If MIT is really that interested he won't have any loans. He shouldn't have any loans. These are the kinds of minds we need to give all the resources to. Let him see how far his potential can take him. Maybe he's the guy who makes clean energy and saves the planet. Who knows.>> ^vaire2ube:

I didn't see anything. He put together scraps to make dodgy equipment. Is there any universal application? Maybe...but I haven't seen anything beyond a bit of good ol' fashioned ingenuity.

Back in 1993, I remember this guy with a bad leg, living in a slum in Freetown (Sierra Leone's capital), in a tiny room plastered with Bollywood and Hong Kong B-movie posters, and whose door was made of pieces of cardboard glued together. He didn't have much.
He was called "Prof" Abubakar and made a living creating and selling steel wire sculptures from stuff he was scavenging off the streets. You're probably thinking of African steel wire toys, but his were crazy, there was nothing like it. They were incredibly complex, animated, spring-loaded, or with some sparkling devices.

Some years later, someone I knew came across him. He was exposing at the Pompidou centre in Paris.

Two decades later, it's like Kelvin Doe is his Internet-era spiritual son. I hope he does as well.

[EDIT]
Correct name: Abu Bakarr Mansaray (bio | one of his contraptions). He now lives in the Netherlands.
