According to our gathering this week,it's revealed that A young Nigerian student doing his last year in electronic and electrical engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, has built a car operating on solar power.
the 30 years old Segun Oyeyiola explains In an interview to allAfrica.com ,Segun spoke about how he came up with the idea and eventually embodied it. He confessed his first motivation was to eradicate the causes of climate change resulting in fuel combustion.
"In the course of my research, I found out that our regular cars contribute immensely to climate change… If we could manufacture cars that do not use fuel or reduce the number of cars that use fuel; our world will be a better place for us to live in."
car uses both wind and solar energy for the functioning, The Net reports. Moreover, the man developed an application for its installation in the car, which app will inform the driver about the battery level, weather conditions and other essential parameters.
He also explained that the resulting model is a prototype, but not the final look of the car. Segun hopes to develop his project into a future car for Nigeria and Africa, as it is created with regard to our climate.
which is similar to an invention by one Prof. Omoleye of Covenant University Department of Chemical Engineering Canaanland about 3 years ago where he invented a very fast electric car,power bike and recently a Tri-cycle.the only difference is that the one here uses both solar and electrical.
In conclusion the 30-year-old urged youths to look for solutions to the global problems and never stop learning something new.
