Locally made engine to facilitate growth of small industries

Makerere University on Thursday launched the first diesel engine manufactured in Uganda.
The one-stroke engine can be used for pumping water and generating electricity among other functions.
Speaking to NTV, Rogers Mubiru one of the brains behind the product says the engine was made from local materials, including clay, sand and aluminium.

Investing in research is the cornerstone for any country to develop. The government as a matter of urgency must increase budgetary allocation to all our universities and technical institutions. Development Banks should also partner with universities to fund viable research projects from universities that can lead to production and employment creation. Well done Makerere University.

All trueee...but what good is investing in research when we the government can buy tear gas and bullets to to remain in power!!.

But which makerere university are u talking about? I have been at makerere for 4 years in mechanical engineering but we as students we have never been involved in such projects why???

[@kintukiyaga9238]

I can't skip your info. Most pipo r misinformed, I worked with one govt body that was presenting data from another country

[@ayebarealexander8778]

Ugandans can even go to Jupiter with proper support from the government.

[@ssekarobert8247]

They would have made such engines and other machine long time ago

[@nsubuganaziru361]

More money should be injected in research

[@paipay7991]

Is he trying to explain how to make an engine?

[@ismaville]

Science is future. Artificial intelligence is taking over

[@mwinyimwenyi]

Artificial intelligence is the fourth industrial revolution. Africa has not even mastered the first. We do not produce steel from scratch...

[@rogersmubiru7306]

its true but at which level we as third world country cant just jump to another level before learning the first we are still awakening and growing ejjanzi telibuuka na nzige mukama wange

[@mwinyimwenyi]

Wake me up when every part of the engine is locally made. I mean everything then I will believe we are going somewhere. Nice try though...

[@rukirijoseph8768]

Brother even the US imports steel vital for the motor industry. We're living in an interconnected world

[@ismagguma7455]

You will need to come to makerere...cedat ecvrything is locally made here in uganda
