After the 67-year Hadi made the way, another Nigerian produces a water-powered stove

 young Nigerian innovator Yusuf Shamsudeen produces a water-powered stove to help the populace deal with the increasing cost of gas and oil. The product could also help deal with climate concerns. He spoke to DW about the product, explaining the science behind it.

“When the air goes into the pressure bank which is an empty tank, the air expands and it is released at a very high pressure; so the force at which that air comes out and goes into the chemical container excites the chemical compounds to react and thus, they give a gas which goes into the container, reacts and gives a flammable gas at the burner,” Yusuf said.

This is not the first invention from Nigeria. Before Yusuf, a 67-year-old man, Hadi Usman made this same invention and promised to train a lot of people, especially the younger generation to take over. In a viral video shared by PRNigeria, Hadi demonstrated the stove.

He practically pumped air into a water container which then transfers a content through tubes to the stove on the receiving end to generate fire. Like the young man, Hadi explained that, his invention operates solely with air pressure and water instead of kerosene and gas

He called for support to mass-produce. “I wish relevant institutions and bodies can support towards patenting the project for mass production to at least help the without buying kerosene or gas to cook their food by using water,” he said in the first video.
