A STUDY ON DESIGN OF POWER GENERATION FROM SPEED BREAKER

Innovations and their applications stand at the root of developments for any nation. With increasing population and depleting reserves of natural resources, it is getting more difficult to satisfy the public needs. The shortage of various resources has caused a rise in prices. Many renewable sources of energy are available in abundance like solar, wind, tidal, etc. Generation of energy using such resources that are present in ample amounts is a new highway towards a better tomorrow. The force exerted by vehicles on the speed breakers is one such source that can help in generating energy in lower budget. Design and Fabrication of Power Generation from Speed Breaker is one such practice towards the usage of renewable sources of energy to generate power. Using rack and pinion mechanism helps converting force by vehicles into power and this in turn helps the nations from facing scarcity of resources. Piezoelectric cells also play a vital role in absorbing the force on speed breakers. The design and analysis done on Autodesk Inventor has shown us, the virtual representation of the system we are so eager to put forth.
