Introduction
A large amount of potential energy is
wasted in speed breaker through friction,
every time when vehicle passes over it.
So electricity can be generate using
vehicle weight (potential energy) as an
input.
So this small step to improve
this situation.

Continued..
In this model we are showing how
generate a voltage from heavy running
traffic.

Concept of conversion of mechanical

energy into electrical energy is used in this
project.

Available Methods
Rack-Pinion Mechanism

Crank-Shaft Mechanism

Roller Mechanism

Problem with Crank-Shaft Mechanism

Crank-shafts are required to be mounted on

bearings which may cause balancing problem
leading to mechanical vibration in turn damage
the bearings.
The bearings are of sliding type hence any
occurrence of variable load (which is obvious of
vehicles) leads to balancing problem.

Problem with Roller Mechanism

Roller Mechanism has some different types
of disadvantages.
Maintenance will be very difficult.
It might caused collision problem.

Working Of Rack-Pinion Mechanism

The Rack and Pinion convert between rotary

and linear motion. Rack and pinion can
convert from rotary to linear and also from
linear to rotary.
The diameter of the gear determines the
speed that rack moves as the pinion
turns.
Rack and pinion are commonly used in
steering systems of cars to convert the rotary
motion of the steering wheel to the side to
side motion in the whiles.

 Here the reciprocating motion of the speed-breaker

is converted into rotary motion using the rack and
pinion arrangement.
The axis of pinion is coupled with the sprocket
arrangement.
The axis of smaller sprocket is coupled to gear
arrangement.
Finally the gear arrangement is coupled with the
generator.

Use Of Renewable Power Source

Check mechanism time to time.

It can rusted in rainy season.

Not work with light weight vehicle.

Generated power is less.

This project is already implemented in

the South Africa for reducing the energy
crisis.
This method is also used to light up the
small villages on the highway.
In India it is used in Guwahati the capital
city of the Assam.

Low budget electricity production.

No obstruction to traffic.
Less floor area.
Easy maintenance.
Suitable at parking
