godstino: your problem is ENVY cos at their age u cudnt even switch on a GENERATOR and even at 40,u cnt still identify the constituents of urine talkless of using it to power a GEN..

Good Invention - na only female pee abi male pee follow de generate the electricity?

This story is so not clear...

The generators are powered by Urine? Very cool! But how do they filter the urine as claimed? What's the source of power for the filtering process??
Do these young girls know much of organic chemistry, biochemistry and stuffs 'cos from the look of things they're still in ss2 or ss3.

I really don't know sha, buh anyways kudos to them...

a1solution: 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

Who says there will be uninterrupted power supply? Will it be in Nigeria or Ghana?

IS THIS REPORT SPECIAL because URINE IS INVOLVED? THE WRITER SHOULD PLEASE TELL US THE EFFECT OF THIS FEUL ON THE ENGINE.

proffmanue: It's a good innovation but "what is the source of energy they used for electrolysis?"

Good question!! I don't think the carbon in Urine is enough to create such amount of energy. There is an additional professional help to this invention.

I don't believe it was completely their idea too. But well, if it is, That's Great.

If you do not believe in their invention there is soon a chinese businessman who will steal their invention and reproduce it in China.
He will then build millions of urine powered generators Made in China and will sell them to Nigerians.
Re: Nigerian Girls Invent Urine-powered Generator by lagcity(m): 1:44pm On Nov 08, 2012
from what i'm reading here, there's no reason why this gen should not work with water. there's really nothing special about the urine.

booqee: blood of god! undecided Inferiority complex has has demented ur brain. So because some profs can't 'invent toothpick', dat means the upcoming generation can't do any better. Why do we think so low of our country nigeria?? If they're 14yr old nko?? No be d same brain wey God give steve jobs, and every oda inventors out dere, ee also gave dese girls?? Fine, there might be something fishy bout the story..infact it might not be a true one. But fact is, it isn't a strange tin for a 14yr old to invent such or even something more complex in nigeria. Hian! angry
...boobsqee or whatever you call yourself,I have always known that you did not attend classes when you were in pry school but don't know if you have turned a new leaf now that you are in secondary school....
Now listen attentively....I âm not doubting the theory nor the possibility of this invention but that these gurls are 14-15 years of age and are Nigerians....its either they lied about their age or they are not Nigerians..
A Nigerian at age 14-15 would still be in secondary school or just finished secondary school where theory and knowledge needed to bring about such an invention such as a urine-powered generator is far beyond their scope.

Congrats Smart girls, I feel so proud my heart could burst. I am so happy that you have shown the rest that life and growing up is not about just being pretty and dumb and scavenging for wig and phone money.
These are the kind of girls I love and appreciate, those who have a brain and are not afraid to use it. Dont let anyone make you feel you are less than you are or you should be ashamed about being smart.
I am really happy

Sounds like a great initiative but I have to admit that as a scientist, some things don't add up yet and sound too simplistic. I commend the girls for their initiative but I do have questions:

1. From the pictures, they are using a small i-pass-my-neighbour kind of generator. From what I see, they didn't invent a generator but a way to use urine to power it. I don't know if someone can clarify that please
2. If they are talking about using urine to power the generator, that in itself is still a great initiative but at least let's be clear on what it is exactly.

Here is a link on how to convert propane powered generators into using hydrogen as fuel

www.hydrogenappliances.com/generate.html

www.popularmechanics.com/_mobile/science/energy/next-generation/4199381

Sincerely, I do not think it is an invention but it is a great science initiative and exposing these kids to it as such an early age is great. But it is important we do not sensationalize these things.
