A young boy has become a viral sensation in the online community following his mind-blowing invention.
A Twitter user named Joshua Gabriel Oluwaseyi shared the story of the talented kid on Twitter, which quickly went viral.
According to Oluwaseyi, the teenager managed to build a replica of the popular heavy loading truck known as a Caterpillar. Even more interesting about the creation is the fact that he displayed a knowledge of hydraulics by building it to be powered with the use of a syringe and water.
In the video post shared, the smart kid was seen putting his invention to work as onlookers stopped by to gaze at what he created. Sharing the post, Oluwasheyi said: "So this Nigerian teen from Akwa Ibom created this Caterpillar which he controls with water and syringe. This was filmed in Uyo state secretariat. Please retweet until his talent matters." See the post below:

this is pure hydraulics or pneumatic depending if it's air or water that's used to actuate the moving part. This boy needs to be developed and his works carefully studied. Innoson motors should monitor closely

The energy he is pushing with his hands is why we still need fossil fuel, electricity or a solar battery. Water doesn't power on its own except a large flow of water. But very very impressive!
