 Meet 72-Year-Old Dr Usman Hadi Who Invented Water Stove “No Kerosene, No Gas” in Gombe State

Dr. Usman Hadi, a 72-year-old from Gombe State, Nigeria, invented a water-powered stove using no kerosene or gas, a breakthrough developed over three years without formal education, challenging the narrative that advanced innovation requires Western schooling, as detailed in a 2023 Punch Nigeria article.

His creation leverages water’s chemical properties—likely through electrolysis or combustion of hydrogen extracted from water—to generate heat, a process supported by studies like a 2019 Journal of Cleaner Production paper on hydrogen energy, though his exact method remains unverified due to limited technical disclosure.

Recognized with an honorary PhD from Gombe State University and employed as a lecturer, Hadi’s over 78 inventions, including a Vespa-engine helicopter that crashed in 1971, highlight a self-taught genius overlooked by global innovation hubs, raising questions about resource allocation for grassroots inventors.
