Electric Power Generation through Speed Breakers

Abstract: Power is everything in this recent world, from the beginning of the science still people try to discover the source, modify and develop many concepts and method for better future. The efficiency of power generation is the key to making a country economically enriched. This project includes how to utilize the energy which is wasted from the vehicle which is passes every minute over a speed breaker. There are four mechanisms to generate electricity through the speed breaker like, Rack and pinion mechanisms, gear and flywheel mechanisms and spring coil mechanisms. We can tap the energy generated and produce power by using the speed breaker as power generating unit. The kinetic energy of the moving vehicles can be converted into mechanical energy through the rack and pinion mechanisms or some other mechanisms. Then, this mechanical energy will be converted into electrical energy using generator which will be saved with the use of a battery.
