The students, all girls aged between 14 and 15 years old created the power system and ran it for six hours with just 1 litre of urine at the Maker Faire Africa.
The girls who invented the urine-powered generator
The girls Duro-Aina Adebola (14), Akindele Abiola (14), Faleke Oluwatoyin (14) and Bello Eniola (15) created a system in which urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which separates out the hydrogen. The hydrogen then goes into a water filter for purification and goes 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 to produce electricity.
Duro-Aina, one of the young inventors, explained that the invention was borne out of their interest to create a clean energy
