MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631052062 A) filed by Narula Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on April 23, for 'iot-enabled mechanical regenerative braking simulator for supercapacitor testing and validation.'

Inventor(s) include Adrija Mukhopadhyay; Kuntal Das; Dr. Sumit Chabri; Arghya Gupta; and Akhtarujjaman Sarkar.

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 provides an IoT-enabled mechanical regenerative braking simulator for the comprehensive testing and validation of supercapacitors. The apparatus comprises a mechanical assembly including a motor and a flywheel to simulate vehicle inertia, and an electrical system to convert rotational energy into electrical pulses for storage in a supercapacitor. An integrated IoT framework enables the acquisition and remote monitoring of performance metrics such as voltage, current, and temperature. By replicating the physical dynamics of vehicle deceleration in a controlled laboratory environment, the invention facilitates the accurate characterization of supercapacitor efficiency and durability. The cloud-based interface allows for real-time data visualization and remote operation, bridging the gap between mechanical simulation and digital telemetry for advanced automotive energy storage research."
