BNM da innovator

Mamadu Ndulador Bah’s initial dream was to become a pilot but later dropped that dream of his, poverty, unavailability of Aviation Schools in Sierra Leone, and support to further his education. At the age of nine, Mamadu started developing toys. “I didn’t learn innovation from anyone. I learned it all by myself, it’s self-taught, and also it’s an inspiration from God. It’s in me,” he told The African Dream in an interview. In 2012, while watching a movie titled ‘Merlin’ when their generator eventually went off at the interesting scene of the movie due to lack of fuel. Mamadu became frustrated as he went to his room and began to think if he can do something extraordinary like creating a fuel-free generator. The journey to invent a fuel-free generator began. He asked colleagues and family members if it was possible to make a fuel-free generator, and their reply was negative. They told him a “black man cannot do it.”

But Mamadu didn’t let those words pull him down. In 2015, during the Ebola epidemic, he invented his first fuel-free generator prototype but it had noise and produced Carbon dioxide, which is not good for the planet. So he decided to invent a fuel-free generator that is free from CO2 and noise pollution. The generator does not use fuel, water, or solar energy – it is mind-blowing.

“I invented a fuel-free generator that uses no fuel, no water, and no sun-power to put it on, and also it is sound-free and CO2-free. What prompted me to invent a fuel-free generator was, when I was nine years old I was watching my favourite movie called ‘Merlin’ when our generator went off at an interesting scene of the movie due to lack of fuel. I became frustrated and angry. I went to my room and began to think if I can do something extraordinary like creating a fuel-free generator. So I started bringing up these ideas on how to do it. In 2015, during the Ebola epidemic, I invented my first fuel-free generator prototype but it had noise and produced CO2. So I decided to take advantage of the global pandemic and ‘stay at home to invent a fuel-free generator that is free from CO2and noise which could be environmentally friendly and which won’t affect our planet – which I invented this year using most of my ‘no school’ free-time. Another thing that also prompted me to invent a fuel-free generator was my community. In the community where I live, there is no access to electricity, and most of my colleague students are also deprived of access to electricity which makes it very difficult to study at night. So I had to think of something creative and environmentally friendly that will help salvage the situation in my community.”

When you look at these generators that uses fuel, they have a lot of negative effects like the release of carbon monoxide that affects our climate and also our health. They are also agents of noise pollution. So I wanted to create something environmentally friendly and health-friendly which won’t affect our climate and our health – so I decided to invent a fuel-free generator that is free from noise and CO2 and one that is 100% non-renewable.”

This is a prototype, It has a voltage of 220V. It can power an 18 inches flat-screen TV and also it can charge mobile phones. It can power any electrical gadget with 500Watts.”

I want to be the Elon Musk in Africa, perhaps do more than him. I have something greater in me that will compete with him. I want to create 100% non-renewable cars, planes, trains, and so on. I just want to change the world and save it from the things that are affecting it; like global warming.”

One is sponsorship, and two is the unavailability of equipment and training. I don’t have the actual partners to team up with and create something big than this. I need sponsors to help me get the required training. With that, I can do something even bigger than this. My innovation ideas are to help change my community, country, and the world at large. So I believe if I have the required training and education, I will accomplish my dreams that will change the world.”

Please sir I want you to support me to get the required education and training. I can do much better than this. All I need is sponsorship and help me attain the required level of training and education that I need. I am ready to be the next Elon Musk of Africa!!!”USA TODAY
