A pressing iron that operates without electricity or coal, but makes use of gas to power itself is much more of an idea that has not been immensely appreciated duely all over the World.
Ayokunle Adeniran, a Nigerian designed a gas powered pressing Iron referred to as The Rhino Iron. It is a Butane Gas in a canister that serves as its energy source once fixed in the Iron like a battery which can power the iron for up to one week with daily usage of at least 20 minutes.
As a Mechanical Engineer from West Africa where power generation is way lower than the power consumption, this prompted Mr.Ayokunle to design the Master Piece which is one of the very long term solution ti the incessant power supply in the Region.
One of the most valuable information gathered is that, this canisters are very affordable to it's lowest possible means at NGN 120 ($0.33). A company in China manufactures this Butane Gas Canisters for mass Retailing.
A two years hard work of making the first prototype with the patent filing and processing taking another four years, this young man turned his frustrations into innovation after a disappointing encounter with rumpled outfit on an outing with his Dad. This had been the driving factor for the young Engineer who has solved one of the crucial problems in West Africa.
good innovation, feel like having more que on it so I can introduce other people to it. Good one I most say.
Thanks mate
Wow this is amazing @tj4real and @xpency and @ogoowinner and @stellabelle and @thejohalfiles need to see this! wow i read old popular science decades ago in school about micro gas tubrine engines to power laptops where u could spray a can of butaine where the battry would be and u coudl refil a small tank and a small gas turbine and egnerator could power your device
shit maybe we need to make tiony gas turbine generators for power so peopel could buy gas and just run their laprops for days
I believe we should find RC car motors, hook them up to small electricity generators with magnets and wire it up to an inverter so you can plug in a smartphone, or laptop, it would be great! we could allow someone to have power for a smartphone using a tiny little gas engine, one you could fit ion your pocket with a tiny little gas tank...they can be operated in teh window and theyll be loud but they can charge up a battery and we can then just use the battery of the smartphone or alptop, and get extra battery packs, because solar is good for the day but people may need power at night and also these can be cheaoper than solar and can power a whole house really, a small luttle gasoline motor would be great because everyone can purchase gasoline evrrywhere and its still relatively cheap so we should niot discunt fossil fuels
I believe they must have Read it.
@stellabelle ain't African you know that right?
Why would she be? Im not african either....so what? Johal isnt either, why does that matter?
Its all good were gonna be helpin a lot of people @stellabelle has the connections and resources to really get alot of good done its gonna be really cool , wel be planting the seed and well be able to watch these trees of generosity grow
That was in response to "she should read this" but my take is not to publicize too much of help rendered!
