The Wizard of Nairobi

Dominic turns to a rather curious energy source to replace unsustainable wood fuel consumption. The best part? The potential of this new energy source lies dormant in each and every living organism with no shortage in sight.

Inventor Dominic Wanjihia uses the influx of motorcycle taxis in Kenya to his advantage and engineers a clever battery-charging device. Instead of worrying about travelling to a charging station, why not have the taxi charge the battery directly?

Inventor Dominic Wanjihia devises a way to triple the efficiency of a standard solar panel. As only 20% of all Kenyans are on the grid, every extra bit of energy generated by a solar panel can make a life-changing difference.

Inventor Dominic Wanjihi and his Evapocooler provide farmers with a much-needed way to preserve their crops. In Africa, around 70-80% of vegetables go bad because of the hot climate, but this invention strives to preserve the fruits of every harvest.

In order to preserve the natural habitat of Kenya’s wildlife, inventor Dominic Wanjihi devises a motorcycle-powered drill that gives homeowners an affordable way of collecting potable water right from their property.
