Abstract - In the current scenario demand of power is
When moving, the vehicles possess some kinetic energy. This kinetic energy can be utilized to produce power by using a special arrangement called POWER HUMP. It is an ElectroMechanical unit. It utilizes both mechanical technologies and electrical techniques for the power generation and its storage. POWER HUMP is a dome like device likely to be speed breaker. Whenever the vehicle is allowed to pass over the dome it gets pressed down-wards then the springs are attached to the dome is compressed and the rack which is attached to the bottom of the dome moves downward in reciprocating motion. Since the rack has teeth connected to gears, there exists conversion of reciprocating motion of rack into rotary motion of gears but the two gears rotate in opposite direction. A flywheel is mounted on the shaft whose function is to regulate the fluctuation in energy to make the energy uniform. So that the shaft will rotates with certain R.P.M these shafts are connected through a belt drive to the dynamos, which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. The conversion will be proportional to traffic density. Whenever the armature rotates between the magnetic field south and north poles, an EMF is induced in it. So, for inducing th EMF armature coil has to rotates, for rotating this armature it is connected to along shaft. By rotating same EMF is induced, for this rotation kinetic energy of moving vehicles is utilized. All the mechanism can be housed under the dome. Like speed breaker which is called HUMP. The electricity output can be improved by arranging these power humps in series. This generated power can be amplified and stored by using different electrical devices. A. Possible using different mechanisms:1. Spring coil mechanism 2. Rack-pinion mechanism 3. Crank-shaft mechanism 4. Roller mechanism
increasing day by day with increasing population. on the other hand, energy crisis is also a main issue of today’s life and all there is a shortage of convectional energy resources due to its large usage, so we have to sort out this problem with technique which will not only overcome this energy crisis but also should be eco-friendly. Mainly convectional resources are creating pollution so that’s why focus is towards eco-friendly solutions. This project emphasizes on idea which shows that power could be generated by specially designed humps. A large of kinetic energy is being wasted on road on daily basis in different forms which could be used to generate power and this power can be stored in batteries. This project shows clearly how we can generate power by using rack and pinion mechanism. Where basically linear motion is converted into rotary motion and then can be used to generate electricity. Large amount of electricity can be generated by using this method and this method is eco- friendly. Key Words: energy crisis, kinetic energy, power production, speed humps.
1. INTRODUCTION We know that the kinetic energy can be converted to electrical energy. We are presenting in this paper that kinetic energy produced by movement of vehicles on speed breaker of road, convert in electrical energy i.e., can produce power. Here in this paper we are looking forward to conserve the kinetic energy that gone wasted, while vehicles move. The number of vehicles passing over speed breaker on road is increasing day by day. Beneath speed breaker, setting up an electro-mechanical unit known to be power hump, could help us conserving this energy and use it for power generation. The electrical output can be improved by arranging these power humps in series. This generated power can be stored, by using different electrical devices. We can supply this energy to street lights, traffic lights and nearby areas and thus helps in country economy by also having solar panels that can provide power when needed while the vehicles were not
3. WORKING PROCEDURE Speed breaker POWER GENERATOR converts basically new concept of non-conventional energy generation. It is electro mechanical energy generating machine. This machine converts reciprocating motion into rotary motion. The rotational power is stored in flywheel rotates dynamo which generates power electricity
