Charissa M. Ferrera
It can drive over land and water and can carry six passengers including the driver.
Salamander Amphibious Tricycle
Salamander is Invented by
Atoy Llave of A-Toy Body Kits and Dominic Chang.
- It runs on pure electricity supplied by rechargeable automotive batteries
- It does not consume either gasoline or diesel to operate
E-jeepneys
- It was composed of two native laundry baskets of different sizes and made of bamboo.
- Hot water bottles were placed all around and between the outer basket to regulate the body temperature of the babies
Medical Incubator
Who invented a bamboo incubator in 1941
Fe Del Mundo
- user interface accelerator that made computers work a lot faster
- 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
Single-chip 16-bit Microprocessor
- 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
- 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.
Electrifilter
Electrifilter invented by
Christian G. Sta. Romana and John Paul G. Santos
her vision is “to light up the rest of the Philippines sustainably” and invented Salt Lamp
Aisa Mijeno
is an environment friendly and an alternative light source that runs on saltwater, making it suitable to those who live in coastal areas and remote barrios
Salt Lamp
Meaning of Salt Lamp
Sustainable Alternative Lighting lamp
he invented Vaz built
Edgardo G.Vazquez
- pre-fabricated reinforced concrete columns, wall panels, tie beams (at 2,500 to 3,500 psi) which are assembled into modular housing units.
- for building fire-proof, termite-proof and earthquake-proof in less than a month using pre-fabricated posts and panels
Vazbuilt
- aims to control the population of the dengue carrying Aedes mosquitoes
- the scent of the solution attracts female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to lay their eggs on the lawanit stick.
Mosquito Ovicidal or Larvicidal Trap
is the first of the two micro-satellites in the Philippines.
Diwata-1
- This is in preparation for the expected end of Diwata-1’s useful life by November 2018 due to decay and the gravitational pull of the Earth.
- It was launched to an orbit 213 kilometers higher than Diwata-1’s
Diwata-2
-It works by using kinetic energy lost when a train slows down, converting it to electricity in the process.
- developed by the DeparMent of Science and Technology’s Metal Industry and Research Development Center in partnership with the Philippine National Railways (PNR).
