New Energy Bolsters Patent Portfolio for Technologies Capable of Generating Electricity from the Motion of Vehicles

New Energy Technologies, Inc., developer of MotionPower technologies for generating sustainable electricity from the kinetic energy of moving vehicles and SolarWindow technologies capable of generating electricity on see-thru glass windows, announced that additional patent protection for its MotionPower technologies has been filed, building the Company’s portfolio to 12 new patent filings in the U.S. and internationally.

New Energy’s MotionPower technologies are made possible by way of numerous novel patent-pending inventions. These applications are directed to a vehicle energy harvester technology which converts the energy of a moving vehicle into useful power, and further, makes use of vehicle mass, velocity, and acceleration to ultimately produce a set of usable forces in a vehicle energy harvester, such as MotionPower.

In addition to applications in the U.S., the company’s patent attorneys have filed international patent applications under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), for its MotionPower kinetic energy harvesting technology. The PCT application is an important step in obtaining protection for New Energy’s MotionPower technology in as many as 142 nations.

“Our engineering teams have discovered numerous inventions while advancing our technologies from breakthrough engineering to working prototypes,” explained Meetesh V. Patel, president and CEO of New Energy Technologies, Inc. “As we develop an increasingly comprehensive patent portfolio to protect these latest inventions, engineers can more confidently progress our novel MotionPower technologies through the next steps, from technical optimization and advanced engineering towards commercialization.”

Once fully optimized and commercially installed, engineers anticipate MotionPower technologies may be used to augment or replace conventional electrical supplies for powering roadway signs, street and building lights, storage systems for back-up and emergency power, and other electronics, appliances, and even devices used in homes and businesses.
