Assignment #5

Water-Powered Car


Filipino Inventor, Daniel Dingel's water-powered car traces its development back to 1969, per Philippine newspaper accounts and the inventor's own claim that he has invested at least thirty years' worth of work. Dingel has had several cars converted since that time - all his own. The Daniel Dingel water car is not a fuel-cell car. Fuel cell cars like the new Honda FCX Clarity uses hydrogen gas to produce electricity in a fuel cell, and it is this electricity that powers the car's electric motor. Also, fuel cell cars are reliant on hydrogen that is pre-extracted using costly methods.



Contrary to its name, Dingel's car does not burn water. The inventor claims to have designed a process that efficiently maximizes on-demand hydrogen extraction from the electrolysis of ordinarily-available water. It is the hydrogen gas that his car burns directly in the engine's combustion chamber. The extraction process being on-demand, Dingel's car does not store hydrogen gas onboard in quantities that pose an explosion risk.


   Sing-Along System
Roberto L. del Rosario is a prominent Philippine inventor of the Sing-Along System known as Minus-One that will eventually be known as karaoke. Naipaglaban Congressof the Philippines said the passage of the proposal for incentives to invention of the Filipinos that eventually became law RA 7459 or Inventors and Invention Incentives Acton April 28, 1992. 
           He was elected as a member of the Executive Board of the International Federation of Inventors Association (IFIA). He was awarded the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Gold Medal in his unique invention in 1985.

Lunar Rover / Moon Buggy





Filipinos consider Eduardo San Juan as the inventor of the Lunar Rover, or more popularly known as the Moon Buggy. The Moon Buggy was the car used by Neil Armstrong and other astronauts when they first explored the moon in 1969. Eduardo San Juan, a graduate of Mapua Institute of Technology (MIT), worked for Lockheed Corporation and conceptualized the design of the Moon Buggy that the Apollo astronauts used while in the moon. As a NASA engineer, San Juan reportedly used his Filipino ingenuity to build a vehicle that would run outside the Earth’s atmosphere. He constructed his model using homemade materials. In 1978, San Juan received one of the Ten Outstanding Men (TOM) awards in science and technology. 
San Juan, however, was not listed as the inventor of the Moon Buggy in American scientific journals. It said the vehicle was designed and constructed by a group of space engineers. In Poland, the Moon Buggy is attributed to a Polish inventor. Worse, the National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) does not recognize Flores in its roster of outstanding Filipino scientists.
