Nigerian Undergraduate Student Builds a Helicopter

A 24 year old Nigerian student has been working on his helicopters project using scrap from airplane, cars and motorbike.

Mubarak Muhammed Abdullahi a Physics undergraduate student makes money from repairing computers and mobile phones. The money he gets from this is channeled to his helicopters project.

The yellow model took him eight months to build.

The chopper is 12 metres long and is powered by a Honda Civic 133 horsepower engine. The highest it has flown is 7 feet high

A camera beneath the chopper connected to a small screen on the dash gives the pilot ground vision, and he communicates via a small transmitter.

In his words "flying the aircraft is not hard". “You start it, allow it to run for a minute or two and you then shift the accelerator forward and the propeller on top begins to spin,” he explains. “The further you shift the accelerator the faster it goes and once you reach 300 rpm you press the joystick and it takes off.”

Presently, Mubarak is working on a new machine which he says will have the ability to fly at 15 feet for three hours.







Nice innovation! Kudos

  1. Brand name teeth whitening pre-brush rinse costs around $4 for
    a 24-32 ounce bottle. Low thyroid function can also cause tinnitus
    and result in hearing strange noises, such as clicking,
    ringing, or buzzing sounds or the sound of running water.
    After just one 30-minute session using the strips, I could actually clearly
    see a difference.

  3. Stores that offer rewards to those who shop there often are places
    to attain good Playstation 3 deals. Seeing their popularity, Sony wanted in on it and created Play - Station Home - a virtual world that jets Play - Station Network users create personalised avatar, have their own
    apartment (called Personal Space), meet other players etc.
    The PS3 also lets you surf the Internet, search information, watch You - Tube videos, or download
    updates or pictures with Play - Station Home.

  7. Open ‘Network Connections’ and right click on the wireless network connection
    and select properties. And that is the key point for making Nintendo to revolutionise
    complete console gaming by making it more replicate sports, active like other
    famous games such as golf, table tennis, basketball ball
    etc. It'll also be necessary to spend more time on Xbox Live because
    custom content, patches, and other downloadable content
    needs to be stored somewhere and a little 64MB memory card isn't going to
    cut it.

  9. So if you are looking for simplicity then stick to gba roms and emulators
    cause they will never disappoint. Custom PS3 logos are available in chrome, black
    chrome, rose gold, white gold, 24K gold or platinum.
    And that Sony fans can look forward to Final Fantasy being a Playstation
    exlcusive, right.
