Dr. Komsuoglu has received US patent US 8,564,144B1 titled “Light-Weight Human Generated Electricity” for the contributions in the project with the Lightning Packs LLC. This patent describes a mechanism and a method for producing electric energy from the naturally occurring motion of the human body in motion. An application of this technology is LP’s Load Carrying System (LCS)—a backpack that reduces the physical impact of heavy loads and produce electric energy up to 50W.
