Study and Analysis of Power Generation by Speed Breaker

Electricity plays a very important role in our life. Due to population explosion, the current power generation has become insufficient to fulfill our requirements. To overcome this problem we need to implement the techniques of optimal utilization of conventional sources for conservation of energy. We can utilize the energy which is wasted when the vehicles passes over a speed breaker. Lots of energy is generated when vehicle passes over it. We can tap the energy generated and produce power by using the speed breaker as power generating unit. The kinetic energy of the moving vehicles can be converted into mechanical energy of the shaft through rack and pinion mechanism. Then, this mechanical energy will be converted to electrical energy using generator which will be saved with the use of a battery. The energy we save during the day light can be used in the night time for lighting street lights. In coming days, this will prove a great boon to the world, since it will save a lot of electricity of power plants that gets wasted in illuminating the street lights.
