MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641051713 A) filed by Mohan Babu University, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, on April 23, for 'hybrid energy cooking engine (hece) and a method thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. K. Lakshmi Kala; and Mr. Penchala Avinash.
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 a Hybrid Energy Cooking Engine (HECE) and a method of using the same. The system (100) comprises an energy input unit (110) configured to generate electrical energy using a foldable solar panel and a hand-crank generator, and a power management unit (120) configured to regulate and distribute the generated energy. The system further includes a battery storage unit (130) adapted to store electrical energy and supply it to an electrolysis unit (140), which produces hydrogen gas using safe electrolytes. A hydrogen buffer tank and controlled flow system (150) directs the generated hydrogen gas to a burner unit (160), where the gas is ignited to produce a stable flame for cooking applications. The system also incorporates safety mechanisms (170) for regulating gas flow, pressure, leak detection, and automatic shut-off to ensure secure and efficient operation. Internal wiring and control connections (180) interconnect all system components, and an output indication system (190) provides visual confirmation of system operation. All components are integrated within a compact and portable housing, with modular attachments enabling flexible usage. The method includes generating electrical energy (110), regulating and storing energy (120, 130), supplying energy to the electrolysis unit (140), directing hydrogen through a controlled flow system (150), igniting the gas at the burner (160), and utilizing safety mechanisms (170) for safe operation. The invention provides a clean, efficient, and fuel-independent cooking solution suitable for indoor, outdoor, and travel environments."
