"Missionary Electricity"

Missionary electricity was my responsibility as the VP for Utility Operations of the National Power Corporation, and earlier worked as the Chief of the Nuclear Plant Systems Division of President Ferdinand E Marcos’ nuclear power project PNPP#1.

This Technology with benefits to the COMMUNITIES would be along the 36,289 kilometers of shorelines in the Philippines, and along the shorelines of lakes, brackish water, and marshes. This is done with small engines. Any capacity, lower, or higher than 200-horsepower would similarly perform for the Project. An engine with a shaft horsepower of 200 is chosen for this presentation, because it is the threshold for having enough energy input to the commonly available the Lithium-Bromide Absorption Chiller in the market. 

A Basic Reference Chart for this Technology


This technology RECOVERS waste energy to become FREE energy to


AND my own feeling is that armed people in the MOUNTAINS, and elsewhere, would want to experience the PROGRESS of COMMUNITIES.

The Traditional Salt Farm will be Revived with Mini or Micro Salt Farms

Traditional salt farms are normally faced with rain, showers, cloudiness. It is dependdent upon the hot sun rays. It faces the challenges brought about by nature. 

The growth of population and industries near these farms also have the tendency to push back the salt farms, sometimes put them out. So do shopping malls. 

This Project welcomes the entry of Micro, or Mini Salt farms. Salt water going to these alternative salt farms are heavily concentrated, so that only a small amount of water evaporates to provide dried salt crystals ready for harvesting. This new process does not exclusively need the sun. It provides FREE energy to dry the salt crystals. 

Why IMPORT salt to make it available? Salt is given here, and not purchased. 

                                                                                                                                                                    

The Tricycle which is Electric or Hybrid-Electric

The emphasis these days is that the means of transportation be electric. This Project could be positively seen, because of the added Outputs that come out of it.

That rear wheel on the passenger side is provided with sprockets that receive power from the electric motor that is also anchored at that side. 

Very simply, the migration of the tricycle to a hybrid-electric tricycle, as evident, could be the first step. The electric side could be considered as an added feature. Thus, it becomes a very natural flow for the Project. It preserves the fuel-based component. 

The next step is by an electric tricycle which will be fabricated as a whole vehicle. 

The ECONOMICS will see this migration as a departure from Importation to LOCAL design, manufacture, sourcing, and the opening of the EXPORT market.

                                                                                                                                                                    

Bongao, Sibutu, or Similar Communities are examples of` Isolated Communities that will Benefit

Bongao and Sibutu, Philippines, are examples of places where the Project might become very successful in producing beneficial efforts for the Community. 

The guide for three stages of conversation with the community on the home page might be a priority out of respect for Communities.

This image is developed from Google Earth Pro. The values for "perimeter" and for "area" are very rough estimates and should not be considered as the basis for any authoritative statement. Wikipedia said 109 square kilometers. 

If the island of Sibutu does not have abundant drinking water there, the shoreline says that the Project will make it so rich. Electricity will cost very low. Water, salt, and dried fish will certainly give the island bags of income. 

For example, a small island like Sibutu would be earning from 70 kilograms of salt per hour.  There are 1,000 kilograms in one metric ton. The lowest international price of salt is USD300 per metric ton. The hourly income is 70 divided by 1000 and then multiplied by 300, equals 21 USD per hour. 

At an exchange rate of 57 pesos per dollar, this amount is equivalent to an income for Sibutu of PhP1,197 per hour. On salt alone, this income translates to PhP861,840 a month on a 720-hour monthly operation. This amount plus income on electricity, water, dryer, electricity-driven boats, and other products, LESS expenses will become the profit for the community. 

If owned by the Community of Sibutu, this profit will STAY in Sibutu, and not taken away as a profit of the owner of the project. 

Said before, at the Economics and IRR Section is the recommendation that the Community reduces the Profit to ZERO after the repayment of the investment. The living expense of the Community will be radically reduced. And the Members will reap the BENEFITS.

This method will make the prices of all the products lower. The Community will be enjoying the Profits that were passed on to the rates. 

Google Earth Pro on the web has given the shoreline of Sibutu Island as roughly 64 kilometers, or maybe more, or maybe less. 

Wikipedia says: 

"People living in Sibutu Island are mostly boat builders. The people also sell seaweeds, firewood and stones."

If this is so, Sibutu might think of installing an electric motor to drive the propeller of the boats, similar to what is said, above, about a fuel-driven tricycle. This Project would build the Sibutu Community a "First Class Municipality."

The quote from the "Technical Schematics" Section:

One nice characteristic of this system is that depending upon the technical properties of the system, an Ammonia Compressor may be also driven by the shaft to make "ice" for the fishing groups. They would load the ice that they need onto their boats before they go out fishing. 

The Ammonia ice-maker and the Batteries share power from the engine, through the shaft. 

In short, a fast charging battery will get reduced power when the Ammonia ice-maker goes ON. Similarly, the charging current will go up again when the ice-maker compressor goes OFF. 

The algorithm of the Control system could easily handle this. It will see that the compressor has engaged, and the predetermined torque would be converted into equivalent power. That value will be used by the Controller to determine the amount of charging current that will be reduced.

Going a little further, an existing electric cooperative may decide to undertake a project like this one. If it already has a distribution wire, the cooperative already knows that their power plant follows the load up, or down. 

A very small tweak can be put in for batteries to absorb the excess power, when the load is low. This will make the cooperative happier because their financial standing will become very solid. These batteries can be used to run tricycles and boats, making their running costs very low. 

Another feature is to recover the energy from the exhaust and the jacket water of the existing power plant to produce drinking water, salt, drying energy, and energy for the absorption chiller. 

Seeing its location, its history, and its current status, the Economy of Sibutu is CAPABLE of jumping so high, and running so fast. Being sixth class municipality, is it too optimistic to say that it can be first class? 

Is there doubt that it will surpass the PhP338,653.50 of annual revenue with a monthly revenue of PhP861,000, based only on the production of 70 kilograms per hour of clean salt? 

(Source: https://cmci.dti.gov.ph/prov-profile.php?prov=Tawi-Tawi&year=2021)

Adding other income, such as water, dryer, ice, chilling, and electricity, is enough reason to see Sibutu as first class municipality is only about three to five years away. This is reflected in the Economics and IRR Section on this website. 

A similar projection for Bongao to become first class municipality could be made. It is 2nd class and has an income of PhP19,250,239.22. Salt alone will give Bongao PhP10.3 million in one year.  Add electricity, water, dryer products, ice and chilling, to salt. Does this tells that becoming first class municipality is only about a year or so away? 

In summary:

This map simply shows Bohol, Philippines, having the treasure mine of the beaches, WITHOUT destroying the ECOLOGY. In this System, NO toxic brine will be thrown back to the sea and kill the living organisms there. Salt is kept on land, and water could be sold to hotels there.

                                                                                                                                                                    

Traditional Rice Drying by the Sun

This old method of drying rice with the heat from the sun is normally done in areas where localities have concrete roads. Oops, a driver might shout after a turn. Then he steps on the brakes. 

The more remote areas will have no concrete roads where rice could be layed to dry. Those areas use big mats made of bamboo, or leaves, layed on the soil, in many cases on the grass. Then comes the freshly harvested rice for drying from 25% moisture after harvest to 13% to 14% for milling. 

The International Rice Research Institute has developed a Rice Knowlege Bank, where data for the rice is found. This is found on the internet at this link:

http://www.knowledgebank.irri.org/step-by-step-production/postharvest/milling/milling-and-quality/measuring-moisture-content-in-milling#:~:text=For%20milling%2C%20the%20ideal%20moisture,is%20between%2013%20and%2014%25.

In some rural areas, there were (after the Second World War in Jamindan, Capiz) ambulant rice mills using gasoline-driven engines to do the milling. 

If there are still ambulant rice mills today, these could could use electric motors in place of the engines. The milling cost per kilogram would radically drop because of high efficiencies, as the mill will use only the electricity that it needs. 

Very briefly, compare the costs of two scenarios. 100 units of money goes into buying fuel - the starting point for each. Each of the engines having a rated efficiency of 30% at full load. 

100 units of money are used to mill the rice, that is operating only at 100% load. Assign "KgRice" to the amount of rice milled by 100 units of money.

The 100 unit are divided into three, 1) 30 goes electricity, then to the battery, then to the motor shaft, 2) 60% will go to water, salt, drying, chilling, and ice-making, and 3) 10% goes to losses to the environment.

Assume 85% as the efficiency of driving the shaft of the milling machine from electricity, 

When the 85% efficiency is assigned to the process, the quantity of "KgRice" produced by the 30 units of money will be 85%, which is 15% less than the first scenario. The means the amount of rice will be "0.85KgRice." 

Working back the 30 units of money will be divided by the conversion efficiency from electricity to the shaft of the motor. Thus 30 units of money divided by 0.85 results in 35. 

This means that to produce the same amount of rice as the engine-driven, the money needed here is 35 units. 

Conclusion #1: To produce the same quantity of milled rice, the engine-driven will spend 100 units of money, while the motor-driven 35 units.

Conclusion #2: The engine-driven throws away 70 units of money. For the same amount of milled rice, the motor-driven recovers and uses 60 units divided by 0.85, or 70 units of money going to water, salt, dryer, chilling and ice-making. Its loses amount to 10% divided by 0.85, equals 11.8 units of money.

Conclusion #3: Just the concept of producing the same amount of milled rice, the motor-driven will need 118 units of money for the fuel input. In effect the money earned from water, salt, etc. will increase in the same proportion as the increase of the units of money for the fuel.

Once the Project operates, the Community will be able to calculate whether the cost of transporting rice to millers would be more economical than putting up a small electricity-operated rice mill like this one. Factored in this comparison will include transportation, drying, miller fees, losses, time, and delays due to waiting. Intangible factors are the jobs generated by the Community, salaries, and the profits the Community will make. 

This last factor is based upon the concept that Profits will NOT go out, but they will be circulated within the Community.

And the batteries will be coming from the Project, fully charged.

In remote areas, it might NOT be a waste of thinking energy if this system would replace three people "pounding rice." And without spending time pounding rice, they might think of expanding their plots to harvest more rice and raise vegetables, too. 

Would it be that some Communities in remote areas simply buy milled rice, and not plant more of it because of the usual commuting distance to the rice mill and back? And if electricity driven rice mills are available in those communities, would the quantity of rice harvests increase in time?

There is a story about a family building an apartment complex with malls, restaurants, and recreation. 

Attracted by that location, some people rent out their houses in the provinces, and with their income, they come to this complex to rent units. The owners understand that the more people there are, the more money flows to improve the business within the complex.

This small rice mill could be owned by the Community. And this way more JOBS would be created, in addition to the expansion of FOOD production. Why NOT?

                                                                                                                                                                    

Sari-Sari Stores Selling Preserved Food will be Selling More Tapa, Danggit, Tuyo, Dried Mango, etc.

This picture is offering many products wrapped in plastic bags for care. Bawang, sibuyas, luya, danggit, tuyo, tapa, dried mangos, and many, many more are here. 

The Project will improve the profitability of a small store, like this one. It will be clean, sanitary, with no wastage from flies, birds, rats, and the influence of moisture in light moisture condensation, called hamog in Pilipino or dew, mist, or fog.

And would there be an increase of these products in the market?

The fish are split and cleaned. Here, the heat of the sun comes downward. In the new system, the heat will be coming from the source under. And that source is clean with no smoke. In effect, the heating of the lower portion might even activate the drying more effectively. This statement has not been tested except in the effectiveness of a frying pan, or of a griller. 

The fish will need to be flipped over so that the other side will be exposed to heat. Since the new system will be capable of operating day or night, it can be in the imagination that MORE JOBS will be created, fishing catch might expand, too. This can happen because of the system's ability to produce ice, preserve catch through chilling, equip the boats with electric motors in place of gasoline-driven engines. 

It is clear that costs will go down because the electric motor will be more efficient, and does not need as much maintenance costs as the gasoline engines. Motors for fishing boats will be more quiet, more efficient and will not contribute to pollution. Will the motors need less attention than a gasoline engine?

Putting these above warm galvanized sheets at controlled temperatures will be shielded from some natural changes in weather. Natural weather changes are sometimes felt as threats to the products being "sun-dried" on screens like the ones displayed above.

Would you want your products sold in shelves of stores in the United States of America?

Rumors have been published about certain places the mango capitals in the Philippines.

Would santol be on the same shelf as dates?

And papaya, too? Is papaya in the family of figs?

                                                                                                                                                                    

The Preparing of Copra to Become Exportable Due to the Inability of Aflatoxin to Develop

The Department of Agriculture of the Philippines issued a report on "Ensuring the Safety and Quality of Copra" on December 10, 2021, and one paragraph from that report is quoted below:

"Importing countries, such as the European Union (EU), imposed stringent requirements on feed materials due to possible aflatoxin contamination [4]. On August 1, 2003, the EU, through its Directive 2002/32/EC, reduced the allowable aflatoxin content in feed materials, such as copra meal, from 200 parts per billion (ppb) to 20 ppb [8, 9]. As a result, the Philippines suspended its export of copra meal to the EU unless aflatoxin levels were ensured to be below the requirement [10]."

(Source: TECHNICAL BULLETIN, Bureau of Agriculture and Fisheries Standards, Number 09, entitled Ensuring Safety and Quality of Copra -  https://bafs.da.gov.ph/bafs_admin/admin_page/publications_pdf/TB%20Copra_final.pdf)

The Philippine Coconut Authority considers Salt as a fertilizer for coconuts. "The use of salt as fertilizer at a rate of 1-2 kg salt/tree is estimated to give the added benefits of P10,000 – P19,000 (Table 3) per ha per year at P12/kg copra."

Viewed from the helicopter at 3,000 feet above ground, coconut plantations look like a very wonderful-looking carpet.

The importing countries, are very observant about the processing of copra, like sun-drying, drying over fire and smoke. They care about moisture, contamination, pesticides, aflatoxin, and others. In effect, they refuse to accept copra about their concerns on the health of people and the animals that are fed.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in their Regional Conference in May 2004, issued a report, entitled, "AFLATOXIN CONTAMINATION IN FOODS AND FEEDS IN THE PHILIPPINES." A passage in this report, SEEMS to make this Project one reason for its existence.

Quote1: 

"The white meat from the coconut is dried directly or indirectly by various methods like sun-drying, tapahan or kukum method. High moisture copra can easily be contaminated with aflatoxin."

Quote2: "CARCINOGENICITY

Aflatoxin are known to be human carcinogens based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenocity in humans (IARC 1987, 1993). Aflatoxicoses is a poisoning resulting from ingestion of aflatoxin-contaminated food in feed. A case-control study in the Philippines, where mean aflatoxin contamination levels in dietary items were established and individual levels of aflatoxin consumption were determined retrospectively, demonstrated an increased, dose-related risk of developing hepatocellular cancer in persons with higher ingestion of aflatoxin."

The drying of copra through open fire with smoke puts the product on a "Risk Class 4," which is a high risk. The following table has been taken from a document of EU.

In a conference of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) had a presentation on the production in the Philippines and the standards of the European Union regarding copra. A snapshot of a slide presented:

(Source: https://unctad.org/system/files/non-official-document/ditc-tab-112017-vanuatu-GIZ-II-1.pdf)

The Project's drying system for copra will erase concerns about the health safety of copra. It is not exposed to the environment and the drying process is through indirect heating without smoke that produces that risky substance called "PAH" (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons).

                                                                                                                                                                    

Water to Drink

QUOTE from the WHO –

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 2.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking, with people in rural areas with limited infrastructure being mostly affected.

Within the Philippines, this concept manifests in that 91% of the country’s estimated 100.7 million population have access to basic water services, but access is highly inequitable across the country, with regional basic water services access ranging from 62% to 100%. To combat water insecurity, government bodies, non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) and independent parties have collaborated to ensure that all citizens have access to clean drinking water in the Philippines.  (https://borgenproject.org/clean-drinking-water-in-the-philippines/#:~:text=Within%20the%20Philippines%2C%20this%20concept,from%2062%25%20to%20100%25.)

The production of water here will be approved by licensed Professional Mechanical Engineers, Professional Chemical Engineers, and Professional Chemists. The most important factors are:

The Community will have a hefty INCOME in selling the water produced, to hotels, resorts, food processing companies, and others.

The economics of the Community will enable drinking water to be given for free. This can be so because of the hefty income from salt. What about electricity, drying, chilling, and drying, as well?

Coastlines of the Philippines in relation to other countries in Asia. The Philippines has the longest coastlines among the countries on this map. It places fifth in the World. The chart below will shows this. Opportunities for Communities (cities, towns, barrios, barangays, etc) are so abundant for the Philippines to take advantage of. 

                                                                                                                                                                    

Coastlines, or Shorelines, with the Philippines Being the Fifth Longest in the World with 36,289  Kilometers

The two charts above are telling of the economic foundation of opportunities for the Philippines. 

FILIPINO PROFESSIONALS

It is understandable that the countries with Advanced Technology will tell authorities that this technology is NOT done anywhere, and does not have proof that it is successful. 

Yes, there is no proof, but our professionals could push the pencils and come up with the conclusion that it carries abundant opportunities.

Any of the past three Deans of the School of Mechanical Engineering of the Mapua Institute of Technology, or minds similar to theirs could be consulted and leave the analysis to them without seeming to appear like wanting to have them come up with results favorable to the characteristics of this Project. 

The names of the past three Deans of the Mapua Institute of Technology that taught us Engineering are Domingo S Mendoza, Feliciano Rodriguez, and Francisco E Dumalaog.  While I was in government, I also worked well with Dean Francisco L Viray, and later with DOST Secretary Fortunato de la Peña. 

Those who worked with very high responsibilities at the National Power Corporation of the Philippines (NAPOCOR) are worth consulting. They are Amado C Vicencio, Jr, Oscar M Cruz, Danilo S Sedilla, Joe Abinoja, Pio Benavidez, and many, many more. 

For Instrumentation, Automation, and Distributed Independent Controls with SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), I would include Professors Arsol Reyes, Toto Oppus, Bong Monje, Nat Libatique, Leonora Guico, Greg Tangonan, and the other members of the Faculty of the ECCE Department of the Ateneo de Manila University. I worked very closely with Fr Jett Villarin, SJ, Dr Niño Uy and Mang Cally for the Prototype Hybrid-Electric Tricycle.

The intricate engineering here are in the type of heat exchangers that are easy to maintain, because this Project will present corrosion issues on the paths of gas, of salt water, and the food side of the drying surfaces. They will be competent in the design of the heat exchangers and the fluid flows, fabrication of all the metal components, and the maintenance of the system. 

All these professionals are imbued by experience in sharing of skills and the very humane approach to people.

The layout of the components will need to be "aesthetic", as well. In Davao City, there is an Architect there who designed Parks that people have liked. This Architect has introduced a very innovative approach to beauty and friendliness with Nature and the Environment. This innovative approach is in the design and implementation of the FLOATING GROUND his "end of life architecture." In an interview by "Mindanao Art" on YouTube he says his work is "to restore the earth and restore humanity with it." His name is Architect Edmund Viacrucis. 

In effect, this Technology will also present itself NOT a simply HODGEPODGE of technologically acceptable components. 

An innovative design might call on people around the World to come and spend relaxation time there, enjoy the atmosphere and the quality of life in a Community of simple, respectful, and equally kind People to each other.

First, they give what they can.

Second, accept what they need. 

And Third is to share what they have harvested from the Environment and Nature for the benefit of the Community and of those others that need them.

Dean Domingo S Mendoza taught this lesson in his classes in 1956, surely in his other classes, too:

But this is NOT all. Keep in mind that the Lithium-Bromide Absorption Chiller harvests energy from the Environment. It was discussed here as a Heat Pump with a Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 1.12, which is the amount of energy being transferred DIVIDED by the input energy to transfer it. The input harvests energy from be goods in the chiller and bring this out into the atmosphere. 

Here, energy is NOT thrown away but sent to the Dryer. 

So, if 100 units of energy from the condensed water is the input to the Absorption Chiller, it will harvest 100 multiplied by 1.12 equals 112 units of energy from the chilling chamber. Then, 100+112=212 units will go to the Dryer. 

Worth mentioning that this topic was discussed in the "Technical Schematics" Section where the source is the United States Department of Energy. The references ares

I have seen the Partnership between the fishpond and poop of chicken. 

What did I esperience?

In summer, the poop were dried and then spread on the dry part of the fishpond, over the moss. When water entered, the moss was clearly in blossom. 

Hey, did you know that the bangus gained weight much faster, feeding on the blossoming moss?

And, what about duck eggs that are put in INCUBATORS to become Penoy and Balut?

But incubators are run by electricity, isn't it?

Yes, modern incubators use electricity to run it. 

In this system, heat comes from the project and have batteries to provide the standby power backup.


And is this project of help to those selling "Peking Duck"?
