but we decided to do what we love to do and it was fun. Today, we wear jeans and t-shirts and rock crazy hairstyles and we dine with presidents and governors while those who studied hard wear suits and work for us. If you think we lie, ask our account officers and the bank and our Lawyers. Dem sabi book pass us but we pay their bills."

That statement of theirs is not pride or boastfulness.... It is just the truth as it is.

obviously cos you don't have a first class. You wouldn't have rejected if you were offered.

and we all need to change our view towards education. Education is meant to enlightened the mind, it makes you are better person. Education and being rich are two different thing. Anybody can have money, be it deaf, dumb, slowpoke, even in the western world a Dog inherited properties but knowledge is not for everyone..you see for it..we need to start reorientating our youths and the kids before things turn bad. It's not good to be a dropout, you can be whoever you want to be while educated. Peace

It takes a certain amount of silencing your natural instincts to do well in the conventional classroom. Look at the Zuckerbergs and Gates of this world, the ckassroom was dulling them, so they had to leave and pursue what their teachers couldn't dream of. Classroom tends to confine to a box.

CastedDude:
Kudos to a young man in Ghana has got himself trending online after designing a bicycle which rides on water. The young man identified as Frank Darko revealed that he was a final year student at the Takoradi Technical University, Ghana - pursuing a course in Graphic Design before he deferred the course due to some personal reasons.

The young inventor revealed that the special bicycle is his first invention and it was built in four months as he started working on it since August this year.

A 19th century invention is seen as new in 2017 by ignorant Ghanians and their Nigerian counterparts. LOL.

We're far backward in science and technology. People should spend more time in science classes than in churches and mosques.
