This type of headline has been causing problems since the beginning of Nairaland.

In most cases, the problem is caused by the journalist, not the person that made the device.

What is the source of the power, is it electrical, chemical or motion?

Your question does not really matter.

Understanding is the most important factor in communication.

We all understand that in Nigeria, fuel means petrol or diesel.

So the innovation is a generator that does not use petrol or diesel.

Clown 'inventor' and clown reporter.

It doesnt run on fuel, and no mention of what it actually runs on. No mention of the technology behind the "invention". Even we all know what Elon Musk's "fuelless' Tesla cars run on.

Your invention doesnt run on fuel and in these days of T-Pain no one still knows about it?

Dude is probably setting the ground for a grand scam.

Dud you watch the full video or just intro and you are rushing to make comments

Their website is even more confusing, (maiko technologies)

I hate to rain on a man's parade, but the advertising makes it difficult for the product to sell

Tell us the source of the energy, what is being converted. Give us basic features on the product

I don't know any engineer or educated businessman who would spend 3 million naira on a product without the specifications being listed.

Either his advertising and publicity team did him dirty or his product just doesn't work.

even if it works, it's definately not flueless.

His website says he uses electromagnetic induction to generate power.

Please I need this. How do I get his contact please?

check the company website but first of all, think of how you would repair the generator when it breaks down.

Do some research on fuelless generator before you buy problem.

Your explanation does not really matter. Many people know that fuel is not only petrol or diesel and therefore it always causes confusion when it appears on Nairaland and there is a communication problem.

What you think in your small corner is irrelevant.

Nigerian Scientists Develop Fuelless Generator

Just like the law of conservation of mass. Energy cannot be created out of nothing, so what does his invention run on? Biomass? Hydrogen? Geothermal? Steam? It has to source energy from somewhere to convert to electricity.

If his postulations were correct, the global economy would have experienced a major shift from what it is currently.

Pls, where did you see this information?

From the comments above it's safe to say Nigeria is still in stone age. They've left us behind in the grand scheme of things. Just last week i bought a bike that doesn't use fuel for 1.8 million I only get to charge it with light. And someone is baffled on how a generator can operate without fuel.

SMH in disgust

mumu, just read what you typed again. Will you now charge the generator with a battery like your okada?

Make a patent of your original design then share it( by selling it to people) this way, even if you die, you made some money from your efforts/design.

Even offer to help them set it up on a contract bases

However remember, you will not only be the one on the wanted list

But for magnetic flux to be generated consistently, you need electricity, hence the name electromagnetic flux.

Do you charge it with the Normal 220 v Nepa Light?
or you have to buy a special Charging Unit?

The last company to make claims like this ended up failing miserably (Steorn Ltd)

Let's see if this guy can prove his claim scientifically - I pity the investors if he can't.

Babangidapikin:
It is possible , I know someone who has produce a car that run on water , imagine taxing the rain.... But he needs to give more information with respect to the capacity .. after all the Dam are running because something is moving the turbine, if you can replace that something with an alternative you still get power right

vikkyboi:
Oga, Why not simply ask of what you don't understand? It would have been better than you criticising.
Now,
Are you saying it is not possible to generate electricity without fuel?
Are you encouraging or discouraging your fellow Nigerian to build such.
And what is your own contribution towards this nor your community and to the country as a whole?
Even if it's a scam, why not investigate, why not bring sense of good mission and vision from it. Younger ones are here and there with great talents but people like you don't make use of it. Instead you go against; without you initiating better idea or as a challenge to you yourself that you can do better or rather in support to learn along.
Hhmm it is is well in the country and it is well with you.

Okay, it's been nearly three years since I've logged in on Nairaland lol.
But I must say, I cannot help but jump into this conversation.

You see, the mistake many of you fail to understand is that this invention of a fuelless generator is actually an ambiguous statement.

Now, what do I mean by this?
Well, it depends on context. You see, a portable power station or solar inverter is indeed a "fuelless generator". This is because it uses stored electrical energy to produce electricity.

Now @Babangidapikin your analogy is incorrect because a car running on water isn't "fuelless". At least from my understanding derived from my background in engineering (albeit electrical), if you want to build a moving vehicle that runs on hydroelectric power, you would need a vehicle that is too large to be practical. So essentially you will have to use the water to generate electricity in some other way than its kinetic energy (i.e. turning a turbine).
So, let's assume we have a "fuelless generator" that uses water. How do we generate power?

One way to do this is to use a fuel cell. An electrochemical reaction could be used to split the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is what is used in the fuel cell to power the vehicle's electric motor, whole the oxygen can be stored for use for either the braking system or ventilation or released as exhaust. However, this requires splitting the water molecules first, which requires energy. How do you separate hydrogen and oxygen from water other than that? Well, you could use thermolysis (requires heat), metal reactants (will increase weight and thus reduce efficiency, plus sodium and potassium aren't exactly cheap lol) or photolysis (too freaking slow).

Note that I didn't say anything about turning a turbine wheel with your borehole water. You can definitely build an electric generator from such a setup but you need to pump the water too. Okay, in theory you could rig a setup where the generator also pumps it's water as it runs but it's gonna seriously reduce the effective power generated because you lose additional energy pumping the water, infact, you will have a system that will fail because it used the energy used to generate electricity to merely pump water. And it's a machine, so there's friction, heat etc. So, mission failed.

Or you can use a battery powered inverter to charge another battery inverter that is also charging the inverter to create a two-way system. But as anyone who has used a power bank knows, you will eventually run out of stored energy even if both batteries are charging themselves.

Those of you who understand engineering or thermodynamics can see where I'm heading with this. And some of you sharp-eyed readers can pick the meat of what I am trying to say: this individual is obviously talking about a free energy generator. Now that's completely impossible, because of two laws that all engineering students are intimately familiar with (science students too) : the first and second laws of thermodynamicsz which are actually very similar to the law of conservation of matter in a way.

The first law states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can only be changed from one form to another. This simply means that you cannot pull energy out of nowhere; you must create it from something. Also it means that you can transfer energy from heat to do work, but the total energy of the system does not change

The second law states that the total total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time. This simply means that whenever work on a machine, no matter how well lubricated or no matter how few moving parts is performed (while it is running) some energy is always lost. In essence, no energy system is 100% efficient. These two laws make such free energy generators impossible.

Sorry for the long epistle, I just wanted to set the record straight.

I can bet you all those comments criticising the guy’s invention are from a particular part of the country because it is not their brother that is behind it.

Turn the table around if it’s their own person behind the invention, they will go to any length to defend and rationalise it and also claim victim mentality.

We know their modus operandi.

I was hoping to read what it runs on since it doesn't run on fuel but the reporter decided to be silent on that. Mstcheeeew

Now I have the time to include the missing post.

The most heartbreaking example for me occurred in 2010. Some secondary school students, little girls, made a machine as part of their JETS project, but instead of being appreciated, they were getting attacked all over the internet. Why? Because the journalist used certain terms in his report.

The journalist wrote that the girls had "invented a fuelless generator". People accused the girls of fraud and insulted them, but the girls never claimed that they invented a fuelless generator, those were the words of the journalist.

U want to go and build ur own if he tell u, clown hatred

Good one from him, wishing him more successes. What a young scientist.

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another. If it's not using conventional gasoline fuel, it must have other sources of energy.

TossTos:
They know he's about to stop their business from booming, they want to try everything to stop him .

And very very soon , we'll embrace him and I pray God's protections on him because those people will stop at nothing to bring him down ..

They won't want his innovation to see the light of day ..

Na so. Make una dey support scam dey go.

Mechanical motion could be initiated through a magnetic field induction which can come through a DC battery. From there, a Mechanical motion is initiated and the circle continues.

Please, we need a fueless car also. Engineers can build on this technology and invent a fueless car. Let me see how politicians will continue to steal money when no one is buying fuel again.
