A team of Nigerian scientists has developed a generator, which does not use fuel and made with almost 100 per cent locally sourced material.
The device, known as “Fuel-less Electricity Generator,” was demonstrated at a one- day workshop in Osogbo on Saturday.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the workshop was organised by M-K Technology Nig. Ltd, Ibadan.
One of the organisers of the workshop, Akinyefa Ajibola, a computer scientist, said he and other scientists developed the machine.
He said there had been some efforts in the past to develop the machine but the team only had a breakthrough in December 2009.
According to him, it is a feat by the scientists aimed at tackling the problem of electricity supply in the country.
Ajibola called for a positive response from the government to enhance the mass production of the machine.
‘‘Unlike the existing electricity generating sets the device has no side effects. It does not fume and is noiseless.
‘‘It can also be used 24 hours non-stop, using dry cell batteries but it needs some rest once in a while to enhance its lifespan,’’ he said.
On the marketing, Ajibola said the company would need some capital to enable it to begin standard packaging of the product for public use.
‘‘We don’t sell the product now, we only train people to do it themselves but we may manufacture it for commercial purposes if the capital is there,’’ he said.
Two participants at the workshop, Messrs Babatope Lawal and Adeyemi Olu, lauded the initiative and advised the government to encourage the scientists.
This is interesting.
I hope the Nigerian Government or Afrikan investors will get involved in developing this generator and commercialize it-before the whole idea is stolen off from these Afrikan scientists/engineers.
Its ironical that Nigeria with all its crude oil and Afrika in general with all our sunshine and huge rivers are still at this low energy stage.
Maybe its not merely an irony. Its designed to be so….till we Afrikans say enough is enough for real.
This is just another moneymaking scam that I get hit with every day from these cretins.I also live in Africa and I know these bastards.Glen
You live in Africa and you don’t like these bastards as you say. Then take your pink-pale ass out of Africa before the African Sun strikes you dead with malignant melanoma!
Silly Albino wretch…

An oil rich country developing a battery operated generator……so the environmental costs u save on burning fuel will escalate in the production of dry cell batteries.
Another Nigerian scam I would say…… Otherwise its like watching cavemen ‘invent’ the wheel when their neighbours were already driving cars 🙂
In South Africa we have pioneered polymeric solar cells which have now been taken over by Germans and solar farms have already been constructed in North Africa…… a bit more realistic than a battery powered generator I think.
Blak-Indian Scientist Kalacha, tell me something:
What is the difference between a “battery operated geneator” as you call it and a “polymeric solar cells” [battery] operated generator?
I wait your answer.

comment by terrell ali bey ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,well tossed salsa it can start right here again where it left off last time when DR clyde king was being attacked right there an i replied right here but then bout a month later i see half my comments lifted from here an put on they own hindustanically homegrown blog site,black republican site did same thing WITHOUT MY PERMISSION ,not one had a comment back there AN I DIDNT go on even though they edited out half of what i said .I MEANT WHAT I SAID ABOUT DR CLYDE KING GETTING DISSED AN THE DALITS GETTING DISSED BY THESE NO ACCOUNT ATTACKS BY ACCOUNT DRACULA,,,WHO ARE THESE ALBION PEOPLE FROM AFRICA,NIGERIAN SCAM HUH you startin in on what yu may not be able to get out of red ruddy not my buddy ,yankee go home ,,oops you really dont have one except the first land of caucus we granted for the lepors , human leopards of disease , caucus of the asain caucasion , hindustan ,,the muurs dont want to hear about no germans taking over jack in africa no where, that yu are brazenly bragging about,,isnt britans taking over of your land how your people got to south africa,an BACK to africa period FROM AKEBULAN as they asked you join THEM in the rape an plunder of africa to make money where you couldn’t in your own land , both OF your position purpose an presence in Africa yesterday and today is no moor than that of a nuva ring in a womans vagina.
do any one know the methodalogy which they are using to generate power?
