Invention Utilization
Salt Lamp The Salt Lamp is an
environment-friendly and
sustainable alternative light
source that runs on salt water,
making it suitable to those
who live in coastal areas. It
can also function well in
remote barrios. With just two
table spoons of salt and one
glass of tap water, this
ecologically designed lamp
can run eight hours.
Rice grinder, meat Almeda Sr. invented the rice
grinder, and coconut grinder, meat grinder, and
grater. coconut grater. Add to that
the ice shaver, waffle cooker,
barbecue cooker, hot dog
griller and portable toaster.
Almeda Sr. designed his
inventions mainly for use by
the fast-food industry and
sandwich stands, thereby
further improving the food
industry in terms of
processing food much
quicker and easier.
16-Bit Microchip This invention has allowed
computer users to use
graphics for commands in
older computers. This
allowed data processing to be
more efficient and faster by
using little space (small chips
instead of large boards)

mixed with a catalyst. The

melted plastic goes to a
specially designed pyrolysis
chamber and
depolymerisation occurs,
where hydrocarbon gases are
produced. Then kit passes
through distillation, filtration
and centrifuge. The light
gases produced are then
purified, compressed and
stored. The process is done
entirely inside a vacuum;
hence no resultant chemicals
are released into
environment.
