A large amount of energy is wasted by the vehicles on the speed breakers through
friction, every time it passes over it. Energy can be produced by using the vehicle
weight and speed. So here we propose a smart speed breaker that generates power.
The reciprocating motion of the speed breaker is converted into rotary motion using
the rack and pinion arrangement. We design a smart speed breaker that can pass
vehicles coming from both sides and yet generate energy from it. The system makes
use of mechanical assembly with metal sheets with linkages that press down with
spring arrangement. The system makes use of the speed breaker press and then uses a
rack and pinion arrangement to press down and run generator motor thus generating
energy. The spring mechanism is the used to drive the speed breaker back into
original position. It converts rotary motion into linear motion, but sometimes we
use them to change linear motion into rotary motion. This mechanism is very
economical and easy to install. By doing proper arrangements we may generate high
power electricity from road traffic.Power is everything in this recent world, from
the beginning of the science still people try to discover the source, modify and
develop many concepts and method for better future. The efficiency of power
generation is the key to making a country economically enriched. This project
includes how to utilize the energy which is wasted from the vehicle which is passes
every minute over a speed breaker. There are four mechanisms to generate
electricity through the speed breaker like, Rack and pinion mechanisms, gear and
flywheel mechanisms and spring coil mechanisms. 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 through the
rack and pinion mechanisms or some other mechanisms. Then, this mechanical energy
will be converted into electrical energy using generator which will be saved with
the use of a battery
