Kelvin Odartei Cruickshank: The Self-Taught Inventor Who Made His Dream Car a Reality

Kelvin Odartei cruickshank was born in Ghana, where he grew up surrounded by a culture that encouraged his natural curiosity and passion for engineering.From age seven he started building small remote controlled prototype vehicles including planes. By age fifteen the self taught Engineer had started working on his DIY car.
By 2021,cruickshank has successfully built a working car called 'kelvin mobile'. It was built mostly from scrap parts at a total cost of roughly $3,000.The vehicle was an impressive feat of engineering, even though it was far from perfect as at that time.
Over the years, he has worked tirelessly to improve its design, resulting in a sleek and stylish car with a sky-blue finish.
The vehicle is no longer called 'kelvin Mobile'. In a bid to highlight the changes to the car,the young inventor renamed it 'Kelsus P1' the name is derived from the combination of the first three letters of kelvin and the last three letters of Jesus.
