Investors Cruise to Roatán’s Real Estate Market
Alternative power source launched

A Cebuano engineer invented a power generator that could help the country solve energy problem. Engineer Noro Camomot invented the NJ-6
Sea Wave Electric Power Generator,
which could produce a maximum of 15 kilowatt electricity and could light an entire village.

The generator would rely on sea waves to produce renewable energy. “Waves is the driving power to move the rotating mechanism to generate electricity,” Camomot said. The generator only has to be anchored at least 10 meters away from the shoreline. Yesterday, the Visayan Inventors Association launched a three meter wide by three meter long floating platform, the actual size of the NJ-6 that could supply power to 50 lampposts, at the waters off the South Road Properties.

The cost of one commercial unit would range from P1 million to P 1.5 million with a life span of at least 10 years. The unit could also be used as a recreational area because of its floating platform, although such usage will diminish its life span. The amount of the electricity produced by the unit would depend on the size and specifications of the prospected buyer.  The Department of Energy (DOE) Visayas Field Office director Antonio Labios said the NJ-6 is a good invention since it produces renewable energy.  “This (NJ-6) is very applicable to the remote coastal areas in the country,” Labios said.

Camomot said he invented the NJ-6 to provide electricity to Filipinos who do not have access to electricity. “This is to aid the government's lighting projects on the remote islands,” Camomot said. Camomot did not receive financial support from the government when he invented the power generator.

He hoped that he would now get support from the national government with his invention done. The DOE and the Department of Science and Technology expressed interest in the NJ-6 power generator but said they would still observe its sustainability. “Our first priority is the Philippines. But if we cannot feel any support from the local government, then we will be forced to sell it to other countries,” said Luna.
