Four Nigerian teenage girls develop a urine-powered generator

Duro-Aina Adebola (14), Akindele Abiola (14), Faleke Oluwatoyin (14) and Bello Eniola (15) are Four Nigerian teenage girls who have created  urine-powered generator, Though could be a little dangerous..:-).

The girls invented a urine powered generator which was showcased at this year's Maker Faire Africa held in Lagos a few days back. Continue to see how it works....

According to Maker Faire Africa, an annual event which showcases inventions, the system works like this:

Urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which separates out the hydrogen

The hydrogen goes into a water filter for purification, which then gets pushed into the gas cylinder

The gas cylinder pushes hydrogen into a cylinder of liquid borax, which is used to remove the moisture from the hydrogen gas.

This purified hydrogen gas is pushed into the generator.

1 Liter of urine gives you 6 hours of electricity.

 Maker Faire Africa ended their report by saying - Along the whole way there are one-way valves for security, but let’s be honest that this is something of an explosive device…
