Dear Prospective Builder of Africa,
AN OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN BIRTHING THE FUSION ENERGY GENERATOR
1. I am Henry Iheanacho Eze. I hold a bachelor of science degree in Chemistry and two Master degrees in the social sciences. Since 2019, I have been researching the tool needed to improve the life of Black Africans. The greatest challenge facing Sub-Saharan Africa is shortage of electricity supply. It is a known fact that a steady supply of electricity for Sub-Saharan Africa has the potential to drastically improve the living conditions of its people. My knowledge of nuclear chemistry pointed nuclear fusion as the likely solution to Africa’s energy problems. I am therefore bringing you this offer which has the potential to make you an active builder in the development of Black Africa.
Nuclear Fusion as the Solution
2. Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the sun and stars. It happens when two light atoms fuse together to form a heavier atom, releasing a huge amount of clean energy in the process. Instead of burning fuel like coal or gas, fusion uses tiny atoms found in water and produces energy with no carbon emissions, no long-term radioactive waste, and essentially unlimited fuel. It has massive potential as fusion could power the world with just a glass of water providing enough energy for a person’s need for years. Its production has no risks of explosions or meltdown like in traditional nuclear plants. Governments and private firms worldwide are investing billions to be first in cracking fusion on Earth as early investment translates to early ownership of the future energy market.
3. As of 2024, global investment in nuclear fusion research has surpassed $7 billion, reflecting a significant surge in both public and private sector interest. Private sector funding alone has exceeded $12 billion, indicating strong confidence in fusion’s potential as a transformative energy source. Government funding has also seen substantial growth, with public investments increasing by 57% to $426 million within a year1. This heightened investment is driven by fusion energy’s promise of providing virtually limitless, clean, and safe power without the long-lived radioactive waste associated with traditional nuclear fission2.
My Nuclear Fusion Research
4. Using my background knowledge in nuclear chemistry, I developed a prototype nuclear fusion reactor in 2022. I call the prototype a fusion generator. A picture of the fusion energy generator is attached. The 1.5 meters tall device can be used to create controlled fusion reactions which would yield overall net energy more than that used for generating the reaction. The surplus energy will be used to generate cheap electricity for sub-Saharan Africa.

5. The fusion generator transforms fusion-generated heat into usable electricity through a turbine system. This setup is a key component in advancing energy technology and promoting sustainable development. Figure 2 below illustrates the real-world application of the fusion generator. The process employed in the generation of electricity from the fusion generator is completely novel and overcomes a number of challenges faced by other efforts at harnessing fusion energy.

6. After developing the generator and its real-world application, the project was introduced to the Defence Research and Development Bureau (DRDB) in Nigeria. The DRDB further introduced the project to the Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission (NAEC). The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) also endorsed the project. A steering committee was consequently established to examine the project. The steering committee examined the project and determined that it is worth testing. Thereafter, an implementation committee was established to implement the project. To that end, NAEC provided a site for the tests to be run as well as laboratory and workshop facilities at the Nuclear Technology Centre in Shedda, Kwali, Abuja. The facilities provided by NAEC has drastically reduced the overall cost for running the tests of the nuclear fusion generator.
7. Some components necessary for the tests have been bought. Additionally, a metallurgist has been contacted to produce the metallic parts necessary for the tests. The metallurgist is working under the The National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI). A description of the science of our intentions and efforts with pictures is displayed on this link. The present area requiring funding is for purchase of high heat-tolerant metals for building the prototype.
The Egypt Connection and Compelling Evidence for Success
8. In the course of my nuclear fusion research, I have come across strange but very compelling evidence which led me to believe this research would yield desired results. Based on my findings, I proposed a hypothesis that states “It is either we have lived this life we are living now in the past or we have the ability in the near future to travel to the past”. The images below which I stumbled upon from the walls of ancient Egypt informed this hypothesis.

Figure 4: Image depicting actions of Implementation Committee
9. To the untrained eye, these look like some ancient picture that makes no modern sense. However, I am able to decode all the signs in the hieroglyphs to represent all the actions and achievements of the Steering and Implementation Committees authorised by the DHQ, DRDB and NAEC. At the centre of the image of the Implementation Committee, the circle represents the sun as the symbol of fusion energy. These images depict the future we are currently living in. I think it would be worth the time, if you participate in making this future happen.
10. You may wish to know an interesting information about the 2 figures on that image. On the left is Heru (my name) and on the right is Seth. Working together, they unveil a nuclear fusion reactor. I am also called Heru in Indonesia, which is a modification of my name ‘Henry’. For thousands of years, folks could not see that this picture describes how to create fusion but I do. For a while, I have researched these images and I am pleased to inform you that the descriptions on it match my scientific research results on how to achieve nuclear fusion. We need to assemble the fusion generator parts and put it to a test as soon as possible.
Amount Required and Vehicle for Propagation
11. Initial estimate for the total cost of running the fusion generator tests was Five Hundred and Ninety-Five Million, Nine Hundred and Thirty-Six Thousand Naira. The site provided by NAEC for the experiment which has a workshop for foundry and casting as well as their available engineering staff expertise have drastically reduced the cost of the entire project. The current sum required to run these tests is Three Hundred Million Naira, (N300,000,000) only. The project is expected to be completed in a record time of 9 months due to the availability of manpower and support from the collaborating agencies.
12. The Business Model for the fusion generator is quite simple. The provision of electricity in rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa is the targeted mid to long term revenue-generating endeavours. In the short term, within the next 6 months, and based on the expected positive results, we will leverage Mission 300 and access over US$50 Billion already raised by the African Development Bank and the World Bank for the electrification of Africa. Additionally, we will reach out to willing countries and the gulf states to raise another US$50 Billion (via technology transfer) for associated infrastructure for our power stations (I envision the creation of rail lines to connect every fusion generator power station). This will enable us to expand rapidly and satisfy the anticipated demand from many African markets. A business entity which will be known as the Black Africa Nations Transformation Union (BANTU) Limited would be incorporated to coordinate the siting and distribution of power plants all over Sub-Saharan Africa.
Donors Value Proposition
13. This effort represents one of Africa’s most promising scientific undertakings. It is a real and practical shot at delivering clean, limitless energy through nuclear fusion. We have been privileged to receive commendable institutional support from the DRDB and NAEC, underscoring the scientific credibility and strategic importance of our mission. The fusion generator research presents an opportunity for everyone to contribute to the birthing of great science; a technology of the people, by the people and for the people!
14. We are strongly convinced that the future of energy in Africa can and should be built by Africans and those who believe in Africa’s potential. This is why we are calling on individuals, foundations, businesses, and the diaspora to JOIN HANDS in a first-of-its-kind crowdfunding initiative to ignite the flame of Africa’s energy revolution. The funds raised will go directly to initiating experimentation and proof-of-concept for a working fusion generator, with the end goal of transforming energy access across the continent.
15. In return for this early-stage commitment, contributors will be granted a stake in BANTU Ltd which will be tasked with the commercialization, distribution, and scaling of the fusion generator across Africa when incorporated. The ₦300 million being raised now will represent a 10% equity stake in BANTU Ltd. This positions the total projected value of the company at ₦3 billion. Accordingly, for every ₦1 contributed, a contributor secures approximately 0.00000033% equity stake in the company and for every ₦1 million contributed, a contributor secures approximately 0.033% equity stake in the company. Contributors who invest ₦30,000 or more will not only receive their corresponding equity allocation from the 10% pool, but will also be enlisted among the 144,000 founding members of BANTU Ltd. These individuals will be actively involved in shaping the future of fusion energy deployment in Africa. Every member of the 144,000 will be listed at https://africauniteonline.com/bantu-remembers/.
16. To ensure transparency and public engagement, all phases of the prototype development and testing will be streamed live on YouTube. Please subscribe to our Youtube channel. This open-science approach allows contributors and the global community to observe the progress and challenges of the project firsthand. It is, however, important to understand that this is a scientific experiment, and as with all experiments, outcomes are subject to variation. While success is highly probable, there is no 100% guarantee that the prototype will function as intended. Consequently, although contributors will be entitled to their equity stake in BANTU Ltd if all goes according to plan, the organisers bear no legal obligation to provide refunds or other forms of compensation should the experiment not yield the desired results.
17. We believe this model ensures dignity, participation, and legacy. By supporting this endeavour, asides supporting technology, we are starting a continental movement. Together, we can demonstrate that African-led science can change the world, village by village.
