MUMBAI, India, Aug. 10 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411103218 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on December 26, 2024, for Adaptive Non-Newtonian Fluid Speed Breaker With Integrated Energy Harvesting System.
Inventor includes Jyoti.
The application for the patent was published on July 31, 2026, under issue no. 31/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an adaptive non-Newtonian fluid speed breaker with an integrated energy harvesting system, designed to enhance road safety and energy efficiency. The speed breaker comprises a non-Newtonian fluid chamber that adjusts its viscosity in response to the force exerted by passing vehicles, allowing for a smooth passage at normal speeds and increased resistance when speed limits are exceeded. Integrated energy harvesting strips, composed of piezoelectric materials, convert mechanical energy from vehicle movement into electrical energy. Pressure sensors embedded within the structure measure the force applied by vehicles, and a digital control unit processes this data to adjust the fluid's behavior and log traffic and energy data. An automatic signal generator provides alerts for any malfunctions, while a kinetic energy to electricity converter stores generated electricity for powering nearby devices. This invention is particularly suited for applications in traffic management and renewable energy generation.
