MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641049514 A) filed by J. B. Institute Of Engineering And Technology, Hyderabad, Telangana, on April 17, for 'adaptive energy-regenerative mechanical braking system with load-responsive optimization and dynamic thermal control.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. P. C. Krishnamachary; Dr. Chintakindi Sanjay; Dr. Anoop Kumar Shukla; Mr. J. Nagaraju; Mr. Shaik Ashraf; and Mrs. P. Seema Rani.
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 present invention relates to an adaptive energy-regenerative mechanical braking system configured to optimize energy utilization during braking operations. The system comprises a frictional braking interface, a mechanical energy capture unit, a load-responsive modulation mechanism, and a thermal management module. During braking, a portion of kinetic energy is diverted into a mechanical storage system including a torsional spring and/or flywheel arrangement, thereby reducing energy loss through heat dissipation. The load-responsive mechanism dynamically adjusts braking force based on operational conditions such as speed and load using mechanically actuated components. The thermal management module incorporates conductive pathways and thermally responsive materials to control heat distribution and minimize localized overheating. The stored mechanical energy is selectively reusable for assisting motion or auxiliary functions. The invention enhances braking efficiency, reduces wear, and improves system longevity while maintaining a predominantly mechanical configuration suitable for diverse applications."
