The 13-year old lad must have been pissed with the epileptic power supply across Nigeria. The ceaseless blackouts he imagined, meant that most Nigerians (the poor) won’t get to cool-off during a severe heat.
Thus, he started thinking about alternatives that would serve the purpose of the conventional electric fan, which wouldn’t rely solely on electricity, and at the same time, within the financial ability of the many low-income families in Nigeria.
Eventually, Micheal designed and built a battery-operated fan which can run for almost 24 hours.
Cool huh? I know.

Wiredbugs understands that Michael built the fans with aluminum and wire. Speaking, he asserted that his creations are the outcome of practical and creative work.
“Blue Wind Production,” he said, “is all about creativity that deals with science and technology which base on practical and creative work.
“Sometimes things get hurt and hard. And sometimes, it seems better than you (imagined).
