VIDEOPHONE

Fig1.A photo of a boy currently using the Videophone

Videophone, also known as the 'Photophone separator signal network', was

invented in 1955 by the Filipino Scientist, Engr. Gregorio T. Zara. It is considered as
the first two-way electronic video communicator. The device has a camera and screen
that allows visual, real-time communications, commonly known as “video calling”.

 INCUBATOR

Doctor Fe Del Mundo is credited with studies that led to the invention of an improved
incubator and a jaundice relieving device. She had dedicated her life to the cause of paediatrics
in the Philippines.
In a bid to help families in rural communities without electricity, del Mundo invented a
bamboo incubator in 1941. According to a biographical report on del Mundo by the Philippine
Center for Investigative Journalism, the physician’s makeshift incubator was composed of two
native laundry baskets made of bamboo. Made of different sizes, the baskets were “placed one
inside the other.” She would then put hot water bottles all around and between the baskets to
regulate the body temperature of babies. “I put a little hood over it and attached oxygen for the
baby,” she said. “We had to do with whatever was available.” However, we were not able to find
any photo of the incubator (or know where its remains lie today). It was reported that it was del
Mundo’s objective of making inventions that are inexpensive and can be reproduced by people
who have limited access to medical centers.

 VACUUM CLEANER

The first vacuum cleaner that used the same principle as

those that we use today was invented by Hubert Cecil Booth of
England in 1901. Booth was inspired by a demonstration of a
Thurman's machine at the Empire Music Hall in London so much
that he tried the idea that he had almost immediately.

 TURTLE POWER TILLER

TURTLE POWER TILLER Villaruz, Magdalena, Filipino inventor and entrepreneur

(1934) Magdalena now heads a large company that manufactures and markets the
machine in many tropical countries. A prolific inventor, she is the holder of many patents
for agricultural equipment. In addition, she is very active in inventor organizations in the
Philippines, and was the first woman to win the Philippines Inventor of the Year Award
(1986). Then in 1995 she was awarded the World Intellectual Property Organisation’s gold
medal, in recognition of being the most outstanding woman inventor in the Philippines.
In the 1960s she designed and produced a machine called the, a tractor with a float. It is
capable of tilling soil in the most rain-sodden fields. This is a big help for all the farmers
and also a large contribution to the advancement technology in their year of living. Power
Tiller is a walking tractor widely used for rotary or revolving cultivation in wet puddle soil.
For small & marginal farmers a Power Tiller is the best choice. It replaces the animal
power more effectively & helps in raising demand for human labor.

 MICROPROCESSOR-BASED CALCULATOR

Diosdado Banatao, a native from Cagayan Valley, developed the first single-chip
16-bit microprocessor-based calculator in the 1970s. He went on to create the world’s
first system logic chip sets in 1981, which allowed the integration of all of a computer’s
essential data processing features into a small package. He did not stop there, though.
Banatao eventually came up with the first Windows Graphics accelerator chip for personal
computers. Thanks to these breakthroughs, he earned himself a permanent place in the
history of PC development. Today, Banatao serves as the chairman of the board of
directors for Inphi, a company specializing in advanced semiconductor and Silicon
photonics solutions. In addition, he founded the Philippine Development Foundation
(PhilDev), a nonprofit organization aiming to eliminate poverty through the use of
education, innovation, and entrepreneurship. A micro-processor-based calculator is
described which uses a number system representation for easy understanding. The
number system employs the basic die configuration, where each digit of any number is
expressed by a combination of dots. The calculator can perform the four basic arithmetic
operations in addition to specially designed exercises.

 WATER GASOLINE

A car engine that runs on water may be something out of a science fiction novel,
but it’s really not that far-fetched. In fact, just ask Noli Dazo, who discovered a way to
make a vehicle run using nothing but H2O. A graduate of Southern Nevada in Computer
Science and Engineering, his “Tubig na Gasoline” or “Dazo Water Fuel Hydrogen” even
made him an “Outstanding Filipino Inventor of the Philippines” in the field of Innovative
Products Invention. According to Dazo, his “Water Gasoline” would be beneficial to
drivers who particularly operate jeepneys and tricycles, since hydrogen fuel has around
“three times the power as standard petrol or diesel.” What’s more, it’s cleaner and more
powerful compared to diesel or gasoline. And since it fully ignites standard fuel going
inside the engine, it has better improved power that needs less fuel to produce the same
speed as a standard gasoline or diesel engine. It also produces a lot of steam, which will
cool the engine and get rid of old carbon deposits inside.

 KARAOKE

KARAOKE by Robert del Rosario Roberto del Rosario invented his version of a karaoke
machine between 1975 and 1977, and in his patents (UM-5269 on June 2, 1983 and UM-6237 on
November 14, 1986) he described his sing-along system as a handy, multi-purpose, compact
machine that incorporates an amplifier speaker, one or two tape mechanisms, an optional tuner
or radio, and a microphone mixer with features to enhance one's voice, such as the echo or
reverb to simulate an opera hall or a studio sound. The whole system was enclosed in one cabinet
casing.

 H20 SALAMANDER

MANILA, Philippines – Most Filipinos have ridden a tricycle, but none quite like the
Salamander. The Salamander is the tricycle reimagined. It can transform from traveling
on land to traveling in water in a matter of seconds, which would allow it to serve as a
rescue vehicle in the event of flooding. The Salamander is the brainchild of Victor Llave
and his team at H2O Technologies, an innovation and technology company. Designed over
a period of more than 24 months, the Salamander, even in its earliest stages, is clearly a
testament to the ingenuity of Filipino engineering.

 EJEEPNEY

Inventor Ismael Aviso.

Filipino inventor Ismael Aviso has been working on his self-charging electric car
for more than a decade, and it's quite promising. He only used a motolite battery for his
prototype, although he's still in the process of refining his system.
Electric Jeepneys (ejeepneys), the first public transport of its kind in Southeast
Asia. Were launched 1 July 2008 in a historic drive along Ayala Avenue in Makati.The
ejeepney runs on pure electricity supplied by rechargeable automotive batteries thus iy
does not consume either gasoline or diesel to operate.
Today, the Jeepney is a symbol of Filipino pop culture. They are often painted in
bright, flamboyant colors and future lights, loud horn and large, ornate hood ornaments.
The government began to regulate Jeepney transportation once it established itself as a
functional, inexpensive way of public transportation.
