According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The current invention reveals a nano-scale energy harvesting device that will be used to harvest, concentrate and manage very small amounts of ambient energy created by mechanical vibrations, temperature differences, electromagnetic disturbances, and the interactions of material at nanoscale. Traditional energy-harvesting solutions tend to be at macro or micro scale and use rigid and fixed conversion pathways incapable of responding to changes in source strength or external perturbations. This has led to a lack of consistent, underutilized and inappropriate harvested energy to power miniature autonomous devices, biomedical sensors, implanted electronics, and distributed internet of things nodes. The invention has tackled these inadequacies by proposing a nano engineered harvesting structure with an intelligent power-flow regulation scheme that can self optimize conversion efficiency. The invention is a multi-material nanostructure which responds to heterogeneous energy signatures of very small magnitudes. Examples of the stimuli used by the harvester include strain at nanoscale, tiny temperature changes, oscillations of the surface charges and the weak electromagnetic fields. Piezoelectric, triboelectric, thermo-electric and plasmonic interactions between nano-architecture convert these signals into useful electrical output. Due to the changing environmental conditions, the nature of the harvested energy also varies which can be more responsive in nature compared to the conventional regulators. The proposed invention dissolves these challenges by integrating an AI-based power circulation controller that analyzes the incoming power patterns, forecasts temporary changes and dynamically controls the routing and storing in the harvested power. The artificial intelligent power regulation layer keeps an eye on the conversion behaviour, internal impedance, saturation levels of nanostructure and stability of outputs. It uses foreseeable logic to dole out amassed energy to micro-storage parts, direct utilization pathways, or buffered bank accounts depending on the anticipated demand. This guarantees that the intermittent, pulsed, or unstable nanoscale energy can be converted to a continuous, dependable and cost-effective energy source. Predictive flow intelligence can be integrated to provide autonomous self optimization behaviour, and so the system is applicable in applications where conventional power sources cannot be used, such as implantable medical devices, environmental nanobots and ultra miniature sensing platforms."
