A young African boy has surprised many with his engineering prowess by building a moving truck out of wood and engine of a generator.
Although Africans lack the technological advancements that Western societies have, we have always used what we have to help ourselves.
The boy used his innovative and creative mind to create something amazing despite having just a few tools to work with.
Boy builds a Truck
Using a single container will be difficult to achieve as access to water can be very difficult, especially in locations close to the desert.
This young boy chose to ignore the rules. He constructed a truck that can move numerous water cans from one location to another using his mechanical engineering talents and technical knowledge.
The vehicle’s body was constructed using four wheels, a functioning mechanical motor, metal rods, and wood.
That turned out well for him because the device could easily deliver more than five 25-litre gallons to him.
He started the machine and even drove it outside in the video to demonstrate that it works perfectly. He considered that the road was bad and built it according to that.
Reactions: Giving mad max vibe
Netizens were so happy that an African boy could create such wonderful Technology; here are some comments:

@upinthestars93: Wowwwwww 🙌🙌🔥🔥 such talent, i wish he could get a chance to further that idea school wise, and become any huge car company. Smh so much talent but lack of support.heart, ❤️❤️
@missanaisvdk: There are some amazing engineers (hidden) in Africa, so much talent! We all need to start somewhere, 🙌
@jaraconnecthub: Giving mad Max vibe 😂
@he.is.kalu: Africa is underated! And most times we under rate ourselves
12-year-old girl builds a solar water purifier
Meanwhile, brilliant Mwangala Maunga was only 12 years old when she built a solar-powered water purifier for her community.
The young girl hails from Lusaka, Zambia and currently attends Roma Girls Secondary School; she’s also a child rights advocate.
The widespread presence of diseases which are transmitted by water called waterborne diseases in her community led to her innovation.
