MANILA—A Filipino inventor has received an international award from the National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT) for his invention that eliminates emission from all types of engines from vehicles to ships.
George de Guzman, the Filipino inventor, received the NRCT Bronze Prize Award and Certificate of Appreciation last February 6, but it was only over the weekend that this writer learned about the citation during an interview with the awardee.
De Guzman, a former basketball player turned inventor, called his invention “Power-Up Power
Combustor” that eliminates emission from vehicles, ships and generators.
Dr. Wiparat De-ong, NRCT executive director, signed the Bronze Prize Award and Certificate of Appreciation awarded to De Guzman, citing the Filipino inventor of his“creative efforts to invent Power Up Fuel Combustor.”
In an interview, De Guzman profusely thanked the NRCT for the award.
De Guzman said he was not present to receive the award at Bangkok International Intellectual Property, Invention, Innovation and Technology Exposition in Thailand on Feb. 2-6, 2024, but he was represented by Ronald P. Pagsanghan, president of the Filipino Inventors Society.
What is unique of De Guzman’s invention is that it does not only eliminates emission, but also saves fuel consumption by as much as 50 per cent and gives more power to the engine, rolled into one.
“Another advantage of using ‘Power Up Combustor’ is that change oil is done after 30,000 kilometers,” De Guzman said.
“With gasoline prices going up every week, Power Up Combustor is the answer,” he stressed.
