Mechanical engineers are responsible for the design and manufacturing of many

industrial systems or anything with moving parts. Enabling the development of long-
term solution to meet the countrys rapidly growing energy needs, using alternative
energy The Philippines are currently relies heavily on coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear
for its energy. Fossil fuels are non-renewable, that is, they draw on limited resources
that will eventually decrease A good solution to the high price for electricity, power
outages in the Philippines would be to look at renewable energy sources. Renewable
energy technologies are clean sources of energy that have a much lower
environmental impact than conventional energy technologies. A road ramp is basically
an elevated surface placed across the road, areas where human-traffic interaction is
relatively high to generate electricity. The ramp is made up of a gear mechanism that
rotate by using the pressure exerted by vehicles passing over it, which in turn drives a
generator to produce electricity. This would lower the amount of money to pay
electricity powering our houses and streets.
The general objectives of the study are first, to generate alternative
renewable energy resources by producing electricity by using the weight of
the vehicles that will pass through. Second is to store electrical energy that
will help ease and resolve the shortage in electricity. Lastly, is to create a
cheaper source of energy to produce electricity. The specific objectives of
the study are first, to create renewable electricity that will help the less
fortunate community. Second, is to decries the energy bill of different local
community, barangay, and local provinces. And lastly, to produce electricity
to the different province that has no electricity in order to help them in their
daily basis and needs.
 This study concentrated on the development of Road Ramp Power Generation using
locally accessible materials, taking into consideration the design dimensions, its material
specification, system components and design to meet the increasing demand for
electricity and limited supply of fuel to produce an alternative renewable energy
resources.
The fabricated machine had undergone preliminary testing to check if the road ramp
power generation performed in accordance with the instructed procedure. This study was
limited to the overall efficiency of the machine. This study also included the economic
analysis of the project. However, this study was focused in generating electricity using
road ramp, and did not cover the process further than generation of electricity such as
using speed breakers or car bumps.
 The significance of the study focused on the Design and Development of Road
Power Generation Ramp from Road Kinetic Energy and the product of this study will
give advantage and benefit to the different concerned groups in the succeeding
aspects:
To the people that can able to obtain electricity such as light from the energy
that is being wasted in the roads generating power by making the ramp as a power
generation unit. It was designed to create a renewable energy resource which is eco-
friendly as it does not consume any fuel or release any by product.

To the students, this would be a prodigious opportunity for them to wholly

comprehend the essence of analyzing the all the ways in which energy is being wasted
and the proper utilization of energy and proper conservation of it through renewable
energy resources.

This part provides the outline of the steps
which will be implemented in order to
achieve the objectives of the study. In
conceptualizing the design project, the
related concepts, literature, and past studies
were considered from the previous chapter.
The design was focused to address
conveniency of the machine on the vehicles
that will pass through the machine. The
whole procedure of the development of
Road Power Generating Machine was divided
into three stages: development stage,
preliminary testing, and final testing.
