Ghanaian invents “Electric Cream” for energy
Accra, July 27, Ghanadot/GNA – Mr
Paul Karikari, 55, has invented an “Electric Cream” that
generates intense heat of up to 100 degrees Celsius within
four minutes, intended to solve the energy problems of the
country.
The electric cream, a greyish lotion-like stuff has
aluminium, edible oil, caustic soda and water as its active
ingredients.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Accra on
Monday after a competition organized by the Council for
Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) as part of their
50th Anniversary, Mr Karikari, a trained teacher who hails
from Bekwai in the Ashanti Region, said the “Electric Cream”
was a multi-purpose product which powered certain prototype
items for domestic use.
The competition, which seeks to unearth the innovations of
Ghanaian inventors, has 14 entries left after screening the
initial 20 entries. The screening would continue until three
innovators emerge as the final winners.
He said stage one of his innovation had ended with prototype
items such as iron, food warmer, cutlery sterilizer, plumber
plastic pipe bender, water and egg boiler and a messaging
bottle modelled for prospective investors.
The “Electric Cream” has been tested and approved by the
Chemistry Department of the University of Ghana with
Professor Derrick Caboo as the reference.
According to the inventor, the Al metal in the cream also
begins to react and in less than 10 minutes heat begins to
generate and the amazing thing is that after two hours, when
the heat begins to drop, one needs to put three Alu-nodles
and one-eighth litre of water into the container, stir and
heating begins again.
The “Electric Cream”, he said, could be charged and
re-charged with water and Al-nodules for many years and
could become a new source of energy for the whole world
should an investor come his way.
Mr Karikari said of all the capabilities of the “Electric
Cream”, the iron and food warmer stood out for obvious
reasons.
“Let all the fires in the world go off, anybody in
possession of the “Electric Cream” will generate heat
anywhere with the afore-named products, including people in
the Polar region”.
He said the exothermic nature of the cream made it to
release electrons which the Department had advised him to
look for investors or physicists to help tap to produce
electricity.
“It is my greatest desire to get an investor who will buy
into my invention to solve the energy crisis of the country
and beyond,” Mr Karkari said.
