MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511113225 A) filed by Ims Engineering College, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, on Nov. 18, 2025, for 'energy harvesting shock absorber system for vehicles using electromechanical conversion.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Vivek Pandey.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a novel energy-harvesting shock absorber designed to convert mechanical vibrations and oscillations generated during vehicle motion into usable electrical energy while simultaneously providing effective damping. The device integrates a dual-function system comprising a conventional hydraulic damping chamber and an electromagnetic or piezoelectric energy conversion unit enclosed within a compact, modular structure. As the piston rod moves due to road-induced vibrations, the relative motion between the magnetic core and coil generates electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. The harvested energy is rectified, regulated, and stored in an onboard energy storage unit such as a battery or supercapacitor. An intelligent damping control module, equipped with sensors and a microcontroller, dynamically adjusts damping characteristics to maintain ride comfort and stability while optimizing energy recovery. The invention is lightweight, scalable, and compatible with existing vehicle suspension systems, making it suitable for automobiles, electric vehicles, railways, and industrial machinery. This innovation provides a sustainable and efficient means of reclaiming wasted mechanical energy, improving overall vehicle energy efficiency and supporting the transition toward green and intelligent mobility solutions."
