Three of the four inventors of the urine-powered
generator (Eric Hersman)
Four African girls have created a
generator that produces electricity for six hours using a single liter of urine
as fuel.

The generator was unveiled at last week’s Maker
Faire
in Lagos, Nigeria, by the four teens Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele
Abiola, and Faleke Oluwatoyin, all age 14, and Bello Eniola, 15.

So how exactly does the urine-powered
generator
work?

  • 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.

And as for delivering the fuel itself? Well, we’ll
leave that up to the consumer.

The Maker Faire is a popular event across the
African continent, drawing thousands of participants who travel to Lagos to
show their inventions and other practical creations.

As the Next
Web
describes it, the Maker Faire is intended to highlight creations “that
solve immediate challenges and problems, and then works to support and
propagate them. Put another way, this isn’t just a bunch of rich people talking
about how their apps are going to change the world.”
