MUMBAI, India, June 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641069044 A) filed by Mahendra Engineering College Autonomous on June 02, 2026, for Design And Fabrication Of Stepper Generator With Storage System.
Inventors include Dr. D. Subramaniam; Dr. R. Prabu; Mr. P. Dinesh Kumar; Mr. S. Dhanush; Mr. S. Jeevanantham; Mr. B. Sudharsan; and Mr. G. Thandavarajan.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: This invention focuses on the design and fabrication of a stepper generator integrated with an energy storage system to harness mechanical energy from human movement, such as footsteps, and convert it into electrical energy. The system utilizes a stepper motor as a generator, where rotational motion produced by applied force is converted into electrical output. The generated energy is then conditioned using rectification and voltage regulation circuits before being stored in rechargeable batteries or super capacitors for later use. The objective is to develop a compact, cost-effective, and eco-friendly solution for small-scale power generation in areas with frequent human activity, such as walkways, staircases, and public spaces. This approach not only promotes the use of renewable energy but also contributes to energy conservation by utilizing otherwise wasted mechanical energy.
