I saw a thread by Aigbofa of this invention of a military grade vehicle by a Professor in UI. It can rival the famed ogbunigwe

I can't laugh.

Even Boko haram, will reject this Opolo, if given for free .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonov_1

It has the capability to drive forward and backward.

OBAGADAFFI:

it was invented by a yoruba professor for our military

Invention in deed!

Cc afam4eva

Lol...

Op what is the uses?

its a crude tank for deployment of soilders to the battlefield.


This is a prototype

Since Biafrans invented Ogbunigwe then we also invented Autonov1. It sounds Russian but it was gotten from Auto and Novo a crude form of Porto Novo

Which invention??

A Nigeria utility vehicle that was converted into canopy. What a caricature and so funny it came from a professor... Can't stop laughing

where is aressa subway101 hundredhundred to come and defend this invention.


Shymmex your kinsmen have an invention

This will come handy in vending icecreams or bread.

this isn't a "tank" in any sense of the word

It's unfair to even call this an invention since such a vehicle had been in existence long before the able Prof concocted this contraption

It has the capability to drive forward and backward.

So can your mom's Honda! Truly 9ja has caught Japan in technology!

where has it been in existence?

Autonov 1 is the name given to the auto mobile nov elty
that was created sometime in the 1970s, by making a
once regular motor vehicle engine able to run in both the
forward and backward directions, utilizing all four pre-
existing gears in whichever direction. [1][2] A second
steering wheel was introduced at the back, with a central
revolving chair to effect the driver's switch-over
position.

Purpose of design

Its inventor, the late engineering professor Ayodele
Awojobi , imagined the advantage of the invention in such
a situation as when a motor vehicle drives forward into a
cul-de-sac and needs to make a fast, backward retreat.
Emergency evacuation procedures or war-time situations
exemplify this.

Patent and specification

A patent for the invention was never obtained before the
inventor's untimely death. An abandoned Layland jeep
was utilized for the invention and it is to this day,
displayed at the Faculty of Engineering, University of
Lagos during the said faculty's "Engineering week". It
basically consists of a jeep, with a second steering wheel
built-in at the rear end that connects the axle. A gear-
shift is also built here that connects, through a built-in
mechanism, to the already pre-existing four gears, such
that the hybrid vehicle can be driven on all four gears, in
both forward and backward directions. The jeep's central
compartment was re-designed to have a rotating floor
mechanism that can swivel an occupant from the rear
seat, to the front one and vice versa.
Short of dismantling it piece-meal, the detailed
knowledge of the designed mechanism is unknown as no
drawings or design sketches are known to exist.

This crap is what Aigbofa dare to compare with ogbunigwe
