A 26-year-old secondary school graduate, Emeka Nelson, may just be on track to becoming a big household name in his native Nigeria after he recently invented a generator that runs on water.
Personally surprised that he was able to develop such an innovation, the non-certified young man has been attracting a lot of attention following this feat, especially since he has no background in engineering.
He shared the good news on his 1kva (1000 watts) portable hydroelectric generator on Twitter.

I've got something that will definitely interest you. A water powered electric generator.
But that is not what makes the attention he has been receiving an even better one: the ingenious Emeka has also invented quite a few things too. The other more popular one is a machine that converts waste into petrol and diesel, reports the BBC.
The remarkable machine has been designed to be as portable as the hydroelectric generator.
"I'm still wondering if I actually did this."
Meet the 26-year old Nigerian secondary school graduate who built a generator that runs on...WATER!
Beat that
