Alusiizizi: 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. |

Sunmolar: 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. 2 Likes 1 Share |

godofuck231: 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. |

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. |

Alusiizizi: 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. 1 Like |

wirinet: 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. wirinet: 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. wirinet: 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. |

Ken4Christ: 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. |

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. |

Simeonjoe1: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. |

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. |

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. |
