MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631050625 A) filed by Jis College Of Engineering, Nadia, West Bengal, on April 21, for 'smart solar-powered compact cloth dryer with tentative drying time indication.'
Inventor(s) include Debjit Mohanta; Shubhrojit Modak; Pritam Saha; Rohan Chandra Das; Dr. Anal Ranjan Sengupta; Dr. Palash Biswas; and Mr. Abhisek Hazra.
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: "A smart solar-powered compact cloth dryer is disclosed, which utilizes an integrated suite of environmental sensors and a control unit to predict and display a tentative drying duration. The system comprises a solar panel for energy harvesting, a compact drying chamber, and a power management module that may include energy storage for continuous operation during low-light conditions. By monitoring variables such as temperature, humidity, and sunlight intensity in real-time, the dryer dynamically adjusts its operational parameters and provides user updates via a digital interface or smartphone application. This invention offers an energy-efficient, portable, and intelligent alternative to traditional drying methods, specifically optimized for space-constrained residential environments."
