PHILIPPINE INVENTIONS
▶
Philippine inventions showcase the skills and inventiveness
of the Filipinos using available raw and local materials.
▶
Their curiosity and passion to help their community
inspire them in producing improvised equipment,
machine,
and
even
a
medical
apparatus.
Salamander Amphibious Tricycle
 The floating amphibious tricycle called
the “Salamander” was launched by H2O
Technologies at the Capital Commons
Center in Pasig City.
 Atoy Llave of A-Toy Body Kits invented
the Salamander together with Dominic
Chang.
https://www.topgear.com.ph/news/car-news/pinoy-madesalamander-amphibious-trike-can-tackle-land-and-water
▶
The engineering team was lead by Lamberto Armada who combined the ideas
of Llave and Chang (The Manila Times, 2015).
▶
It can drive over land and water and can carry six
passengers including the driver.
▶
It was built on a compartmentalized, double-hull,
fiberglass body that would not sink even if a section
sustains damage.
Two prototypes were introduced
▶
1) one is powered by 5kW electric engine
▶
2) the other by 250 cc gasoline motor
(Filipino Discoveries, Inventions, Innovations and Products, 2015).
▶
On the road, the gas-powered model transmits its power
to the pavement via the two rear wheels.
▶
When on water, the Salamander is propelled by a threebladed propeller that is directly connected to the engine.
▶
The cost of the Salamander would be between PhP
200,000 to PhP 230,000 each (The Manila Times, 2015).
E-jeepneys
 It runs on pure electricity supplied by
rechargeable automotive batteries
 It does not consume either gasoline or
diesel to operate.
 It has no noise, no fumes, and no
harmful emissions.
http://planetphilippines.com
▶
It can be charged overnight for about eight hours on an
ordinary wall outlet, much like charging a cellphone and run
the next day for a minimum of 65 kms.
▶
The Philippine Utility Vehicle (PhUV) Inc., pioneered the
assembly of electric jeepneys in the Philippines (PhUV Inc.,
n.d.).
Medical Incubator
 Fe Del Mundo invented a bamboo
incubator in 1941.
 It was composed of two native laundry
baskets of different sizes and made of
bamboo.
 The baskets were placed one inside the
other.
https://www.facebook.com/nastphl/posts/wednsdaypilipinast/2673648509338671/
▶
Hot water bottles were placed all around and between the outer basket to
regulate the body temperature of the babies.
▶
A hood is placed over it with an attached oxygen (Bulan,
2018).
▶
Del Mundo’s objective was to produce inexpensive
inventions and can be reproduced by people with limited
access to medical centers (Bulan, 2018).
Single-chip 16-bit Microprocessor
 Diosdado Banatao had his first
breakthrough
with
Commodore
International after he developed the
first single-chip graphical user interface
accelerator that made computers work a
lot
faster.
 A 16-bit microprocessor-based calculator
https://twitter.com/IPOPHL/status/10085330363
07116034/photo/1
▶
This invention has allowed computer users to use graphics for commands
and not the usual types commands in older computers.
▶
It has allowed data processing to be a little faster using very
little space (Philippine Primer, 2017).
▶
He developed the world’s first system logic chip set for IBM’s,
PC-XT and PC-AT.
▶
He also developed the first Windows Graphics accelerator chip
for personal computers.
(Filipino Discoveries, Inventions, Innovations and Products, 2013).
Electrifilter
 It generates electricity from waste water
that can power lamp post in sidewalks and
roads.
 It has the capability to filter and cleanse
water that can be used for daily
consumption.
 The excess energy produced will be stored
to a battery (Gineers Now, n.d.).
https://gineersnow.com/engineering/electronics
/device-filipino-electronics-engineering-studentsgenerates-electricity-wastewater
▶
Christian G. Sta. Romana and
John Paul G. Santos
from
Polytechnic University of the
Philippines won the award for their
invention, electrifilter.
▶
The waste output from the device
can be used as natural fertilizers.
▶
The device is designed to be
portable so that it can be used to
generate electricity, provide clean
water in times of floods, storms
and other calamities in remote
areas (Gineers Now, n.d.).
(Electricity Generation from Filthy Water) (Gineers Now,n.d.).
SALt lamp
 This was invented by a Filipina
scientist Aisa Mijeno, where her vision
is “to light up the rest of the
Philippines sustainably” (Buccat,2015).
https://www.yugatech.com/toys-gadgets/this-lamp-runs-ontap-water-and-table-salt/
 The SALt lamp (Sustainable Alternative
Lighting lamp) is an environmentfriendly and an alternative light source
that runs on saltwater, making it
suitable to those who live in coastal
areas and remote barrios (Buccat,
2015).
▶
It is composed of two table spoons of salt, one glass of tap
water, catalysts and metal alloys that when submerged in
electrolytes will generate electricity and can last for eight hours.
▶
It utilizes the same principle as the Galvanic cell, but uses saline
solution making it harmless and non-toxic (Buccat, 2015).
Vazbuilt: A Modular housing system
 The Vazbuilt building technology was
invented by Edgardo G.Vazquez.
 In 1993, Mr. Vazquez was awarded the

Philippines.
It aims to send into space in three years via the Philippine
Scientific Earth Observation Micro-Satellite (PHL- Microsat)
Program of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) in
collaboration with the University of the Philippines Diliman, and
two Japanese academic institutions, Tohoku University (TU) and

▶
The first Filipino hybrid electric train (HET) was launched on
April 24, 2019. (Grecia, 2019).
▶
This was developed by the Departent of Science and
Technology’s Metal Industry and Research Development Center
in partnership with the Philippine National Railways(PNR).
▶
The DOST took them five years to build the HET and it cost 120
million pesos (Grecia, 2019).
▶
The air-conditioned train used Toyota’s Prius technology and
can accommodate 880 passengers.
▶
It has CCTV systems, LED TV setups and automatic sliding
doors. (Cruz, 2019)
▶
It made a round trip between Alabang PNR station and Binan,
Laguna on April 24, 2019.
▶ The
scheduled operations started on May 6, 2019 and it runs by
the PNR via the same routes for 19 days as part of its turnover
process (Grecia, 2019).
▶
The DOST team head, Paolo Acuin described the HET features,
having a diesel-powered generator, an electric motor, a bank of
electrical batteries, and regenerative braking technology.
34
▶
It works by using kinetic energy lost when a train slows down,
converting it to electricity in the process.
(Subingsubing,2019)
▶
This is then stored in 260 lead acid-batteries, which can be
utilized to run the HET or power the train’s automatic doors,
air-conditioner, and CCTV cameras (Cruz, 2019).

into the body, the body’s lipase enzymes
release active compound metabolites- mainly
monolaurin and lauric acid, which have the
physicochemical property of being able to
destroy the membrane of lipid-coated
viruses. (IFTNEXT, 2020)

 Stressing the importance of science research, Reyes says:
“My hope for scientific research in the Philippines is for it to continue to deepen and
grow. We have so much to contribute to world knowledge by studying our
geologically and ecologically rich land and water, and our sociologically and
culturally rich communities. We have so much to gain from applying appropriate
technologies to our industries – from agriculture and fisheries to manufacturing and
analytics. We will be a smarter nation as a whole if we teach kids to think like
scientists – to formulate hypotheses and put them to the test, and to not believe
anything just because someone (usually, of authority) said so” (Sacris, 2016).

 Her current research is on the analysis of the water quality in Anda and
Bolinao, two of the towns in Western Pangasinan that breed bangus
(milkfish).
CHARISSA M. FERRERA
 Ferrera studies the amount of phosphorus – one of the nutrients that
support the growth of algae and other aquatic plants (Panela, 2018).
 An excessive amount of phosphorus in the water and sediments lead to
phosphorus pollution, and is linked to harmful algal blooms or red tide.
Harmful algal blooms could be toxic for marine life, and are often linked to
a localized die-off of the fish population or fish kill (Panela, 2018).
