00:34 For this episode,
00:36 we will use the power of water.
00:40 Well, it's like that.
00:45 Because our game-changing innovation today
00:48 can generate electricity
00:50 from what they call tidal energy.
00:54 Tidal energy is generated
00:58 from the natural rise and fall of the tide of water
01:01 affected by the gravity of the Earth, Sun, and Moon.
01:05 In the country,
01:08 the Department of Energy awarded Ocean Energy Projects to them.
01:12 But all of that is still in the pre-development stage.
01:17 [Music]
01:20 It's a feat that Patrick has not waited for 22 years.
01:25 He has already made his own prototype of a tidal turbine.
01:29 If we notice the Philippines,
01:31 we are archipelago.
01:33 We have a lot of tidal waves, rivers, and canals.
01:37 We have a lot of water to create electricity.
01:40 The idea started when he was just 16 years old.
01:47 In 2022, he had the opportunity to build the prototype
01:52 with the help of an international non-profit organization
01:55 that supports clean energy,
01:58 DOST TAPI,
01:59 and Ateneo de Manila University and De La Salle University.
02:04 Marisa Turbine was born,
02:07 named after his mother,
02:08 who passed away last year.
02:11 Marisa Turbine, in Latin, it means "of the sea."
02:13 So, "Turbine of the Sea."
02:15 To also make a tribute to my mom's life.
02:18 But how does it work?
02:21 When we put it in the water,
02:23 we rotate it 180 degrees.
02:26 This is what's under the water.
02:27 And to float the body,
02:30 we have floaters.
02:31 So when it rotates,
02:33 we have a generator inside.
02:36 When it rotates,
02:37 it creates electricity.
02:39 So the current we're making now,
02:41 we'll let it flow through our wire
02:43 to our battery.
02:45 Proof that the Marisa Turbine creates electricity.
02:50 Bam!
02:53 See?
02:54 So that's it.
02:55 That's one of the things we can power up.
02:59 According to Patrick,
03:01 it takes just 10 hours
03:03 to charge a battery
03:05 that can be used by a typical Pinoy household.
03:09 It will be modular in the future,
03:11 and it will be accessible,
03:13 and it will be easy to deploy.
03:15 There you go, Kapuso!
03:16 I hope that this kind of innovation continues
03:19 for the future,
03:21 and of course, for the next generations.
03:23 For GMA Integrated News,
03:25 I'm Martin Avier,
03:26 Changing the Game!
