Air car

Is it possible to run a car by using air alone? Well, as per the video above you still need a liter or gallon of gasoline to run a compressed air car. But compared to the current all gasoline car this is a huge savings!

Watch and learn! And for the Filipino inventors, hope you could invent one that runs in pure air. I remember in one talk show in ANC they have interviewed an inventor who is currently working on a generator that runs on pure air. So, maybe the technology could be adapted to a car.


Solita F. Camara-Besa- Filipino Scientist

 

Solita F. Camara-Besa

Dr. Camara-Besa is a medical educator and researcher. She has worked on the sodium and potassium content of Philippine foods and established standards useful in the preparation of diets. Her series of 8 papers on cholesterol levels in relation to diets of various segments of the Filipino population which are very important epidemiological basic data on Filipino give an idea of the importance of fats and cholesterol in the epidemiology of atherosclerosis among Filipinos.

Some of Dr. Camara-Besa”s researches were award winning. She was a Barbour Scholar, University of Michican from 1939-1940 and is a member of various honorary and learned societies.

Ricardo M. Lantican- Filipino Scientist

 

Ricardo M. Lantican

For his research on cytoplasmic inheritance of hypersensitivity to a disease in maize, a discovery that has created an awareness among biologists of the importance of genetic diversity as a weapon against environmental adversities.

Dr. Lantican’s efforts in plant breeding, more specifically in the development of varietal resistance and the improvement of plant structure and morphology, have paved the way for the release of outstanding varieties. These varieties are now being commercially grown by farmers in the Philippines, parts of Southeast Asia, East Asia and South Asia. The new plant structure developed in mungbean through his effort and that of his team has resulted in doubling of yields. The plant types evolved in the Philippines were heavily used as parents in the breeding program of the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center (AVRDC) in Taiwan.

Quirino Navarro – Filipino Scientist

 

Quirino O. Navarro

A significant contribution of Dr. Navarro to science is the determination of nuclear property n the isotopes of californium, einsteinium and dysprosium using cryogenic techniques. His findings were cited in two books and three international tomes of nuclear science and later confirmed at the University of California at Berkeley with the use of advanced instrumentation. Dr. Navarro has also worked on neutron spectrometry and crystallography and electronics and instrumentation process.
