    Eulogio Camacho Tibay was a Filipino inventor born in 1923 who invented a special screw that can withstand motion and vibration, a corrugated plastic roofing assembly, a cigarette filter, and an amphibian vehicle. In 1974, he came in second place in an inventor's contest for his typewriter ribbon reinker invention, which he received a patent for. His most notable invention was the "energized artificial leg" which allowed people without legs to stand, walk, sit, or kneel using leverage and attached strings to mimic natural leg motion. Tibay's later project was a perforated wall along the eastern Philippines coast intended to break up typhoons.

    Eulogio Camacho Tibay (March 11, 1923 - November


    19, 2001) was a Filipino inventor. He invented a special
    screw which can withstand all kinds of motion and
    vibration, a corrugated plastic roofing assembly; a
    cigarette filter and an amphibian vehicle.

    In 1974 he entered an inventor's contest and came


    second and that invention was the typewriter ribbon
    reinker for which he applied patent for and was
    granted. His most recent invention was the "energized
    artificial leg." "With this invention, a person without a
    leg can stand, walk, sit, or kneel with just a push of a
    lever. A draw strap connected to the waist and arms
    enables the person to walk. When the person walks, he
    or she swings the arms. Strings are attached to the
    hands, so when the arms swing back and forth, the
    motion creates tension, which moves the legs forward
    and so on." Tibay's more recent project is a perforated
    wall to run along the whole eastern coast of the
    Philippines called "Typhoon Breaker"
