In our country due to increased paying capacity, advanced lifestyle and rapidly
growing industrialization, the need & demand of transportation is increasing dayby- day. The number of vehicles rolling on the road is increasing daily. Hence
chances of accidents are increasing while crossing the road especially by the
children and old persons. So it became necessary to install the speed breakers (in
true sense speed reducers) at the school building or Hospital building- side road
or highway. If these speed breakers Yes! In true sense it is speed and ultimately
breaker the opposing impact energy supplied by the hard speed breaker will apply
massive thrust impact on the suspension system of the vehicle. This impact force
can be use for power generation using regenerative method and use to charge
battery and release load of alternator or dynamo from engine.
Here on working this group task we over-come our following needs:We became able to have market survey
Doped capability of designing a system by collecting necessary data.
Learnt actual practical fabrication processes of the sub-components of the
system.
Planning the cost estimation and budget.
Duties of a technician or an Engineer.
SELECTION OF PROJECT
We the group of young engineers found that, there is an impending need to make
much more forays to make Non Conventional energy attain popular acclaim. This
is also very essential to preserve the conventional sources of energy and explore
viable alternatives like sustainable energy (the energy which we are already
utilizing but for some safety of other uses we are suddenly wasting it, that can be
reutilized), solar, wind and biomass that can enhance sustainable growth. What is
more, such alternatives are environment friendly and easily replenish
able. Therefore, they need to be thoroughly exploited with a functionally
expedient, energy matrix mix.
Growing economies, especially of Asia are gifted with sufficient resource base and
non-conventional energy technologies are consistent both for grid linked energy
generation and transmission in out of the way locales that are islanded from the
grid. Adaptation of technology and employing them should be pursued right from
this moment to have a head start, be informed of the barriers in technology
applications of the renewable variety and synergizing them with the existing,
traditional power production technology and T&D networks. It is known that in
coming times, wind energy will be the most cost-effective renewable resource.
Yet, it is doubtful if any individual technology would hold centre-stage.
Thus we selected kinetic generator means the Energy in motion when it is
suddenly applied with a sort of obstacle, then according to Newtons law for
every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Utilization of this reaction
is the basic reason behind the selection of this project work.

A "generator" and "motor" is essentially the same thing: what you call it depends
on whether electricity is going into the unit or coming out of it. A generator
produces electricity. In a generator, something causes the shaft and armature to
spin. An electric current is generated, as shown in the picture (lightning bolt).Lots
of things can be used to make a shaft spin - a pinwheel, a crank, a bicycle, a water
wheel, a diesel engine, or even a jet engine. They're of different sizes but it's the
same general idea. It doesn't matter what's used to spin the shaft - the electricity
that's produced is the same.
METHODOLOGY
on the prime mover or the delivered power from the prime mover. In is the
forgoing discussion, it is observed that turning moment diagrams for the cycle
show period during which torque is in excess of the mean torque responsible for
the constant power output and also periods during which the torque is less than
the mean torque. Thus the speed of the flywheel would increase during period of
excess of torque during the cycle and the speed will fall during the period of the
deficit torque during the cycle. Thus a flywheel stores energy and releases energy
during the cycle without affecting mean energy output. Thus a properly designed
flywheel has to ensure the cyclic fluctuations of speed within prescribed limits
preferably as small as possible.
Definition of the flywheel:A flywheel used in machine serves as a reservoir which stores energy during the
period when the supply of energy is more than the requirement and releases it
during the period when the requirement of energy is more than the supply.
Working of the flywheel:The excess energy is developed during power stroke is absorbed by flywheel and
releases it to the crankshaft during the other stroke in which no energy is
developed, thus rotating the crankshaft at a uniform speed. A little consideration
will show that when the flywheel absorbs energy, its speed increases and when it
releases energy, the speed decreases. Hence a flywheel does not maintain a
constant speed; it simply reduces the fluctuation of speed. In other words, a
flywheel controls the speed variations caused by the fluctuation of the engine
turning moment during each cycle of operation.
Application:Flywheel are mostly used in machine where the operation is intermitted like
punching machines, shearing machines, riveting machines, crushers etc, the
flywheel stores energy from the power source during the greater portion of the
operating cycle and gives it up during a small period of the cycle. Thus the energy
from power source to the machines is supplied practically at a constant rate
throughout the operation.
