PRODUCT
1) Refrigerant type Turbo intercooler

PAIN ENCOUNTERED
The performance of turbo charged engines are not maximized in the tropical countries because of the inherently higher ambient temperatures.

CONCEPT OF THE INNOVATION
The trend in the automotive industry to increase the output or power of a motor is has shifted from increasing the displacement or size of the motor to pressurizing or boosting the air entering the engine thru turbocharging or supercharging. In this manner, smaller displacement engines which are fuel efficient can match the power output of bigger gas guzzling engines.

The main limitation in turbocharging applications is the heat generated when the air is compressed or pressurized by the turbo. It is a known fact that the hotter the air entering the combustion chamber, the less will be the expansion of the air- fuel mixture during the combustion process resulting to lesser force or power generated by the motor compared to cold air entering the engine.

The most common way of cooling the air after passing thru the turbo is thru the use of an air to air intercooler. This is an effective solution but is limited by the size and location of the intercooler as well as the ambient temperature. There must be a more effective and efficient way of addressing this issue.

The idea is to use a more effective way of lowering the air temperature entering the combustion chamber by using a refrigerant type of intercooler similar to the evaporator being used in our car air conditioners. It will use the same aircon compressor but will need additional plumbing of the refrigerant lines to allow a second aircon evaporator to cool the turbocharged air before entering the engine. This is similar to "dual-aircons" that we have in vans or larger SUV's.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INNOVATION
This innovation will dramatically lower the charged air entering the motor resulting to a more powerful combustion of the air-fuel mixture. This will make possible the use of smaller displacement motors producing the same output as a bigger traditionally intercooled motors.

This will also result to a smaller and lighter intercooler.

This is another concept that can improve the volumetric efficiency of motors and contribute to fuel efficiency.

2) Water pressure tanks air-water level maintainer

PAIN ENCOUNTERED

Water pressure tanks usually suffer from water log. And you have to keep on regularly adding air in the tank or bladder of the tank to maintain the correct air-water level and prevent the pressure pump motor from running even of just a small amount of water is used. This frequent or premature running of the pump motor results to a higher electricity usage as the highest current usage of a motor is during the start up of the motor.

CONCEPT OF THE INNOVATION
A small air compressor similar to the portable air compressors we have for inflating tires can be built into the system to regularly infuse air into the tank to maintain the correct preset pressure of the air in the bladder in the tank.


ADVANTAGE OF THE INNOVATION
This will result to a more consistent air-water level and prevent water "log" from happening which results to decreased frequency of the pump motor running. This will reduce electricity consumption and prolong the life of the pump motor.

3) Drug testing on wheels

PAIN ENCOUNTERED
The drug menace

CONCEPT OF THE INNOVATION
Mandatory and random drug testing in all schools and offices will be conducted. A mobile drug testing facility in a van will be deployed to random offices and schools to conduct mandatory drug testing

ADVANTAGE OF THE INNOVATION
The employees / students will not be aware when the testing will be done. This a greater percentage of drug users will be identified. This concept will also make the testing more accessible to even remote areas.

PRODUCT
4) Mandatory gps / gsm installation in all public utility vehicles.

PAIN ENCOUNTERED
Reckless public utility vehicle drivers.

CONCEPT OF THE INNOVATION
A GPS device w GSM capabilities will be installed in all public utility vehicles. This device will have a seal similar to those of taxi meters to prevent removal or tampering. Alerts will be sent automatically to a monitoring center of the Highway patrol group and the LTO if the vehicle goes beyond a pre-set speed limit or if the vehicle goes out of their pre-determined approved routes or franchise.

Local telecom operators will assist the government in this program and will be given tax breaks or incentives for their cooperation and support.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INNOVATION
Public utility vehicles can be easily monitored and their respective drivers and operators fined and given appropriate sanctions or penalties of their vehicles are caught over speeding and going out of their approved routes.

PRODUCT
5) Fluid level sensors

PAIN ENCOUNTERED
Low fluid levels in the vehicle can result to costly engine damage and or compromised safety. The warning systems in most vehicles will send a signal if the there is already a fault and the vehicle is already not safe to drive.

CONCEPT OF THE INNOVATION
The concept of this innovation is to install sensors of the different fluid levels in the vehicle to warn the driver to initiate corrective measures.

Example: a warning light will trigger when the coolant level in the reservoir is getting a bit low and NOT a temperature warning light alone that will trigger a warning only when the engine is already overheating.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INNOVATION
This will avoid costly engine failures and will minimize motorist inconvenience from vehicle breakdowns.

6) Thermostat controlled solar powered fans

PAIN ENCOUNTERED
Very hot indoor air because of the hot air accumulating in the attic or ceiling space.
This results to the air conditioning units working excessive and ofcouse a higher electricity consumption.

CONCEPT OF THE INNOVATION
Thermostat controlled solar powered fans in the ceiling / attic space of residential and commercial structures will automatically vent warm air out of the ceiling / attic space or the house when the temperature reaches a pre-set level to maintain a cooler indoor temperature.


ADVANTAGE OF THE INNOVATION
The resulting lower indoor temperature will result to less use of air conditioning and less electricity consumption.

PRODUCT
7) MRT / LRT Tandem Trains

PAIN ENCOUNTERED
Our MRT system has limited capacity resulting to very long lines. This has also discouraged the public from taking this form of transportation and instead just drive their own cars resulting to the the worsening of our traffic problems.

CONCEPT OF THE INNOVATION
We can increase the passenger carrying capacity of our MRT system by installing double the number of cars per Train.

There will be no need to increase the size of the station platforms. The train will initially stop at the platform and only the doors of the train cars in the front half will open. The doors on the train cars at remaining rear half that is still not positioned properly on the platform will remain closed. After 20 seconds, the front doors will close. The train will move slightly forward until the rear half of the train cars are positioned properly on the platform. Then the doors on the rear half of the train will open to load and unload passengers. This time, the doors on the cars in the front of the train will remain closed.

Upgrading of the trains power and brakes will also be in order to accommodate the additional load.

An upgrading of the signaling and communication systems will also be done.


ADVANTAGE OF THE INNOVATION
This is an easily implementable task. There will be no need to implement expensive structural changes in the MRT train platforms.
