Generation of Electricity From Speed Breaker: Source

This document describes a design for generating electricity from speed breakers. The design uses a chain and sprocket arrangement connected to a generator to capture the kinetic energy of passing vehicles. As vehicles pass over the speed breaker, the friction force is transmitted through the sprockets and gears to increase the rotational speed and power the generator. The generated electricity can then be stored in batteries and used to power streetlights at night, providing an eco-friendly way to capture wasted energy from speed bumps.

GENERATION OF ELECTRICITY FROM SPEED BREAKER

SOURCE:
energy can be tapped and used at a commonly used system, the road speed breakers. A large amount of
energy is wasted at the speed breakers through the dissipation of heat and also through friction. This energy
can be tapped by making the speed-breaker as a power generation unit.

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF DESIGN

WORKING PRINCIPLE

The friction force due to vehicle movement acted upon the speed breaker system is transmitted to chain
sprocket arrangements. The sprocket arrangement is made of two sprockets The axis of the smaller
sprocket is coupled to a gear arrangement the speed that has been increased at the smaller sprocket
wheel is passed on to this gear wheel of larger diameter. The smaller gear is coupled to the larger gear.
Therefore, as the larger gear rotates it increases the speed of the smaller gear and multiplies the speed to
more intensity. Though the speed due to the rotary motion achieved at the larger sprocket wheel is less,
as the power is transmitted to gears, the final speed achieved is high. This speed is sufficient to rotate the
rotor of a generator and is fed into the rotor of a generator. The rotor which rotates within a static
magnetic stator cuts the magnetic flux surrounding it, thus producing the electric motive force (emf). This
generated emf is then sent to an inverter, where the generated emf is regulated. This regulated emf is
now sent to the storage battery where it is stored during the day time and can be used in night time for
providing power to street lights.

Implementation Benefits and Financial Viability

on moving a small vehicle over the roller, the speed varies from 10-15 km/hour, the voltage produced is in the
range of 3-4 volts. With this rate a large amount of energy can be produced.

BENEFITS:Process is eco-friendly efficient method for energy generation cost of the set up is lower in
comparison with other methods. Avoid wastage of energy at the speed breakers through the dissipation of
heat and also through friction, every time a vehicle passes over it

Implementation:.Speed roller can be set up in every speed breaker in a city in main road. The chain drive can
be replaced with a V-belt drive.It reduce the shocks and vibration caused when under heavy load. Also Belt
drives do not require lubrication which would decrease maintenance costs. The material of the rollers can be
made lighter so as to increase the efficiency.
