Generation of Electricity Through Rack and Pinion

Abstract

— In this paper we illustrate generation of electricity through speed breakers. Here we used a technique of harvesting energy by three mechanisms-Rack and pinion mechanism, Crank and shaft mechanism, Roller mechanism. In this paper we have used roller mechanism. This technique is beneficial to those areas where generation of electricity is a difficult task. When a vehicle moves over the speed breakers its kinetic energy which is due its speed, friction between road and its wheels, heat developed during motion and energy of wind striking is given to roller attached beneath it. Then the roller passes the energy to spring and spring passes it to dynamo which converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. This electrical energy is in the form of DC and we used inverter which converts DC into AC. Large amount of electricity can be generated saving lot of money and if implemented will be very beneficial for Government.
