A Coruna, Aug. 9 (EFE) .- The entrepreneur Alvaro Santamaria has outlined an innovative idea which aims to build for cities across the energy cars accessing them waiting see in operation within a year with the objective of promoting a high electricity savings.
The researcher, who just finished law at the National University of Distance Education (UNED), after being trained in computer management and electronic, is a big fan of mechanics.
And finally been able to dispose of this concern own, confesses in an interview with Efe, the hand of the “Recharge your city” with which it aims to “use the energy lost when cars enter cities and slow”, recycling it and making it “electricity”.
His invention is able to collect the energy lost in braking cars when they reduce their speed access to the cities from high capacity roads to urban roads.
With a complex system of plates robotic control installed in Arduino soil, your device gets convert the kinetic energy of each vehicle that passes over into electricity through a series of circuits designed for this purpose.
Santamaria stresses the importance of these plates they get a system would need a large area for development is reduced to a small space under the road.
For this current there are “several options” are the two most feasible send it directly “to the grid” and ” accumulate in batteries deep as those used in solar panels for use when needed “cycle, leading to significant savings.
In this regard, he made a detailed study per 100,000 vehicles access a city is able to illuminate 44 kilometers of LED lamps with a single device; however, could be more if different devices along several meters or kilometers are located.
This calculation serves to A Coruña, where the number of cars circulating every day -the main means of access Alfonso Molina Avenue and multiplied by dozens in locations such as Madrid, besides the possibility of doubling the devices not only for entry but also for the output.
The project goes through manufacturing “in Galicia “, where the company would be based and then expand” the rest of Europe and where it can “with an internationalization plan designed to” within five years “.
Not surprisingly, since November Alvaro Santamaria 2014 works at the School of Industrial Organization to “develop a convincing business plan with a financial plan and you do not run alone in the idea, but in the creation of a company itself.”
What encouraged to stand for several awards from the university, for which he completed the proposal with “the business plan, marketing studies and much more,” he made that pleased special jury manner.
This process obtained the first prize in the Start-Up competition and also in the CMETT entrepreneurship program and thanks to an “idea” that had “long ago”, but had never been put into practice.
“A few months ago I discovered robotic control plates called Arduino. There I saw the opportunity to make this happen, the way in which to develop the idea. Vi feasibility to develop the project and implement it, “he continues.
was prepared thoroughly with courses such as one who taught at the National Museum of Science and Technology (MUNCYT) and a few days ago with the completed project, and filed the patent to avoid plagiarism.
“The approach is ready to take it, find investors and assemble the company,” he says, adding that will make a first device to show its operation model real, but the idea is to “have it up within six months and one year to start selling.”
need 300,000 euros, knowing that it is “better to go some left over money that does not reach half Road with empty pockets “, although it is optimistic and hopes to see his idea in different cities within a short time. EFE
