Switzerland-based inventors’ group acknowledges Filipina pupil’s AirDisc AC after 10 establishments conferred her awards

That is what a 19-year-old Filipina pupil has developed, and with patent functions filed, that might probably revolutionize the way in which properties and buildings are cooled — with out using hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) as cooling agent.

Maria Yzabell Angel Palma (also referred to as Yza), from Bicol, Philippines, was just lately acknowledged by the Worldwide Federation of Inventors’ Affiliation (IFIA) for inventing her “AirDisc”. 

Palma, whose invention had additionally been recognised Asian (Chinese language, Korea and Taiwanese) entities, claims she had patent utility filed for AirDisc each within the Philippines and the US.

Alongside along with her father, Bernardo, a mecahnical engineer, Palma is reportedly finalising a business prototype and is open for manufacturing partnerships. She has been recognised by Korean, Chinese language and Taiwanese teams.  

Highschool invention

Philippine media experiences state that the 19-year-old from Naga Metropolis, 408km south of Manila, was a Grade 10 pupil on the elite Philippine Science Excessive College (PSHS) Bicol campus in 2016 when she “by accident” got here up along with her revolutionary AC invention that makes use of a disc-shaped compressor. 

PSHS has 14 different campuses across the nation.

As a substitute of utilizing as cooling medium, Palma’s AC makes use of low compression and a excessive quantity of air molecules as refrigerant alternative.

The primary fashionable electrical air con unit was invented by Willis Haviland Service in Buffalo in 1902.

Present air-conditioning programs use piston or rotary compressors to pump with the dangerous hydrofluorocarbons.

Now, Palma has been acknowledged for her feat by the Worldwide Federation of Inventors’ Affiliation (IFIA), which invited her to Switzerland in February — however did not attend as a result of she was then graduating.
