Fourteen-year-olds Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, and Faleke - TopicsExpress



          

Fourteen-year-olds Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, and Faleke Oluwatoyin, and 15-year-old Bello Eniola displayed their invention this week at Maker Faire Africa in Lagos, Nigeria, an annual event meant to showcase ingenuity. Here’s how the urine-powered generator works, as explained by the blog on the makerfaireafrica website: • Urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which separates out the hydrogen. • The hydrogen goes into a water filter for purification, and then into a gas cylinder, which looks similar to the kind used for outdoor barbecue grills. • The gas cylinder pushes the filtered hydrogen into another cylinder that contains liquid borax, in order to remove moisture from the gas. Borax is a natural mineral, commonly used in laundry detergent.
