 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT

A large amount of energy is wasted at the speed breakers

through friction , every time a vehicle passes over it.

So electricity can be generated using the vehicle weight

(potential energy) as input.

So, this is a small step to try to improve this situation

 WORKING PROCEDURE

Here the reciprocating motion of the speed-

breaker is converted into electrical energy.
Rack and pinion gears normally change rotary
motion into linear motion, but sometimes we
use them to change linear motion into rotary
motion.
Then the generator connected to the rack and
pinion is actuated then it converts reciprocating
motion into electrical energy
 CONSTRUCTION OF THE SPEED
BREAKER
Here we are making the speed breaker of vibrating
type, when a vehicle crosses the speed breaker, it gets
pressed and then it gets back to its original position.
Dimensions of speed breaker:-
Height : 0.2m
Width : 0.4m
Length : 4m
 DESIGN OF THE SPRING

The actual height of spring is 0.3m before loading.

where
-deflection (in our case maximum =0.1m)
w=designed load
R= mean diameter of coil
d =diameter of wire
n=no of spring turns
G= Modulus of rigidity = 8*10^4 N/mm2
N= No. of springs
The no of turns in the spring to get the deflection of 0.1m is given by
n= Gd^4/(64 w*N*R^3)

 SCOPE OF PROJECT

The utilization of energy is an indication of the growth of a

nation. For example, the per capita energy consumption in
USA is 9000 KWh (Kilo Watt hour) per year, whereas the
consumption in India is 1200 KWh (Kilo Watt hour). One
might conclude that to be materially rich and prosperous, a
human being needs to consume more and more energy.

A recent survey on the energy consumption in India had

published a pathetic report that 85,000 villages in India do not
still have electricity.
