Nigerian invents stove that uses only water to cook
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian man had invented a stove that makes fire with only water. 67-year-old Hadi Usman's water-cooking stove is said not to require the use of gas or kerosene to generate fire.
PR Nigeria reports that the electronics technician's innovation was borne out of his desire to subsidize the cost of using gas and kerosene.
The talented man who had previously assembled a radio transmitter and operated a community radio station wants relevant institutions to help him get his innovation patented.
