Abstract
almost 20 percent during the last decade. There's tremendous vehicular growth year by year. Manufacturers of cutting-edge gadgets that can redirect the energy of moving vehicles that is squandered on speed breakers to productive work are motivated by the growing traffic and number of speed breakers on the highways. In this Practical manufacturing processes and steps of a speed breaker device for the generation of compressed air are described, which can be used to generate compressed air on the road near toll plazas in cities. The reciprocating air compressor is used for pressurized air generation, taking advantage of design simplicity. These are the most common kinds of compressors found in various applications. This paper supported the principle of the reciprocating air compressor, in which the compressor compresses the air by reducing the volume of air that has been isolated. We put our machine underground, exactly below the speed breaker. The highest piston rod is brought up to the level of the horizontal surface. When vehicles advance, the rack will be pushed down. The piston is reciprocating within the cylinder. The piston and cylinder arrangement convert reciprocating motion to air compression. The second part is specially planned to style and fabricate the conversion unit to utilize the available unconventional energy source. That's because tremendously available energy in low intensity with ample quantity is often utilized. Then this compressed air then goes to the DC Hydro Generator, which converts the high-pressure air into electricity. And this generated electricity is used in various applications in toll plazas in cities.
On roads, speed breakers are provided to regulate the speed of traffic in cities near toll plazas. The potential energy that is lost when a vehicle's weight hits a speed breaker can be put to good use. This paper describes the P.E. of such a type of energy available on roads and its utilization for electricity in toll plazas for performing various tasks. The stages of development of a speed breaker device are described, as is that the mechanism to generate electricity using a DC Hydro Generator and store compressed air with the help of a piston cylinder compressor arrangement. Whenever the vehicle is allowed to skip the speed breaker dome, it gets pressed downwards. because the springs are attached to the dome. With the assistance of the piston cylinder arrangement, the rack is attached to the connecting rod of the cylinder, therefore the downward stroke of the rack can be used for air compression in the reservoir with the help of the piston cylinder arrangement. Simultaneously, a reciprocating piston cylinder arrangement compresses the air and stores it within the reservoir. After that, the compressed air goes to the DC Hydro Generator, which converts the high air into electricity. And now, this generated electricity is employed for various purposes in the toll plaza. Key Words: Speed Breaker, Piston, Motor, Generator, Pressure, Compressor.
1. INTRODUCTION In the recent decades, electrical energy has become a necessity for all human beings. The amount of electricity needed is growing daily. However, the resources available for electricity generation are scarce, and this is what has led to the current energy crisis. The rising demand for electricity leads to a decrease in the use of conventional resources for power generation and an increase in the emissions of pollutants. Consideration of renewable or non-conventional energy sources that are eco-friendly to the environment is urgently needed. Renewable energy technologies are commonly employed to generate electricity in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Electricity is regularly produced using solar and wind energy.
1.1 System Block Diagram The diagram of electricity generation and air compression by using a speed breaker is shown in the figure.1.1. the primary part is air compression by using a speed breaker, which is shown within the figure and the second part is electricity generation. It indicates electricity generation and air compression occur when a vehicle passes over a speed breaker. With the assistance of the Block Diagram, one can easily understand the mechanism behind the identical.
On the road, vehicles waste a fantastic amount of energy on speed breakers, where there's a necessity to provide speed breakers to manage the speed of the vehicles near Toll Plaza. The annual rate of growth of automobiles in India has been
