Nice one,
Although its not a new technology,
Fuel-less cars are already existing.

Re: Covenant University Fuel-less Car Unvail! by ogbongzky(m): 2:20pm On Feb 21, 2012
Nice one. This means it can even be powered by solar energy. The solar panel can just be on the top of the car.

Even if the cars runs on Solar energy it still needs engine, and you honestly believe 5 12volts battery could run a car up to 70 KPH?

Re: Covenant University Fuel-less Car Unvail! by victorazy(m): 2:24pm On Feb 21, 2012
What's special about it? Is it not electric motor? Converting electrical energy to magnetic energy by passing current through two parallel wires. Every pikin in inter-science class can do it, plz we need something different cuz I have better ideas.

Why do we celebrate mediocrity? The key is whether this project is novel, that is, is it different from all the prior existing inventions? The answer is no. Battery-powered cars have been made for over 20 years, and now the technology has evolved to hybrid cars. There are also full-electric cars, and the batteries are made of lithium and can last anywhere from 150-300 miles on one charge. The latest technology in electric cars are high-performance electric cars, that is, electric cars that boast around 400-500 horse power, can go from 0-60mph in less than 10seconds, and can drive for 150-350 miles on a single charge. The leading companies with the high-performance electric cars are Tesla Motors and Fisker motors, both from the United States.

To make a make-shift version of existing technologies is not something to be celebrated. Let's celebrate novelty.

Imagine driving from Lagos to Maiduguri, a distance of about 22 hours without fuel in your car. Well, just before you say this can only happen in the dream, consider a recent technological breakthrough achieved by Covenant University, CU, Ota, Ogun State.

With the aid of rechargeable batteries, the car designed by researchers at CU can go all the way from Lagos to Maiduguri without having need for a recharge. shocked shocked shocked Solely powered by a battery that is designed to last for 48 hours the car is built with high voltage and anti-shock device and runs with a speed limit of 120 kilometres per hour!

Mesmerised? Well, wait for this. [b]Researchers at CU have also developed an E-election biometric system [/b]that ensures that there would be no missing names after voters registration exercise.

Welcome to another CU invention that takes care of the whole gamut of electioneering. From voters’ registration accreditation, voting and compilation of election results, the automated E-election biometric system designed by researchers from the university promises to bridge any electoral hiccups and bring credibility to the electoral process in Nigeria.

With a smart card that contains the bio-data, photographs and fingerprints, and could also be a means of national identification, researchers at CU believe that the card can be issued to every eligible Nigerian who will then update the information on their own annually. They argue that this will eliminate the wastage of human and monetary resources on voters registration exercise at every election year.

Perhaps, another unique feature of the biometric system is the packaging of the voting instruction proper. Charles Ayo, professor and director of academic planning, CU, says with this system, voters, no matter how advanced in age or their ethnic affiliations would be able to listen to voting instructions and vote unaided. “We don’t have to keep contracting the project out at every election year, only to give us a temporary voters’ card. The plan is to make the project a multi-lingual system, where the major Nigerian languages will be voice-displayed with pictures and political parties’ logos,’’ he said.

What about the other ethnic languages in Nigeria? Ayo does not think that the exclusion of the other ethnic languages will affect the viability of the device. “Besides English language, we have included the three major Nigerian languages to simplify the use. We have experimented with it and we feel that the three languages will go a long way in user participation. Besides the voters card, the biometric card also takes care of the national identity card and drivers’ licence,’’ he said.

Ayo who disclosed that work would be perfected on the device in a year, feels that would give enough time for it to be useful to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC during the next general elections in 2015. But, according to him, that will be after the necessary legal rights and awareness campaign.

The increasing need for personal and home security has also propelled CU to design an SMS-based home appliances control and security system that can be operated by the owner no matter the distance. On the system, there is a keypad where a seven-digit password is required to be imputed before access can be gained into any apartment where the device is installed.  If the password is properly imputed, it displays on the liquid crystal display device, LCD, mounted at the entrance of the house while access will be granted and the door opened. But if it is an intruder and the password is wrongly imputed, an alarm goes off after the third attempt while the owner is also notified of the intrusion.

Oluwole Olowoleni, an engineer and staff of the university, adds that the property owner would be notified through SMS if an intruder jumps over the fence. Explaining further, Olowoleni said the security system can also help an occupant check the power status of electronic appliances not switched off at home. Through SMS, the owner switches off the appliance to prevent a fire outbreak. In the next two months, Olowoleni hopes that the university would be done with copyright issues to pave way for the commercialisation of these devices.

These inventions were subjects of exhibition during the recent 30th anniversary celebration of the Living Faith Church, also known as Winners’ Chapel, owners of CU. David Oyedepo, founder, Living Faith Church and chancellor of CU, said the university is committed to adding value to humanity and making the world a better place in all areas of life.

EXACTLY MY POINT,

And people are going on as if theirs a major break through!!! yet someoe has yet to explain how car packed with 5 12v batteries would reach 70 kph

Its unfortunate that some think this isn't innovation. Electric cars have existed for a while now but that doesn't mean we can't build on it. Phones existed before China phones started. Now even Nokia has a dual sim. Cars existed before Kia started, now see how they've grown. Myspace existed before facebook started.
You don't have to be the first inventor, you can build on other peoples work.

Atleast they are doing some research, If it means buying a toks pulling out the engine and installing whatever junk as some of u call it, and drive from lagos to maiduguri   without fuel my friend, it is something. atleast man no go de for queue for hours and wasting money in the name of fuel subsidy removal.
