MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641018040 A) filed by Easwari Engineering College; and Srm Institute Of Science And Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 17, for 'pedaling mechanism with copper coils and permanent magnets for an electricity generation system.'

Inventor(s) include S D Tamil Selvan; Rakesh S P; Pradeep Kumar T; and Keerthipalli Trinath.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The current invention pertains to a pedal-powered electricity generation system that transforms human mechanical energy into electrical energy using the hypothesis of electromagnetic induction. The system has a pedaling mechanism that is linked to a rotating wheel with permanent magnets on it that have opposite polarity. There is also at least one stationary copper coil next to the magnetic path. When the wheel turns, the magnetic flux across the coils changes from time to time, creating an electromotive force (EMF) without any outside power supply. A bridge rectifier changes the alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC), which is then stored in a rechargeable battery or sent directly to low-power electronic devices. The technology employs neodymium magnets that are very strong, copper coils that can turn more than once, and an air gap that has been adjusted to make the output more efficient at low pedaling speeds. The invention is a cheap, small, portable, and eco-friendly way to get renewable energy that may be used to power homes, in emergencies, in rural areas, and for fitness-based energy gathering."
