The Invention, a noiseless generator that uses only water to generate electricity
Mbah Amadou, a young Cameroonian who hails from the North region has invented a water-powered generator which electrifies his home. Discovered by Steve Fah, the generator was tested in his very own eyes and it powered two fans, an air-condition and a TV.
“This inspiration came as a revelation. With the problems my mother faced, since she was going cold products”. He said, he has been working on the project for the past 4 years and it costed him over 13 million francs to finally succeed. He says he can power the whole village with the water-generator but what he lacks now is proper investment.
The genesis of hydropower became an electricity source in the late 19th century, a few decades after British-American engineer James Francis developed the first modern water turbine. In 1882, the world’s first hydroelectric power plant began operating in the United States along the Fox River in Appleton, Wisconsin.
