Water Bicycle: Frank Darko Offered Scholarship At Takoradi Technical University by HeWrites(m): 4:08am On Feb 21, 2018
Talents they are say have got to continuously be preferred certainly while you to find anybody who's able to make excellent use of it. Such was the case of this young man Frank Darko and he has been applauded for inventing a bicycle that rides on water.

Frank Darko, who is already a final year student of Takoradi Technical University simply obtained a full scholarship from the school. This scholarship was not just given because of his talent but in addition on the grounds that he deferred his education as a result of lack of cash.

The distinct innovation grew to be known by the world after BBC decided to function it on their more than a few portals.

The innovation soon went viral on social media, leaving many persons in awe of how the sort of piece was put together.

Darko later revealed that he was inspired by the plight of some students who needed to swim before getting to college. So he invented the "water bicycle".

He said:
"I was watching a documentary some years back and that i noticed institution kids swimming through a river before going to tuition. So, I told myself, what can i do to help these youngsters and that i began pondering. Sooner or later, I was in a position to provide you with this proposal".

Nevertheless, his exploits appeared to have rather impressed the hierarchy of the Takoradi Technical institution, who have decided to award him a full scholarship.

A publication on the university's internet site said the move is geared toward encouraging other pupils to undertake innovative methods of solving societal issues.

The vice chancellor, Professor John Frank Eshun, added that the whole scholarship was to: "motivate Darko to undertake more innovations to solve the challenges within the Ghanaian society and the world at large".

By the time the chain connecting the pedals and wheels of the bicycle cuts in the middle of the river and you can't swim or have a lifejacket, that's when you will know that it's not every product of invention that's worth buying.

This hate is so unnecessary.

Actually, no machine can be 100% efficient because forces like friction and gravity would always be present, thus reducing the efficiency of the machine.

Therefore, Precautionary and safety measures should be provided and encouraged in order to avoid or atleast reduce accident(s).

I need help with my school fee, pls no one should nail me on this, cos right now here seems to be my last option I settled for, have no one since my secondary school, it's has always been myself, and recently I lost a night security job that I can use to raise my school fee, just because i offered a help to a stranger (can't bring out the details here now). Pls fellow nairalanders I really need ur help, am already in my final year (HND II), all I needis the school fee, I believe I will scale thru with other needs. The sum is 49,500 naira only.

If this need is meet, I promise to return such help to any nairalander student in the future[/s].

The fact that I haven't manufactured anything thing doesn't mean I shouldn't criticise but come to think of the bike, isn't worth it in this 21st century.

Congrats though.

The kind of news we need to read... Quite encouraging and thoughtful.


It is still very difficult to understand why twenty adults would be gathered in a premises for over three months without any particular focus. Yet one of them will be rewarded with 45m.


Welcome to Nigeria!

In coming future people will develop on this design...but we should give him credit because he created an headway in that regardkiss....what have you invented since when you existed....pls when you see creativity appreciate it

We pay too much emphasis on education in this continent. What that young man need is investors not scholarship.

With this scholarship now, he will stop pursuing his dream and start pursuing CGPA.

At the end he join other job seekers in the street
