MATALAM, North Cotabato — The Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines has granted patent registration to an energy prototype for renewable energy conversion developed by Nash Maulana, a columnist of The Mindanao Cross in Cotabato City and a news correspondent for the Manila Standard.
Instead of a diesel prime-mover, Maulana uses heavy duty customized brushless direct current motor which he ordered from China. The prototype driving motor is mechanically enhanced in terms of torque in driving a transmission, which is running a set of mechanical loads composed of one marine dynamo-type generator and another device each turning on a technically required speed.
Pabillan said he and his peers of science and technology researchers will be working under the auspices of the Institute of Bangsamoro Studies using the S&T research grant earlier sourced out by the institute.
