A pressing iron that operates without electricity or coal, but makes use of gas to power itself is much more of an idea that has not been immensely appreciated duely all over the World.
Ayokunle Adeniran, a Nigerian designed a gas powered pressing Iron referred to as The Rhino Iron. It is a Butane Gas in a canister that serves as its energy source once fixed in the Iron like a battery which can power the iron for up to one week with daily usage of at least 20 minutes.
As a Mechanical Engineer from West Africa where power generation is way lower than the power consumption, this prompted Mr.Ayokunle to design the Master Piece which is one of the very long term solution ti the incessant power supply in the Region.
One of the most valuable information gathered is that, this canisters are very affordable to it's lowest possible means at NGN 120 ($0.33). A company in China manufactures this Butane Gas Canisters for mass Retailing.
A two years hard work of making the first prototype with the patent filing and processing taking another four years, this young man turned his frustrations into innovation after a disappointing encounter with rumpled outfit on an outing with his Dad. This had been the driving factor for the young Engineer who has solved one of the crucial problems in West Africa.
