See Nairaland 'scientists' postulating and calling a black man's invention a scam using white mans science theory without trying to find out the main idea behind his invention.

If it was a white mans idea there wouldn't have been any debate. We are cursed with inferiority complex and consumerism.

I read through the comment and confirmed that truly, the standard of education within the country had fallen.

It produces ethyne (acetylene) gas, which mixes with oxygen at the burner, is ignited, and burns.

This is used by welders and panel-beaters all.over the world.

Leave science discussion to scientists. This so-called invention is a scam. 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.

At this point, Africa may have a secret ingredient somewhere that can break down these molecules with little or no energy instead of electrolysis method.

These our useless native doctors will not ask their deity how to do it... Na to dey find people to kill na him dey Sabi.

If this man is saying something close to this we will know he is serious for now, what he is doing is complete trash.

If it's not a scam then why has it not been verified by an independent scientific body?!

Not everyone here is ignorant.

I got As in Physics and Chemistry in my WAEC in secondary school over 30 years ago and I did not pick them free on the ground!

It is easy for anyone to invent impossible machines.

Just make the claim. If asked how it works, tell them you dont want to lose the idea to theives.

Why arent you scaling it with private investors, they say it is only Nigerian government they want. Isnt that wonderful?

You don't need formal education to receive inspiration.

In fact, formal education is likely to stifle creativity.

Every human being is capable of receiving these ideas but most of us are not listening.

MadamExcellency:
Maybe he is using the principle of a biodigester.

Yes, that's a possibility. So far, the water contains organic waste that can generate enough methane to power the stove. Meanwhile, the principle of anaerobic digestion isn’t new, so he can't claim to be an inventor in the real sense.

If this is what the OP referred to as a water-powered stove, then he erred. Although I condemn the man's effort, especially due to the fact that he is not formally educated. However, what this man constructed was called an acetylene-powered stove and it had been in existence for decades.

The first documented invention for an acetylene stove specifically for use in a cooking stove was made by Fritz Trendel, who patented his design in 1900. Nigerians love to celebrate nonsense!

I heard the man also made a radio transmitter and is transmitting live

Making a radio transmitter isn't a big deal, too. All you need is an oscillator to create the radio frequency carrier wave, a modulator to combine the carrier with the message signal, an audio amplifier or power amplifier to boost the signal strength, and an antenna to radiate the signal into free space. Bingo!

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

Indeed this is an invention. It's meant to be a wonder to many and to solve a problem that defies everyday reasoning

lol

this is funny. can water burn ? lol

d op obviously doesn't understand combustion

It is not the water that is burning, it is the hydrogen extracted from it that is undergoing combustion. Learn to to read.

That is what the op said. He said hydrogen extracted from water. Learn to read well

How can water support combustion ?

Hydrogen is extracted from water first, and then used for combustion. Learn to read before you yarn

Re: Meet 72-year-old Dr Usman Hadi Who Invented Water Stove “no Kerosene, No Gas” by Nobody: 6:27pm On Aug 08, 2025

Stop disgracing yourselves guys. The op didn't say it is the water used in the process that undergoes combustion, but rather the hydrogen gas extracted from it. Learn to read. Don't disgrace yourselves.
