Diseño de un prototipo de maquinaria minera que transforme la energía mecánica no utilizada en energía eléctrica

Abstract

This titling project focuses on the needs of the "EL DORADO" Mining Company in Ecuador, which is engaged in gold mining. A significant energy leakage has been identified in the machines used, especially in the Chilean Mill, whose motors operate at a much higher speed than necessary. Although the motor produces 1750 revolutions per minute (rpm), only 19 rpm are required, generating excess energy and unused power. Specifically, the mill motor produces 304693.34 J of energy and 5078.22 W of power, but only uses 29857.07 J and 497.62 W. The project seeks to employ mathematical principles to convert this unused energy into electrical energy, which could increase efficiency and reduce costs in gold extraction at Sociedad Minera "EL DORADO".
