MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621010576 A) filed by Symbiosis International, Pune, Maharashtra, on Jan. 31, for 'flywheel-based regenerative braking clutch system.'
Inventor(s) include S Arun Prasad; Vedant Summanwar; Pascoal D'souza; Sajeed Shaikh; and Dr. Nitin Solke.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a regenerative braking system (100) designed for energy recovery during vehicle deceleration. The system (100) includes a wheel hub (102) providing an engagement interface for selective coupling with an adjustable slipping ball clutch, a brake pad assembly (104) mounted on the wheel hub (102), a clutch mechanism (106) incorporating the adjustable slipping ball clutch, a flywheel (108) operatively coupled to the clutch mechanism (106), and a driver controlled actuation unit (110) for engaging the clutch mechanism during braking. During operation, kinetic energy of the wheel hub (102) is transferred through the clutch mechanism (106) to the flywheel (108), storing rotational energy for later use. The adjustable slipping ball clutch (106) safeguards transmission elements against overload by disengaging at a predetermined torque limit, thereby ensuring mechanical protection. The invention establishes a regenerative braking system (100) integrating energy recovery, overload protection, and driver controlled adaptability. Ten claims define the scope of protection."
