a turbine that improves the performance of aviation enginesa pipe perforator that avoids shutting off the water while working, a lifeguard bracelet and a shower for trucks stand out among the best Spanish inventions of the year.

According to an analysis by the Spanish Inventors Club, these are the Top 10 Inventions Patented in 2022.

A turbine for aviation engines

The engineer José Fernández Montes has patented a oblong turbine:an air compressor device whose blades, instead of describing a circular path, draw an oblong path with a linear section where the speed is constant for the entire surface of the blade, which provides advantages as an alternative system currently used in aviation engines.

With this innovation Fernández Montes has managed to each blade follows a trajectory that is not circular and gives a higher performance to aviation engines in terms of air compression than previously performed by the turbine. According to its inventor, the blades in the novel turbine increase average airspeedso compression increases and engine consumption decreases.

Pipe perforator and diverter

Germán Sánchez is the inventor of a pipe perforator and diverter for pierce a pipe through which a fluid circulates and allow a splice to be made without the need to cut off the fluidfor example, in a water pipe without cutting off the supply to the neighborhood while the operator works.

José Carlos Gutiérrez has invented an innovative lifesaving bracelet, which incorporate a GPS device and a strobe lightand at the same time it is comfortable and easy to carry. The device is activated by pressing a button and just pulling a piece activates the inflator.

María Consuelo San Félix has patented a laptop tray cabinet that allows you to save and at the same time use laptops when there is more than one at home.

Purine removal system

Carlos Dávila and Francisco Ruiz are the inventors of a purine removal system and compost them or in fuel and that can also be used for the remains of olive pressing and other organic matter, as long as they present a liquid and a solid fraction. The method comprises a first stage of separation by filtration of the liquid part of the organic matter, evacuating it to the outside of the container, and then subjecting the solid part to a fermentation process inside the same container.

United Nations original hamburger sandwich cutter without breaking down is the invention of Julio Peral, who has devised a ring-shaped system that allows cutting a traditional multi-tiered hamburger sandwich with all its ingredients without falling apart.

United Nations cabinet to collect plastic containers and compact them on the spot is the invention of Ramón Garcés to save space in establishments and facilitate their storage and transport to the container. The cabinet has an inlet opening at the top and the containers, once flattened, fall directly into the storage bag found inside and which takes the shape of a straight and flexible cylinder whose dimensions are projected so that It can be easily inserted into the container.

Juan Rada has patented a device for remote toll payment by coded automatic detection which also controls a series of vehicle parameters, such as the direction or speed at which it travels. It is an electronic device that works through a mobile station located inside the car that communicates with a base station and controls the entry, route and exit of the vehicle from the motorway to make automatic or deferred payment without having to stop the vehicle at the toll booth.

José Emilio Parra has invented a universal device for the toilet parachute regulate and calibrate the amount of water which is used to discharge the bathroom cistern without having to touch anything. The invention, which has been called WCSENSOR, is activated by means of a proximity sensor that guarantees the safety and hygiene of the users, who can adjust the amount of water from the discharges and do not have to touch any button.

International route truck driver Joaquim Barbosa has invented a shower system attachable to the truck cabin so that drivers can shower inside the vehicle. The system consists of a heating device which takes advantage of the heat produced by the operation of the vehicle in which it is installed to heat the water, a mobile shower that can be placed in the trunk at the end of each use and a set of water tanks that feed the shower.
