The 32-year-old man identified as Augustine Otuokwa Ogar, who became an online sensation after constructing a 200 Mega Watts mini Hydroelectric power plant that generates electricity for the plant site and its surrounding early this year - is back again with another cool invention.

The graduate of Electronic and Computer Technology, University of Calabar (UNICAL), who comes and from Wula village, Eastern Boki in Boki Local Government Area of Cross River State, has constructed a Hydroelectric power machine that uses a bucket of water to run using locally sourced materials...

The talented man explained his research on Hydroelectricity to Calabar Reporters as he revealed that the system generate up to 20 watts (20W) of power that powers the injector pump and some phones and it operates when the top tank is filled with a bucket of water.

He said, “The device has two wooden tank (the up and down tank) for collection of water, a pen stock to control water out of the upper tank to the turbine, the turbine that convert the potential energy of water into mechanical energy that rotate the alternator through the pulley system, the alternator that generates power and lastly a riding machine injector pump motor which pump back water from the down tank to the upper tank and the process continues”.

Explaining how it works, Ogar said, “A bucket of water if emptied in the tank and water is allowed to flow and hit, turn the turbine which rotate the alternator, then electricity is generated which then energizes a small pumping machine that pump back the water into the first tank then process continues. The system carries two tanks, up and down tank. I decided not to show everything here for technical reasons

“It operates without a repulsive force or zero back electromotive force (emf). I invented it to be used for practical demonstration on hydroelectricity. It generates up to 20 watt during operation but I stepped down the power to power one blinking LED for demonstration and technical reasons.

“The system generate up to 20 watt of power that Powers the injector pump and some phones and it operates when the top tank is filled with a bucket of water and it’s a continues system. Although, not every part of the system is shown here for technical reasons because it’s going to be a huge technology in the nearest future.

“It shouldn’t be a surprise to any one that water contains both potential and kinetic energy and the law energy that it can be converted from one form to the other. On like mechanical generators, this device has two major sections also, the turbine that does the conversion of the potential energy of the River into motion serves as the mechanical part of the device while the alternator which convert this mechanical energy into electricity, is the electrical part of the device.

“The river that carries both the kinetic and potential energy is the fuel or the power house of the device. This is an era of renewable energy, can we join hands together to really developed this local innovation to solve the problem of power outage in Rural and Urban areas? And also to combat the challenges of global warming? What about training of youths on hydroelectricity by establishing renewable energy? Building training centers across the country and also creating job opportunities. God bless Nigeria”, Ogar concluded.

another invention... and their mouth wil b spilling jag...s saying d youths ar lazy. thumbs up bro

thats good

Talent
We're not #Lazy

Shame on the NEPA Certificate cow.

rubbish

nobody should argue wit me, i need money

Dead on Arrival... another toy Einstein toying with the utopic engineering of the perpetual motion machine ..This is beautiful nonsense but I still commend him for putting his brain into some imaginative drive

Nice one mate

nice one...but marry better wife that will not kill this gift

Man invents wheel. Mtcheeew.

Igbo amaka

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a step.

A big congrats bro.

what he built is a small scale hydroelectric power station. like a mini kainji dam. although the generator powering the pumping machine that moves the water that powers the generator won't work.
the water needs an external energy source to make it flow. like someone continuously pouring buckets of water into the machine. a machine can't power itself.

lazy youth kan ni yen o. welldone bro

I Know he must be a Biafran. See Afonjas above already hating and giving their useless advice...go and invent your own nah if you Sabi too.Lazy afonja yahoo yahoo skull miner youths.

Chai.

Abeg i wan buy one

Except he is taking that invention to a water fall, the energy expended in getting water to the reservoir, will be more than the energy generated from it.
If this is for illustration purposes, fine.
If it is to be commercialised, its a waste. Time, energy and resources should be channelled into more resourceful things.

Where d pics of wen d phone dey charge

Igbo amaka

Indeed......

Though he's from Cross River, but.....

Igbo Amaka all the same.

Africans and their funny/end time inventions...

l

That's a Malabite, always representing.

Good job, But imagine carrying this with you inside Danfo.

Celebrities won't appreciate this one. But so fast to fund BBN winner.

Buhari was right. Uneducated lots we have amongst our youths. No celebrity will react to an invention like this.

This guy should be a celebrity by now

Hhmmm

Up LNY, driving bubu back to daura

200mega watt?. Make una dey careful how una de write o. 200MW on his own? A turbine in sapele power station de generate highest 120MW. Then only one person construct 200MW

Very lazy youth. Where people above 20 in other countries are building power stations this one is building buckets
