Heat is just one of the produce of nuclear fission, and heat really is a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. For uranium(as well as most radioactive elements), you can expect copious quantities of gamma rays(which also lies in the electromagnetic spectrum, although in the very high energy part), which is what makes these elements dangerous to human health. Why? Because gamma radiation is an example of ionizing radiation(another example of ionizing radiation are x-rays). Basically such radiation is energetic enough to knock electrons out of their orbitals in molecules and even split atomic nuclei for such radiation with very high energies. How is this dangerous to human health? Because when human DNA is altered by such radiation they can behave in unpredictable ways, for example, initiate cancers and such.

Now, how can radioactive material be used to generate electricity directly? Well, since all radioactive material will emit at least one of the following, alpha, beta or gamma rays, I will be telling you how any of these 3 radiation can be used to generate electricity directly.

Alpha rays: Alpha rays are nothing more than ionized hydrogen, which means a hydrogen atom relieved of its single electron. All one would need to do is to put one metal plate on top of an alpha ray emitter and another in the earth, or a negative potential(or even better, a beta emitter) and connect your bulb light for electricity.

Beta rays: Beta rays are electrons. No need to use many words here, unless you need to learn how electrons are used in producing electricity.

Gamma rays: Gamma rays are ionizing, which means that they will easily knock electrons from the orbitals of virtually any ponderable material, thush leaving a net electric charge that can be readily put to work as an electricity generator.

Herakiri How can heat be part of the electromagnetic spectrum? Heat is just the excitement of molecules or atoms to higher vibrations or frequency.

Normal uranium gives of little gamma radiation most of the emotions is alpha particles. it is when the uranium hits critical mass and undergoes uncontrolled chain reaction (nuclear bomb)that it gives off huge amount of energy in the form of heat, gamma rays and other radiations in the electromagnetic spectrum.

All you talk about alpha rays, beta rays and gamma rays to work as an electric generator is hogwash. To create electricity you have use some sort of force to push electrons through a wire or some other conductive medium. Ionised air on its own flowing electrons through a wire is the most crazy thing I have ever heard.

giftedminds:
Tolani danger or his promoter is not sincere with the details of this discovery.

Ekiti State Electricity Board (EKSEB) is one of the agencies under my Ministry of Infrastructure and Public Utilities ,(MIPU) of which I am Special Adviser to the Govermor. EKSEB GM Atere went to Erijiyan to investigate this stone electricity matter earlier today. Here is his report:
READ THIS:
I was personally at Erijiyan today
for on-the-spot assessment and the boy lied about what he posted. He only used lithium batteries joined together with masking tape to produce electricity not from the stone . If the stone is removed the power supply from the batteries will still produce power. The public should disregard this discovery it was a blatant lie and falls short of all principles of electricity generation. Thank you Sirs and Mas.

We have our answer then. We thank you for the interest.

Thanks for this

Sunmolar:


The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another. This means that a system always has the same amount of energy, unless it's added from the outside.

So, how much energy is in the stones that can be converted into generating electricity with capacity enough to power the bulbs and radio as seen in his house?

The energy is not coming from the stones(assuming that this stunt is real and not fake as some on this thread has claimed). There are many natural phenomena that can induce a potential difference between two sufficiently spatially separated points on earth. I gave one example here(thunderclouds). There are yet others, even tidal forces from the moon could potentially lead to piezoelectric effect that in principle could be harnessed. The reason why the story sounds bogus to me is the use of stones instead of plain old metal plates.

godofuck231:
This boy will be killed o, the guy who invented the wireless television is a case

You mean the one that is powered by radioactive waves? Has he finally been killed?

Africa should unite and free themselves from the dominance of the white, especially UK and US.

This is one of the reasons Gadaffi was killed after he successfully invented the safest car in the world.

CodeTemplar:
some stone are naturally sensitive to tempature around their environment and so can be uses to produce current if maintained at two different temperatures.

SS3 physics. Is like you aced WEAC from SS1 o. Miracle centre things?

No need of making baseless claims, why not show us example of such stone that can produce current by thermocouple. Abi your phone no get Google?

wirinet:

who said stones produce current?

Use your brain and not you emotion or accounts. If the stones are having different temperatures, the difference in temperatures can be used to generate electricity.

First, why is the interview in Yoruba? If he doesn't speak English, they should get an interpreter. But how can a boy who stopped at SS 2 don't speak English.

The interviewer should have shown us the cable connected to the stones. Something is really not adding up in this story.

wirinet:


Herakiri How can heat be part of the electromagnetic spectrum? Heat is just the excitement of molecules or atoms to higher vibrations or frequency.

The heat(more correctly, phonons) are caused by electromagnetic radiation. Those molecules are vibrating because they have been excited by electromagnetic radiation, specifically, radiation in the infrared part of the spectrum, that is why light from the sun causes things to heat up. I suppose the choice of words were a bit nuanced, I would use phonons instead of heat to describe the states of those excited molecules and heat is more correctly understood as energy, just didn't want to get overly pedantic.

You had better go and do a bit more research. Sufficiently pure uranium of any mass emits significant amount of gamma radiation. The main function of super-criticality is for the employment of neutrons that it also emits. If not super-critical then we can not have a chain reaction because most of the neutrons will simply escape from the metal instead of being channeled to induce more fusion.

Ionised air on its own flowing electrons through a wire is the most crazy thing I have ever heard.

I was going to advise you to do a bit more research but I now see the futility in this as you have no background in physics whatsoever, and yes, even ionized air will cause electrons to flow in string of wire if set up correctly. Google up "ion thrusters", "corona winds" or "Beefield-Brown effect" (I hope memory serves well here). These effects are used not only to cause electrons to flow in metallic wires but to create some rather mild lifting thrusts for small toy crafts. I should know this, I've built many a ion thruster in my school days, and even now, I am working on an idea for a very powerful thruster which will use partly just these effects, although in a novel way.

As I mentioned earlier, I find this story to be bogus, which is really unfortunate because it(a likely bogus story) is trending on NL front page. There was a poster on this thread who claims to have been at the testing site of this stunt that all but swears that the whole thing was a fake, I am starting to believe him.

Mjshexy:
In saner climes he'd get supported by the government but does our government care about young Nigerians with such exceptional discoveries, no they don't . All they are interested in is to borrow on behalf of Nigerians, steal all they borrowed and die leaving Nigerians in unfathomable indebtedness

In a saner clime he will be supported by NGOs foundations or private individuals not government. Stop this lie. Govt here in America will not support him. I know more than 5 guys here that have invented lot of things, they only patented them and no govt help. America govt o. Stop saying saner climes abeg.

What do they stand to gain?

Electrical Engineers should please explain to us how possible it is to generate light from two stones.

MrAgbako:
what happen to him?

Rumor has it that he was poisoned, but still alive.

Must be the philosophers stone

Simeonjoe1:


All this support from government! Like we are running a socialist Country. Guy can't you support him yourself? Or must you wait for the government?
So if government no support talent private individuals we have can't do so?

Can you pin point just one that you and your government have supported? Many of our youths are being lured to Countries who appreciate these kind of talents and discoveries, they empower them and grant them conducive environments to discover more, you then run to these foreign countries and solicit for solutions and help from them, continue encouraging rubbish it's fine.

MechanicMike:



why are u using fake photo on nairaland? are u 419? cant u people be natural for once?? all becuz u want likes, u steal person photo to use to catch mens. shame on u on nairaland for stealing another perosn phto. u shod be arrrrested for theif!!!!(no oofeinsce)

Naturally i don't respond to clowns, but a quick one, pls go back to school

Mjshexy:
Naturally i don't respond to clowns, but a quick one, pls go back to school

U angry BECUZ I expose u for stealing another person photo for likes?teknicaly u are a theif meaning u hav criminal record for stealing another person photo.... anyways am a Londoner.u still a theif thou.anyways . Was Yor nomba please?(no offenscce)

Abeg it'd not my government never was.


But government is not what your country can do for you, it's what you can do for your county

harsysky:



Yes they do. Obama killed Osama. A sane man killed an insane man

lol.

Ekiti the fountain of knowledge

LagosG:

We prefer to over celebrate big yansh in the kitchen.

And you want God to forgive you O.

If u know the principles of electrolysis.
U won't doubt what that boy had done there.

Unfortunately, this has been confirmed to be a fraud. Some professors invited him to showcase this invention and he confessed he hid some lithium batteries to power the bulb.

Professor Bolaji Aluko under the leadership of Prof Olanipekun, VC of EKiti State University sent delegates to understudy this invention and see how it can be supported. Alas, the boy is a cheat.


Case closed.

godofuck231:

Wireless television? How and where

officialwdhtv:


An Ekiti boy named Tolani "aka tolani danger" has generated electricity from 2 stones to power his home

Speaking on camera as he showed how he did it, he also said that he once generated electricity from an electric fish before and people around his community could testify to that.

Take a listen!!!

#wetindeyhappenTV

📺👇👉

His lie has been exposed by Ekiti state government fact finding team. The stone was a cover, he actually buried lithium battery in the soil.
His claim didn't make any sense scientifically.

AKWATGOLD1:
Tolani Danger in action.
His discovery generating electricity through stone is amazing.
He said his curiosity starts from mystery behind lightening when you strike cutlass against stone and he starts his research.
Nigeria is full of untapped talents.

See hyping! Lol. I watched his lie too.

Mjshexy:

They don't claim to generate electricity from "black and white" stones in saner climes.

gasparpisciotta:
Cobalt stones at work.

However the man’s ingenuity should be applauded

May be applauded about something else, but this one, he scammed the public 2

ghettochild:

If you know the principle behind the generation of electricity, you won't believe the boy for a second. He's been bursted already

Ken4Christ:

Piezoelectric effect comes to mind, but even then the stones would have to be made of piezoelectric material and would produce essentially useless electric power at that.

Regarding what they stand to gain? Your guess is as good as mine.

I don't understand what he is saying, couldn't they have communicated in English?

People still dey argue.

Wetin dem don debunk say na lie the guy dey lie dey use us catch cruise.

Honestly I was waiting for that because scientifically it made no sense.

chatinent:


It can work. The difference in temperature is an energy source.

I don't blv it

you dont talk about what you dont know!nothing is impossible!so,the journalists,too were bn fooled?who could av ever believed about aeroplane and co?

this may be true but two stones can be manipulated to get electricity through thermocoupling.
