The rocket-like car that was spotted in Ikoyi yesterday is said to be made by a graduate in Bariga named Durojaiye Kehinde Obasanjo (not related to the former president). He is a graduate of LASU and Lagos Electronics and computer engineering school. He started the project, called Amphibian Jet in 1995. It can be used on land, air and sea but he has only tested it on land and water. He did this on 3rd mainland bridge in 2013. He also said he had traveled with it from Lagos to Ibadan.
Amazingly, about 70% of the spare parts are locally produced, from the aluminum,plastic to the wood. It uses aerodynamics on sea.
The amphibian jet can be powered by both solar and petrol. Using solar energy, it travels 40km/hr, while using petrol, it travels 120km/hr on land and 140km/hr on sea.
Cool

ReplyDeleteMost times when we walk into big malls, boutiques, supermarkets, we never question their prices. We pay exactly what we see on the price tags and even hand out tips to the staff.
But the moment we are out of these shops and want to buy banana, our bargaining game gets off to the roof. Poor widow with 12 hungry children at home tells you banana is N100. She even takes out her time to explain how difficult it was for her to even buy it, how the economy is so tough.
But we insist that if it's not N50, we are not paying. Some of us even step back into our cars and make to drive away. But because 'half bread is better chin chin', this woman is forced to call you back and sell to you at little or no gain. In her heart, she cries, she's worried about how she'll survive with her children. She silently reassures herself that 'It's well.
God will definitely provide.'' While you happily chop the luscious banana. Take some seconds out and think about this, guys. Please don't bargain hard with small vendors like this. They do business not to buy designer bags, Gucci shoes but to LIVE and EAT!
Wonderful
