MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621032696 A) filed by Sanjivani Bharat Adsul; Prathamesh Jalge; Sakshi Joshi; Jatin Kadam; and Sahil Kadam, Pune, Maharashtra, on March 18, for 'piezoelectric footstep energy harvesting system with microcontroller-controlled conveyor belt actuation.'
Inventor(s) include Sanjivani Bharat Adsul; Prathamesh Jalge; Sakshi Joshi; Jatin Kadam; and Sahil Kadam.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a footstep energy harvesting system that converts mechanical pressure generated by human footsteps into electrical energy using piezoelectric sensors. The generated electrical signal is rectified and stored in a rechargeable battery. A microcontroller monitors the generated voltage and activates a DC motor connected to a conveyor belt through a MOSFET switching circuit when sufficient energy is available. The system also includes a software dashboard for real-time monitoring of voltage generation and system status. The invention provides an eco-friendly and cost-effective method for harvesting human kinetic energy in high-footfall areas."
