Feel free to hit us with your own questions and problems to be solved anytime. . ranging from mathematics, archeological history, physics, chem and astronomy. . .any scientifically inclined question is welcomed here… … I am happy to see women with interest in science especially in this country plagued by scientific ignorance amongst the youths

RobinHez:
this guy and his '96% ignorant youths' sha

The state of many nairalanders on science is nothing to write home about at all

you know, she probably might not comment again.
in other news, i need some help.
I want to accelerate my degree program, which i hope to begin this year at unilag. I intend to spend three years instead of four. I heard that this has in fact been acomplished before. By professor ayodele awojobi. (he is on wikipedia) and i was wondering how i can go about it. I need the extra one year for miscellanous activites. Which i do not intend to juggle with a degree program.

Can you help me out here?

johnydon22:
Not really bro, i too in fact have intention for this only that i have athletic scholarship to a school in U.S just the embassy keep delaying me but i will soon get through tho

Teempakguy:

Na you dey derail your thread o. No be me abeg.

By the way, a fuelless generator is a generator that does not use fuel. Mine does
Hydrogen.

RobinHez:


now u have a generator? but it uses hydrogen.....

anyways, lets hear the guy out, maybe johnydon22 could help out too.


btw, fuel is synonymous with petrol in naija

johnydon22:
Any combustible energy source is fuel. . . Firewood, gasoline, petrol, hydrogen, kerosene, helium too. . . all are fuels.

Teempakguy:
preach it, bro.
Although, helium is not combustible.

johnydon22:
Helium burns in stars through a process known as Triple alpha process where three helium nuclei collides to form a carbon nucleus

Teempakguy:
that is not a chemical reaction. It is fusion. But still, review the idea up there.

johnydon22:
I understand tho...Just saying helium could be used as fuel through the Helium-3 nuclear fusion

Teempakguy:
okay, let him come nah

My design . . . or at least, the one I like best, is a hydrogen combustion turbine. The hydrogen is ignited and the expansion energy is used to turn a turbine which is used to turn a turbine.

My next best idea, is a geothermal energy concept, pictured below. Isobutane is the working fluid. I scribbled it on a board during a vigil.

Cc lorddice, johnydon22,

LORDDICE:
mine is pretty simple... It works on d principle of an inverter More or less

Teempakguy:
simple is cool.
Is it solid state or rotary?

Teempakguy:
Robinhez don run away.

RobinHez:
sorry, was attending to some piano teachers here...why would i run?

Dude, I am also at the piano! Double double.

Teempakguy:
fuel means nonrenewable power source nah. if he is going to build a fuelless generator, it is most likely to be a perpetual motion machine.

RobinHez:
first...work ur drawing skills and ur writting
dat been said, it looks like a good concept, but on large scale....we cant make this portable for the average user, can we?

turbines like d ones we use in the dams?

Teempakguy:
my writing and drawing is like that because if the surface. I actually draw quite well.

Now, I don't support personal power production. And even johnydon22 should agree with me oin this. A centralized power plant is cost effective and uses a lot less land.
However, should you want a personal power source, refer to my first idea.

RobinHez:
ok...lemme break it down for u....
i need a gen that i wouldnt queue in filling station for....

RobinHez:
as a good inventor, u should put the population into consideration....would a centralized power plant(which i believe is the government's responsibilty) be more accepted? or would people love to have their personal units? dont invent what only u would eventually be able to use

and a good artist would be known irresprctive of the available surface

Teempakguy:
hmmm
How would you like a power source that is in form of a battery that can power your whole house and only needs to be repaired by the company and is only as big as a 12.5 kg gas cylinder?

I have a concept along that line. Wanna hear It?
