MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611022960 A) filed by Panipat Institute Of Engineering And Technology, Samalkha, Haryana, on Feb. 26, for 'dual-mode compressed air propulsion system for controlled above-ground mobility.'
Inventor(s) include Prof. Poonam Panwar; and Prof. Satish Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a dual-mode compressed air propulsion system for controlled above-ground mobility. The system utilizes at least one compressed air reservoir coupled to a primary air distribution manifold to supply compressed air to a reactive thrust propulsion path and a pneumatic motor propulsion path. An electronic control unit dynamically allocates compressed air between the propulsion paths based on user commands and sensed operating conditions to enable thrust-only, motor-drive-only, or hybrid propulsion modes. Optional features such as an air cushion lift module, thermal management elements, and regenerative recompression enhance efficiency, stability, and adaptability. The invention provides a clean, non-combustion, and spark-free propulsion solution suitable for industrial, robotic, and mobility applications operating in hazardous or emission-restricted environments."
