Nigerians have been demonstrating to the rest of the world that the country is gifted with many talents and is home to many creative minds.
When we thought we'd seen it all, Ernest Collins, an 18-year-old who developed from the ground up, proved us wrong. A silent, fuel-free, smoke-free, and engine-oil-free generator that can power a house.
Ernest Collins Onyekachi, who hails from Anambara state, Ekwulobia, said he is good at electrical engineering. "I design circuit boards, build inverters, and also install solar," Ernest said in an exclusive chat with Strenuousblogs.com.
Strenuousblogs.com pictured the young Igbo engineer when he was showcasing what he had built in the streets of Aba, the commercial city of Abia State.
The young engineer who just finished elementary (SSCE) said the rechargeable solar generator was developed with plastic pipe and some electrical components like Vera Board, Resistor, Capacitor, IC, Diode, Regulator, LED, Veritable Resistor, MOSFET, Heat Sink, Motor, Non Polarized Capacitor.
"I made the transformation myself using wood, a solar panel, and a 12 volt 18 amp battery," he explained.
He added, "My project produces 220 volts, which can power a building and also play music, radio, and has a remote control."
