MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641051647 A) filed by Cvr College Of Engineering, Hyderabad, Telangana, on April 23, for 'mechanical regenerative braking system for non-electric vehicles.'
Inventor(s) include Lava Kumar Polisetty.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The current invention relates to a device for the recovery of mechanical energy that should be applied in regular vehicles with mechanical propulsion. In ordinary braking, the energy stored in the form of motion of the moving vehicle dissipates as heat energy due to the friction force. This results in a loss in efficiency. The new system uses the mechanical link to capture some of the energy while the vehicle is decelerating. It uses an energy storage device like a spinning wheel or springs to store this energy until it can be released to assist in accelerating the vehicle again, thus decreasing the effort required from the engine, saving the fuel at the same time. The device is fairly simple to make and does not contain any electronic parts."
