A ship loads of this talents are still waiting to be tapped! Despite the Socio-economical conditions in the continent, a handful of this intelligent youth still manifested with their innovative skills. It is the duty of a Nation to help develop local talents by all means, that is the way forward for any country that wishes to attain greatness. A college graduate with a degree in Electronic and Computer Technology; _**Augustine Otuokwa Ogar**_ by name has fabricated a minuscule Hydro-Electric Power station with a 200 Watts capacity which is capable of generating electricity for it's surrounding village together with the generating site of the Mini-plant. Located in Cross River State of Nigeria West Africa, in a village called Mgbaeshuo village of wula community; Eastern Boki, Boki Local Government. Mr. Augustine had used local materials carefully selected to meet the power generation requirement.

MODE OF OPERATION

![image.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1515517756/bvqzmmayn1amt5u0fm2v.png) After construction, Kinetic Energy of the Flowing stream/River was converted into Electric Energy usable/consumable by the villagers. >When the Turbine spins, the Electromagnetic Field converts the Mechanical Energy into Electric Energy. The flow rate of the stream water is slow because it is not a "Dam" or a waterfall, i was able to convert the small stream with low flowing water to bring pressure and fall like a real time Dam- Augustine Otuokwa The energy is produced on a little-scale with "run off" installation of a naturally flowing stream of water to rotate and spin the turbines. With speed, the water moves past the turbine; knocking it's blades and producing a rotational motion which converts the Kinetic energy of the water into Mechanical Energy. After this processes, the water flows out of the little stream and flows continuously down the stream.

A SOLUTION TO ENERGY CRISIS

Here is a solution to power generation privatization, only if the Government opens it's eyes and foster intelligent youths in every corners of the Country who could produce a long lasting solution to inconsistent Energy which is crippling the Economy of so many developing countries. ___ https://s1.postimg.org/17y3riz7z3/U5du5_C74d_Qqa83_YHg2_WPwuz_Kz79_R7v7.gif ___
