MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641121078 A) filed by Rajalakshmi Engineering Colleg on October 09, 2026, for System And Method For Harvesting Electrical Energy From Plant Root Growth Using Ai-Optimized Piezoel.
Inventor includes Dr. M. Thangamani.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: A system and method for harvesting electrical energy from the mechanical forces ofplant root germination 590 and growth using biodegradable piezoelecfrie Seed --c- o-atingsA: piezoelectric nanocoating layer (110) of 5 to 50 qicrometers is applied around agricultural seed shells, gen4rating micro-voltage as root tips exert 0.5 to 1.0 megapascals of pressure during germination and growth. A biodegradable conductive network (120) connects coated seeds in series-parallel configurations via conductive biopolymer micro-filament leads (121) to a buried collection wire (123). An energy collection hub (130) stores harvested energy in a 595 supercapacitor bank (132) and powers agricultural IoT devices including soil sensors, weather stations, and irrigation controllers. An Al optimization engine (200) optimizes coating thickness via engine (240), planting geometry via engine (250), electrical configuration via engine (260), and crop selection via engine (270) to maximize combined crop yield and energy output. A machine learning module (280) retrains models each season and applies transfer learning (282) across regions and crops. The system operates 600 underground with zero visual footprint and fully biodegrades within one growing season.
