[quote]Meet 72-Year-Old Dr Usman Hadi Who Invented Water Stove “No Kerosene, No Gas” in Gombe State

Dr. Usman Hadi, a 72-year-old from Gombe State, Nigeria, invented a water-powered stove using no kerosene or gas, a breakthrough developed over three years without formal education, challenging the narrative that advanced innovation requires Western schooling, as detailed in a 2023 Punch Nigeria article.

His creation leverages water’s chemical properties—likely through electrolysis or combustion of hydrogen extracted from water—to generate heat, a process supported by studies like a 2019 Journal of Cleaner Production paper on hydrogen energy, though his exact method remains unverified due to limited technical disclosure.

Recognized with an honorary PhD from Gombe State University and employed as a lecturer, Hadi’s over 78 inventions, including a Vespa-engine helicopter that crashed in 1971, highlight a self-taught genius overlooked by global innovation hubs, raising questions about resource allocation for grassroots inventors.

1. How did he think them up without formal education?

2. Oyibos have already done those and refined them. There is nothing new under the sun.

even though over 70 precent of earth is made of water, using water as a fuel isnt actually advisable.

No way water will power a stove. The only way to generate energy from water is to break down the water into oxygen and hydrogen gas and then use the hydrogen to generate energy. Meanwhile, you still need a tremendous amount of energy to split the water into these two components.

There is nothing new under the sun, the only error I saw in your statement is the "Oyibos".

Maybe not at the moment. With scarce resources, that tech will be available, trust me!
