It is rare to see Africans rejoicing in each other’s success, and I have noticed it is especially difficult for South Africans. This entire superiority complex exists amongst Africans, it’s as if we try so hard to beat each other instead of encouraging each other. Further existing within a patriarchal Africa we hardly ever rejoice in the success of our females and another group of people the African community neglects are our youth despite them being the majority. This Women Genius Wednesday article covers those that our African community often forget, and this week Genius level presents four young Nigerian girls that have invented a urine powered generator. How is that for black girl magic?
Their invention first appeared in Lagos, Nigeria in November 2012 at the 4th annual Maker Faire, a Pan African Innovation Fair. Three 14-year-olds, Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, Faleke Oluwatoyin and 15-year-old Bello Eniola are the inventors.
The system separates urine into nitrogen, water and hydrogen. 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. The girls say that one litre of urine gives six hours of electricity. (https://www.niftyhomestead.com/blog/urine-powered-generator/)
