Energy from the busy

road

In this project we show that how we generate a valuable voltage with the help of
moving traffic on the road. In this project we use conversion of mechanical energy
into electrical energy. For this purpose we install one mechanical dynamo on the
road. With the help of this dynamo we convert the mechanical energy into
electrical energy. We use dc dynamo, so output from the dynamo is connected to
the dc battery. When battery is fully charged then we use battery for our project.
We install one photoelectric effect in the project. Street light is to be switch on
automatically in the night and lights are automatically off in the day night.
In this project we switch on the street light in night in half mode. Half mode means
all the lights are to be on in 50 percent on/off mode. Rest of lights are to be on if
the traffic is on the road. If the road is with traffic then all the lights are on. If the
road is without traffic then 50 percent lights are again off.
For road sensing, we use two pair of infra red sensor on the road. When any car
cross the road then infra red beam is interrupted and signal is connected to the
controller. Controller sense the signal and increment the counter. Counter display
the total number of vehicle on road. When counter shows a 0 number then road
lights are off to 50 percent.

LDR FOR AUTOMATIC STREET LIGHT


NPN BC 548 FOR LDR SWITCHING

GENERAL PURPOSE PCB

12 VOLT DYANMO
6 VOLT CHARGEBALE BATTERY
CHANGOVER SWITCH

L.E.D ( 6 ) FOR STREET LIGHT

MAIN THEME OF THIS PROJECT


NON CONVENTIONAL ENERGY GENERATION
CONCEPT:
MECHANICAL TO ELECTRICAL ENERGY
LOGIC: USE DYANMO AS A SPEED BRAKER , One rod with the
dynamo is placed like a speed braker. Dyanmo is so powerful. Movement of
vehicle just rotate the dynamo shaft and electricity is generated. This voltage is to
be stored in the chargeable battery.

In the night lights are automatic on with the help of photovoltaic switch logic.

But all lights are not on, only half light are on. Other half lights switch on
automatically when any vehicle move on the bridge, when there is no vehicle on
the bridge then lights are off automatically.

We use two infra red sensors to check the movement of vehicle. When first infra
red sensor is on then lights are on and when second sensor is interrupt then lights
are off.
