Current State of Science and Technology in the Philippines

VAZNBUILT

The process of inventing a new product requires an agile mind as well as abundant resources. Amateur inventors need to research similar inventions, draw out schematics and create working prototypes before seeing their products reach fruition. While these steps may be completed flawlessly, an inventor must act as a booster for his product to investors and consumers. EVERY INVENTOR SHOULD APPRECIATE THE HISTORY AND CHALLENGES OF CREATING NEW PRODUCTS BEFORE TURNING AN IDEA REALITY.

Filipino inventor Edgardo Vazquez created a modular housing system known as Vazbuilt. A Vazbuilt house can be created within weeks and possesses a design that's resistant to typhoons and earthquakes. In 1995, Vazquez was awarded a gold medal by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) for his invention.

RICE THRESHER

It was invented by Mosuela for the separation of grain from stalks and husks.

The Latest Philippine Inventions

Filipinos are very CREATIVE

SUPERKALAN

Some inventions are designed to make life easier, to ease up and hasten tasks, and even to stimulate the mind with fun. Whatever the purpose, the inspiration and brilliance of the inventors and researchers behind these creations highly encourage other creative minds to explore the possibilities of locally available materials.

The Superkalan is a stove that can be powered by any substance that burns. Narciso Mosuela of the Filipino province of La Union invented it and received the Best Design award from the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) in 1987. Among the substances that can power the Superkalan are wood, paper, dried dung and leaves, corncobs and coco shells. Mosuela has also invented a functional rice thresher.

Filipinos are people from the country

known as the Philippines, an archipelago

consisting of more than 1,000 islands in the

Pacific Ocean . Over the years, many Filipino inventors have created groundbreaking inventions for a wide variety of functions and uses.

SOLAR POWER INCUBATOR

Members of the College of Engineering and Agro-Industrial Technology at the University of the Philippines Los Baños developed an incubator that can help duck eggs to develop into balut --- that is, a fertilized egg --- while being fueled by solar power. The machine covers an area of about 5 square meters. Heat emanates primarily from a solar-powered water heater, with photovoltaic cells to regulate the heat inside the incubator. The machine could double the income of Filipino farmers.
