Improved methods of producing solar energy including creating new designs for a solar water heater (SolarSorber), a sun stove, and a solar battery (1960s)
Achievements/Acomplishments:
- Zara died in 1978, but his legacy lives on every time a Filipino overseas worker connects with his or her family in the Philippines using an Internet videophone.
- The Philippine government accorded him a state funeral at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.
He designed a microscope with a collapsible stage
- He graduated with a Doctorate of Physics from Sorbonne University in 1930.
When the video phone used to test its quality
He helped design the robot Marex X-10
He invented an airplane engine that ran on plain alcohol as fuel (1952)
He also invented a propeller-cutting machine (1952)
He discovered the physical law of electrical kinetic resistance called the Zara effect (around 1930)
There is no clear explanation as to why Zara’s videophone didn’t reach the commercial market, but one commenter noted that the transmission used by the machine is the same as broadcasting a live television. Hence, it was “expensive and impractical.”
