This is the cheapest weather instrument that each and every Filipino should build and have in their homes.

Having one will empower the Pinoy against sudden severe typhoon weather conditions.

The materials can be found in your kitchen and is made out of items that you would normally discard as trash. You can literally build this without spending a single centavo.

Enjoy the experience of building your own Weather Instrument... the Aneroid Barometer in no time and no cost.

Mabuhay ang Pinoy!!!


This is the second time this video is uploaded... the first one is blocked in our own country... hopefully this one youtube would approved here. :-)

This is a must for every Filipino to build and have in his own home.

This low tech elementary school science project is so simple, cost almost free using stuff you normally would be throwing away in the garbage. Yet offer a very accurate weather change readouts. It's so easy to build and so easy to calibrate.

Any 3rd grade kid can do this.

I used to have one when I was a kid and it never failed to give me accurate weather forecast, that my Grandparents and elders would make it a habit to ask me for weather reports... Life was so easy and sunny back then.

Just to clarify to the uninitiated minds...

The Aneroid Barometer is an old school science project/ exercise... you can find this also in any elementary science project books.

The physics behind it is simple. The vacuum contained inside the jar keeps a constant pressure inside... so when there are any changes in the atmospheric pressure, the balloon on top of the jar will be affected... at High pressure weather, it will be pushed downwards... and during cloudy to stormy weather, it will be sucked upwards because the pressure inside the jar is much greater than the atmospheric pressure... the balloon will seem to be bulging outwards. With this movements on the balloon lid, we can take advantage of it by putting a lever in the form of the plastic straw... the end of the straw is glued at the center of the balloon while the section that touches the mouth or rim of the jar becomes the fulcrum (pivot point). Any movement will automatically be seen at the pointer end of the straw which is outside the circumference of the jar. Sealing the jar is paramount in order to keep the pressure inside it as constant as possible.

How do we take advantage of this?

Simple...

Before a storm touches ground in your area... the atmospheric pressure will already be dropping way ahead of it's arrival. This will provide you a much needed advance notice before a disaster could take place. giving you enough lead time to prepare your stuff, your family, yourself and make your pre-planned evacuation protocol to move to higher grounds.

In a typhoon infested country... one cannot be too prepared.

My job is merely to raise the much needed awareness for every Filipino living inside this beautiful country...

Mga kababayan ko... Libre na tayong mangarap at abutin ang ating mga pangarap. Ngunit, dapat din tayong maging handa sa lahat ng pagkakataon, upang ang mga pangarap na ito'y ating mapangalagaan laban sa lahat ng sakuna dulot ng Climate Change...

Mabuhay po tayong lahat.
