Project Summary

This project is about Design and Development of a mechanism that can be installed under speed breakers to convert wasted kinetic energy of vehicles into electricity which is a greener approach of power generation. Prototype and testing of the mechanism is main objective .Two moving racks will be attached with breaker installed under the road in opposite in direction. Pawl and rachet mechanism linear motion of rack will convert liear motion into rotation by using shaft and that rotattion will drive the generator and electricity is produced

Project Objectives

• Design And Development of a mechanism that can be installed under speed brakers to convert kinetic energy of vehicles into electricity.
• A greener and economical approach to generate electricity
• Modeling and analysis of components used in mechanism
• Prototyping and testing of mechanism

Project Implementation Method

The mechanism is installed under the ground and a small speed breaker will be made on which vehicles is passes .When the load is applied on the breaker, the breaker  move downaward and rack start moving  downward when the rack is moving downward it will rotate ratchet and the shaft is connected with ratchet .Two rack and ratchet is connected with shaft to move the shaft in one direction when the shaft is moving forward first rack and rachet start working and generate electricity while if shaft rotate in anti clockwise direction the polarity is change and there is no generation of electricity,To avoid this problem we use two rack and rachet one rackand ratchet is working in clockwise direction when the breaker is moving downward and self locked the other one and when the breaker came to its original postion the first rack and rachet locks itself and second one is start rotating and the shaft is rotating in clockwise direction.The shaft is then connected with flywheel to store the energy and flywheel shaft is connected with generator and when the coils of the generator is rotated, electricity will be produced and it can be used anywhere in street lights Toll plaza etc.

Benefits of the Project

• Power Generation by using a technology which will be envionmental friendly
• An economical design of mechansim to reduce the expenses of power
• Generation of power by minimizing the usuage of natural resources like coal,oil etc
• The main benefit of this project to reduce the global warming because no burning fuel is used
• Used in Booths on Toll plazas
• Street lights 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The technical details is the design and develoment of a mechanism to generate electricity from speed breakers we are facing the problm that polarity of charges is reversed when the shaft is moving anticlowise direction so we solve the problm by using two racks and rachet and the main components is used in this project isspring ,gears ,shaft,generator and to store the torque we used flywheel all these are designs with diffrent methods we use pawl and rachet instead of spur ,bevel or helical gears,the teeth is made on rack is resemble with pawl mechanism When the load is applied on the breaker the breaker move downaward and rack  start moving  downward when the rack is moving downward it will rotate ratchet and the shaft is connected with ratchet .Two rack and ratchet is connected with shaft to move the shaft in one direction when the shaft is moving forward first rack and rachet start working and generate electricity while if shaft rotate in anti clockwise direction the polarity is change and there is no generation of electricity,To avoid this problem we use two rack and rachet one rackand ratchet is working in clockwise direction when the breaker is moving downward and self locked the other one and when the breaker came to its original postion the first rack and rachet locks itself and second one is start rotating and the shaft is rotating in clockwise direction.After this process shaft is connected with flywheel to store the torque and flywheel shaft is connected with generator and when the coils of the generator is rotated electricity is produced and it can be used anywhere in street lights Toll plazas etc.
