Patents by Inventor David Jesus Yanez Villarreal

David Jesus Yanez Villarreal has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10641243
    Abstract: An electrical power generator includes a first part configured to be located in a fluid such that, when the fluid moves, it generates vortices in the fluid so that a lift force is generated on the first part, which produces an oscillating movement of the first part, which has an amplitude. The natural oscillation frequency of the first part may be adjusted to wind speed by way of magnets, which repel each other. Magnets may also be used to generate electrical currents in coils. The first part can have a diameter that increases with distance above the base of the generator.

  • Publication number: 20200049130
    Abstract: An electrical power generator comprises a capturing element (1) attached to a base (1000) in correspondence with a first end (11) thereof. The capturing element is located in a fluid and configured such that, when the fluid moves, the capturing element generates vortices in the fluid which produce an oscillating movement of the capturing element (1). The capturing element (1) has a cross section with a characteristic dimension, which decreases from a first longitudinal position (11A) located closer to the first end (11) than to a second end (12) until a second longitudinal position (12A) located closer to the second end (12) than the first longitudinal position (11A).

  • Patent number: 9856854
    Abstract: Wind turbine consisting of an anchoring to the ground or to a base and a mast, the natural oscillation frequency of which is purposely adjusted to the frequency of appearance of the air vortices or eddies produced after the collision of a laminar and stationary airflow against the surface thereof. The aeroelastic energy thus absorbed is converted into electrical energy due to the use of materials with high electromechanical coupling.

  • Publication number: 20160013737
    Abstract: Electrical energy generators are provided, and in one embodiment the generator, includes a capture element configured to be situated in a fluid so that a lift force is generated on said capture element, and at least one generator piezoelectric element. The capture element is associated to the generator piezoelectric element so that, when the generator is in a mode of electrical energy generation, repetitively and in response to the lift force, (a) it elastically deforms the generator piezoelectric element in such a way that said generator piezoelectric element passes from a first configuration to a second configuration, accumulating energy; and (b) it subsequently releases the generator piezoelectric element in such a way that said generator piezoelectric element returns to its first configuration in an oscillating manner, generating electrical energy.
