Energy generation from Speed breaker by Rack and Ratchet Mechanism

Mechanical Engg.

This paper introduces useful concept of the present day scenario, Energy is a major need for human life. There is a need to develop non- conventional sources for Energy generation due to the reason that our conventional sources of Energy are getting scarcer by the day. Energy is the primary need for survival of all organisms in the universe. This paper includes how to utilize the energy which is wasted when the vehicles passes over a speed breaker. Lots of energy is generated when vehicle passes over it. 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 of the shaft through rack and pinion mechanism. Then, this mechanical energy will be converted to electrical energy using generator which will be saved with the use of a battery. The energy we save during the day light can be used in the night time for lighting street lights. Therefore, by using this arrangement we can save lot of energy which can be used for the fulfilment of future demands.
