Obayagbona Emmanuel Imafidon revealed that he developed a power-generating device that can end blackout.

He said this has been certified by professors from the University of Nigeria.

The engineering graduate said he needed the support of the government to fully develop it A Nigerian engineer, Obayagbona Emmanuel Imafidon, has revealed that he has invented a power-generating device that can solve the problem power outage in the country.

In an interview with Guardian, the graduate of Electrical Engineering from the Institute of Management and Technology in Enugu said he could generate power from thunder lightning and that he has been working on it since 2006.

Thunder Kwa?! Abeg ooo...it is light that we want, not trouble.

lemme not talk before them call me bad belle

Op NO LIGHT to carry read the one posted here let alone the link.
1month going no light.

Na only for raining season we go get light? Anywhere, the government should encourage him

Sango oooooooo
Na from sango u want light
Ok
Question one is if there is no thunder strike means no lihht
Question 2 if sango vex strike you Wey dey read my post what will befall nairaland

Question 3 you want free money from government.. Kolewerk

Harvesting Lightning is not a new concept which a lot of result have gone into which shows a lot of Brickhill that have made it not achievable , first and foremost the world currently consumes more electricity than all the lightning strikes combined in a year can produce , secondly only lightning that strike the ground can be harvested and that accounts for about 20 percent of all Lightning strikes as most occur between clouds and can take be harvested , 3rd to harvest lightning safely you super arrestor each bigger and more expensive than the eiffel tower will have to be be set up randomly with a high chance of not even getting struck for long periods..

4THLY there currently no no storage or battery available to wheel and store so much power in under 5 second because that's how long most strikes last ....Bottom line is that this guy's idea is not feasible and he still clearly doesn't even know the difference between Thunder and lightning

Lol u can't generate electricity from electricity I can only trap ,store and reuse ...but the occurrence of thunder is just too random for this to make sense

Is it marketable?

Well if you have a highly conductive and tall material in a vast area of non-conducting material, it is highly likely that the lightning will engage with that material, which can then trap the electricity and use it for power.

I believe the engineer meant his device utilizes lightening and not thunder.

Good point. But is there any electricity in thunder? Thought it was composed of just sound energy

How do u predict were the thunderstorm will hit and when ?? That's the main issue

See naijaman wants to connect with thunder when every other electrical / power generating engineer is praying and running away from it. The govt better send this guy to yaba left.

Native doctors will soon go into science & technology, now that lightning has now have another good use.
