A
Grade 12 student in Namibia’s Ohagwena region has invented a sim-less phone
that allows users to make free calls and even watch one TV channel.
Simon
Petrus, a student at Abraham Iyambo Senior Secondary School, created the phone
using spares from a phone and television set.
Complete
with a light bulb, fan and charger socket, the phone functions off power
supplied through a radiator and is able to make calls to anywhere through the
use of radio frequencies. Waoh
The
invention, which is made up of a radio system, is attached to a box and also
allows the user to view one TV channel on it. He is also able to watch NBC1 TV
on his box.
No
stranger to the world of creation, young Simon is reported to have won a gold
medal at national level last year for his invention of a two-in-one machine
that works as both a seed drier and cooler.
The
shy young man has admitted to working on his invention for two years through
money provided by his struggling parents.
He
said he invented the phone with the hope it would be successful and be able to
be carried further.
