ELECTRICITY GENERATION FROM SPEED BREAKER

[attachment=17610]

Introduction:

Is anyone happy with current situation of electricity in India???

So, this is our small step to try to improve this situation by our project.

First of all what does electricity mean to us???

Electricity- secondary source of energy i.e. converted from other sources.

We need it for every small thing, still notice it’s importance only during load shedding.

BASIC PRINCIPLE:

Simple energy conversion from Mechanical to Electrical.
To generate electricity using the vehicle weight (potential energy) as input

Possible using 3 different mechanisms:

Crank-shaft mechanism

Why Rack- Pinion mechanism??
Crank-shafts are required to be mounted on bearings which creates balancing problem leading to mechanical vibrations which in turn damage the bearings.

Secondly as bearings are of sliding type, any occurrence of variable load( which is bit obvious in case of vehicles!!) leads to balancing problem.


Roller mechanism

Rack- Pinion mechanism
