I think he meant nepa electric or cable and socket...nigerians r not 2 good with words. Just ike referring to the electric sector as power sector.
Anyways kudos to the young man. If he were to be in japan dem for mold am 2 scientist extraordinnaire!!

AfroKnight:
What kind of olodo blogger is this?

The fan uses batteries but not electricity? Chai! Bloggers o.

Kudos young man. May your talents bring you2 all you desire.

This is one of the reasons why the igbos won't get any biafra. We need their technological know how to build a better and prosperous one Nigeria. The yoruba's are sophisticated and far ahead in academics and politics while the Igbo's knowledge of business and technology is second to none. The only constraint here is the north but we have to keep tolerating them cos the British handed over power to them and they are born to rule Nigeria. Biafra will never come. One nigeria we shall remain.

The yoruba's are sophisticated and far ahead in academics and politics.......

Do you know what you are saying??
That is a serious topic to debate on....

Lol by using motor and battery, well he try sha

My secondary school mate built a remote controlled car.. The remote was wireless..



#TrueStory..

Wow! Impressive

lordyugo:



u really dnt understand d concept of innovation. He was innovative with the scarce resources he had.
In the advanced world they value practicals more than theory , so I dnt knw whr u got that idea from.
dnt be self righteous wit ur " am a mechanical engineer crap" cos originality its virtually non existent in the science and technology world ds days rather modification nd advancement in existing technologies.
Africans and always putting dwn creative mindsets rather than employing those wit it.

I dare u to show me any country were or any multinational company that rate practical ahead of theory

kudos to the young man

Where are the Philanthropists to help establish this guy? His talent must not be wasted or himself exported to another country.

That ain't innovative.. I did that project single handedly in secondary school
The only difference is that he is using it to make money.
Thumbs up to the guy anyways

Nice innovation but who go buy goods without warranty?

Yes ooo, Afonja just landed.

Keep hating, inugo?

mrvitalis:

First of all what is innovation??
This technology is already in place,
the duration is only a function of the given battery

What has this added to engineering??

Lol those he even know what angle to tilt the fan?? Or u thing those angles are just chosen??

No wonder Nigerians value practicals over theory

Check the meaning of innovation and tell me if this is innovative

Mind u am a mechanical Engineer And this is my feild

.


Mechanical Engineer my ... And so? What have u ever produced or achieved to show for it. It seems another person's progress dey pepper you? The boy tried, period!

I hope d government dnt get blind.bcuz dey got blind anytym dey c a bright future civilian

Onegai:
Can we all stop chestbeating and boasting and on the other hand stop saying "it's not innovative"? Neither helps us. Who cares if he's 5% or he is not innovative, this young man has one skill we as a country called Nigeria needs:

He has the hunger for technical know-how. And if we are serious about manufacturing, about dollar being N1=$1, we will put our heads together to encourage his thirst for technical know-how and business.

So, does anyone have his contact, does he need a laptop? If someone is willing to fix up an old laptop, we can get one for him, and other can help to install Engineering and other relevant software on it for him (free). That's how to make this story relevant.

Nne don't fool yourself. You hear, if you day fine who go support am, no even think am for this naija.
The man is igbo, Hausas and tribalism na husband and wife, shay them go even allow am make em show skills? I'm a programmer even selling some software services here in Nigeria, either they demand letter from central bank or they bring up one very stupíd law, na em you strong mouth day talk this one? Your boyfriend give you small crack this morning? Talk true o

Amberon11:
What's not innovative about a teenager building a hand fan that can last for 15 hours if fully charged? This fan is suitable for the Nigerian clime. If China did it, you'd have appreciated it more.

Can you even draw a fan??

please check the meaning of innovation.
Thanks .

it's a creative work anyway. I appreciate that. But no no.. not an innovation

mrvitalis:
There is nothing innovative here tho

Let's stop celebrating rubbish, igbos are good in technology but not this, go to PRODA or siedi in enugu that's were u see igbo engineering not this rubbish

Mind u I am igbo too

oya show us your hand work! I neva see your name for nairaland frontpage before, stop hating so you can go far...haba! You aint ashame to form this is my field with a small boy...hmmmm naija sef, sha i blame buhari

Up naija. Good thinking good product. I beg add solar panel make he no use battery.

MR man .. You are no Igbo

May His grace support you in future. Unfortunately you may not be a politician's child. The governor and hìs group will not look your way because your group of inventors are better than their children so they feel threatend.

Stop deceiving yourself IGBOS are ahead of aFONJAS in terms of education, aFONJAS are like Liverpool fans... They still dwell in their old glory. Wake up IGBOS are ahead of aFONJAS

MadCow1:



You see.. No one is knocking his hussle..


But we just need people to cool down like this Nigga just invented the Atom Bomb.

I have built something like this as a kid.. A fan that operated on batteries.. But kudos to him for trying to build it into a commercial product.

U Don see d way English press dey hype their player wey

burros f-stop this hate na haba, this boy has lil or no support, peeps you meNtioned
have. so
cmon
appreciate him.

Title of your Post is VERY STUPID!

Battery power is ELECTRICITY! Don't you know anything?

If you had said that he made a fan that worked without MAINS ELECTRICITY, I should not have bothered viewing your post, because there is nothing new about that.

THERE IS SUCH A THING AS MOTORS WHICH OPERATE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY.

There is a design of motor that exploits properties of Magnets that care carefully censored from publicly-released textbooks.

It uses 92 magnets- which might be impossible for most experimenters to obtain in Nigeria.

[See: THE SECRET WORLD OF MAGNETS, by Howard Johnson.]

There are techniques of making engines and generators that require no input to sustain them, whose power apparently comes from nowhere.

These are OVERUNITY PERPETUAL-MOTION devices, and they are BANNED by the American Patent Office.

Anyone who builds them, THERE, is in danger of assassination.

Show me a single one you and those that likes/shares your post have ever done. No matter how it may be he has done better than you and will go far than you. Be quite and be happy for the littel lad.

i agree.. the igbos and yoruba have so much in common.
the northern elites are the bane of progress in nigeria.

"Without electricity" yet with a battery

How these bloggers dey reason sef?? Na wa oo!

segun400:
The young boy, Mr. Ukoma Michael hails from Ideato north, L.G.A in Imo state but resides in Aba with his parents.


He built a handmade fan using wire meshes which can be powered with a battery. I hear the fan can last for 19 hours if well charged.

He already has his fans package in cartons for sale. .

Ukoma says his vision is to have a company of his own that will specialize in producing fan and aircraft.


Below are some of Ukoma's inventions.

Good one, he is even dreaming of making aircraft
