@historishh0: 🇵🇭 The Filipino Who Made Video Calls Possible Before the Internet In the 1950s, long before WiFi and smartphones, a Filipino scientist built a working two-way videophone. At a time when people could only hear each other on the telephone, he showed that it was possible to both see and speak in real time using electrical signals and communication lines. But his vision did not stop there. In 1954, he developed and tested an airplane engine powered by pure alcohol. The engine was successfully flown at Manila International Airport, showing advanced thinking in aviation engineering. He also described what became known as the Zara Effect. His inventions included a solar-powered water heater, a solar oven, an Earth Induction Compass for aircraft navigation, and even a robot. In total, he secured about 30 patents during his lifetime. In 1978, he was proclaimed National Scientist of the Philippines. Later that same year, he passed away at the age of 76. A Filipino mind ahead of its time. A story that proves innovation can begin anywhere. Do you know who he is? #reels #educational #FilipinoInventor #FilipinoScientist #PhilippineHistory
