A 26-year-old Nigerian man, Emeka Nelson, built a generator that operates mainly on water.

Nelson invented the water-powered generator despite lacking formal education or engineering certification.

The inventor said the generator has a maximum capacity of 1000 Watts and a voltage ranging between 220 and 240.


It also has the potential to challenge conventional power-generating methods in Nigeria.

He disclosed the generator has powered his 2-bedroom apartment in Awka, Anambra State.

The 26-year-old also said a litre of clean water can power the generator and supply energy for 6 hours.

The young innovator shared the good news during an interview video with BBC Africa last year.

He also added that he worked on the project for 16 years at the time of his interview with BBC.

Nelson said his invention is environmentally friendly and also addresses safety concerns associated with traditional gasoline generators.

Speaking about the passion behind the invention, he said he lost a friend at the age of 12 as a result of a generator fumes incident.

This drove him to work diligently until he developed an alternative to the use of gasoline generators.

Nelson has also invented a machine that converts waste into petrol and diesel, as well as into tiles and roofing sheets.

In the interview, he said “This generator that uses water instead of petrolーthat fuel that sometimes is almost as expensive as goldーdo not entirely render petrol useless. But if you no longer have to worry about petrol, why not?”

What do people who have a degree invent?

This is a challenge to all of you!

Why should electrical, mechanical, chemical and power engineers still depend on NEPA power?

What did they learn in school?

Super story

As i see the name of the OP, i know say na one Bigot and i know where hin dey go

Intelligence, knowledges and wisdom are evenly distributed among all humans and it has never be proven to only domiciled in a particular tribe or region, at least not scientifically confirmed nor has it been been philosophically true

Congrats Emeka, I wish The FG can just empower him

A hundred of this guy and we are good to go in Nigeria

And Where's the invention?

Another snake oil .no explanation of how he takes out energy from the water ..

Is he using water as a mechanic or water as some sort of fuel ?

Where the video of the invention running na

Sounds like bullshit to me.

It is a lie from the pit of hell.

Only the illiterate like him will give him accolades because electricity generation is based on the fundamental principles.

Visit a psychologist, na you get problem and try to achieve something in your life as soon as possible even if na to pregnant woman.

It must be them

Sometimes I wonder if you normally leave your brain somewhere else.


Oya go tell him to make yours so that you can use 4 liters of clean water to power your house for 24 hours.

I thought initially that he generates electricity maybe from a DIY water turbine generator but then I came to see 1 liter of water for 6 hours to power his 2 bedroom house and I became stunned and completely numb.


and some sheep on this thread already believe it eg. Ereluroz 🤣

Stop using a word whose meaning you don't know. I put it to you that you don't even know what an illiterate means, and you couldn't invent anything after spending 5 years in school.
