A group of high school students built a machine that uses plastic bottles to produce electricity. According to a Game Changer report in ''24 Oras'' on Friday, the ''trash-bot'' was developed by Grade 10 students John Apolinar,

The article from MSN discusses an innovative project called "Trash Bot," developed by students at the University of the Philippines Diliman. This robot is designed to collect plastic bottles and convert them into electricity. The Trash Bot operates by crushing the collected plastic bottles, which are then used to generate power through a process that involves heating the plastic to produce steam, which in turn drives a turbine connected to a generator. This initiative not only helps in managing plastic waste but also provides a sustainable energy solution. The project aims to address both environmental pollution and energy needs, showcasing how technology can be leveraged for ecological benefits. The students behind this project hope to expand its application to larger scales, potentially impacting waste management and renewable energy sectors significantly.
