Young Pinoy Inventor Uses Recyclable Materials to Create Wireless Bulb
A young Pinoy inventor from Bangued, Abra earned praises online after creating a wireless bulb using recyclable materials.
A 17-year-old guy named Jhentrix Castillo was able to create a wireless bulb out of junks and other recyclable materials. His invention garnered various reactions from the online community.
Castillo used an old jar containing water, salt and aluminum foil, which serves as the capacitor. He used a broken transformer as a coil to produce a small current of electricity, which is visible to the naked eye.
The young guy used an old laptop charged as the power source of his improvised device to light a bulb without using any wires. He is planning to create a larger version of his invention after acquiring all the materials needs.
Jhentrix also revealed that it was not his first invention because he had already made a scooter powered by a grass cutter. The latter has already created a device made of steel plate that can convert water into a flammable gas.
According to the young inventor, he was inspired by his deceased grandfather to start innovating objects from the available resources. His grandpa is also an inventor and carpenter while his knowledge about electricity came from his uncle who is an electronics graduate.
