Durojaiye Kehinde Obasanjo, a graduate of electronic and computer engineering from Lagos State University has created an amphibious car.
According to eye witness, the car looks like a rocket. Obasanjo, not related to the former president claims the vehicle, named Amphibian Jet, can be used on land, air and sea. However, he has only tested it on land –driving from Lagos to Ibandan – and water. Approximately two thirds of the car’s spare parts are made of the materials that were obtained locally, including aluminum, plastic and wood.
It is noteworthy that it can be powered by both solar and petrol. Using solar energy, it travels 40km/hr, while using petrol, it travels 120km/hr on land and 140km/hr on sea.
