Possibly one of the more unexpected products at Maker Faire Africa this year in Lagos is a urine powered generator, created by four girls. The girls are Duro-Aina Adebola (14), Akindele Abiola (14), Faleke Oluwatoyin (14) and Bello Eniola (15).

The generator is on display at an exhibition in Lagos Nigeria where people from the tiniest villages to those from big cities are talking about making stuff. This is part of an initiative by ‘Maker Faire Movement’ which seeks to showcase how traditional handicrafts can be a solution in the wake of expensive robot.

Their invention ensures that 1 Liter of urine gives you 6 hours of electricity.

The system works like this:

1. Urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which separates out the hydrogen.

2. The hydrogen goes into a water filter for purification, which then gets pushed into the gas cylinder.

3. The gas cylinder pushes hydrogen into a cylinder of liquid borax, which is used to remove the moisture from the hydrogen gas.

4. This purified hydrogen gas is pushed into the generator.

Sorry bro, I did that before you....

This guys should bring their generator to my office building to collect urine, infact, urine is now for sale.... Men, new business in town...

On a serious note, thumbs up to the girls for bring in a smelly invention, imagine you storing jerry cans of urine in your toilet because it is cheaper

But on a lighter note... I came 3rd after a hard struggle with Afam4eva

see d face of an average brain... poor u

Great initiative!...and from 14yr old students too.

1. Where is the fourth girl?
2. How long can the system last? I mean the whole of the stuff. Remember a white man will tell you 'This will last for 100 years' sort of.

ITS A GOOD INVENTION BUT IT CAME LATE AS NIGERIANS WOULD BEGIN TO ENJOY UNINTERRUPTED POWER SUPPLY AS FROM THE FIRST QUARTER OF YEAR 2013. THEY SHOULD HURRY UP TO SELL THE FEW THEY CAN SELL WITHIN THE REMAINING TWO MONTHS TO 24/7 ELECTRICITY IN NIGERIA

@belhomme u got me really laughing

Wow!,in Nigeria.Yes,we are advancing

OGINNI?

hmmm. 14, 15 years old developed this?

Very interesting. Now all 'DON'T URINATE HERE' warnings on walls will now read 'URINATE HERE ON THE CONTAINER'

people time 4 urine business bt dnt make d mistake of selling urs to Baba AGBORIOLOGBOSOOGUN cos u go lean lik say electricity pass tru ya body o.

What I found interesting about the invention is the fact that the inventors are all 14/15yr olds and again, they are all yoruba girls going by their names. FYI, i nor be yoruba.

Its a clear pointer of where our leaders should channel efforts and policies.

Even during the era of Intro Tech in JSS, such inventions were not heard of.
Govt pls encourage the youths, Nigeria is full of Steve Jobs, Einstein and co, but the environment is suffocating these creative inventors.

So I go come comot my dick piss for dat funnel - hey na wa ooo
