Erik Kariuki, a father-of –three has
joined the list of Kenyan inventors. Karuiki who is based in
Bedfordshire, UK combined a hamster cage with a fish tank and now pet
companies are making calls to cash in. He came up with this idea when
he visited a restaurant, built under water in Dubai. The cage/tank,
as he likes to refer to it, literally is designed in a way that a pet
can have a wet-free aquatic view of the fish. Kariuki turned down a
$1.2 million(Sh98millon) from a US company and is vindicated that his
idea would yield more. Hope to see one in a shop nearby.
Other Inventions by Kenyans include:
Crime-Deterring Alarm, which is an
alarm that fits onto the back of a TV set or an appliance at home. It
is then set off with detection of movement and can sound for up to 8
hours.
Solar-Powered Refrigerator, a portable
refrigerator is expected to be used in rural homes without
electricity.
Charcoal Stove ‘Solar Jiko’,
invention credited to George Kabiru is used to making cooking easier
for homes without electricity by harnessing solar power.
These are just a handful of inventions from
Kenya.
