introduction

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 and speed (kinetic energy) as input.

So, this is a small step to try to reduce the current

shortage of electrical energy in our nation.

Possible using different

mechanisms

SPRING COIL MECHANISM(RUNNER)

GEAR- PINION MECHANISM

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.
The material used in construction of speed breakers is steel.
The shape of speed breaker is
trapezoidal .

DESIGN OF THE SPRING

The deflection of the spring is given by
= 64 w *n*N*R^3 /(G^4)

where
-deflection
w=designed load
R= mean diameter of coil
n=no of spring turns
G= Modulus of rigidity
N= No. of springs

Runner
It consists of a circular

disc on the periphery of

which have number of
buckets evenly spaced
are fixed. Each bucket is
divided in to 2
symmetrical parts by a
dividing wall is know as
splitter.

When the air strikes the

runner ,it rotates &
continues rotation due to
inertia.

NOZZLE
The diameter of the inlet
of nozzle must be
greater than outlet.
Here the pressure
energy is converted to
kinetic energy i.e
pressurehigh velocity.
This high velocity
compressd air when hits
the runner,makes it to
rotate.

Mechanism of Different parts

Sprocket mechanism
Transfers rotary motion between
two shafts
Dynamo
It is the dc generator which is
use to generate current
Generates current as per the
Faradays Law

DYNAMO

Mechanism of Different parts

Gear mechanism

The input gear transfers the motion to the output

gear

Working procedure

Here the reciprocating motion of the speed-breaker is converted into rotary

motion using the gear and pinion arrangement.

gear and pinion gears will change linear motion into rotary motion.

The axis of the pinion is coupled with the sprocket arrangement.

The axis of the smaller sprocket is coupled to a gear arrangement.

Finally the gear arrangement is coupled with the generator

Pollution free power

generation.
No obstruction to traffic.

Low Budget electricity

production

SCOPE AND USES

This mechanism is very economical and

easy to install.
Research is going on such prototypes of
speed breakers in India .not practically
implemented till date.
By doing proper arrangements we may
generate high power electricity

Conclusion
The existing source of energy such as coal, oil etc may
not be adequate to meet the ever increasing energy
demands. These conventional sources of energy are
also depleting and may be exhausted.
These are some non-conventional methods of
producing energy. This is a one step to path of
exploring the possibilities of energy from several nonconventional energy sources.
