Abstract
As olden days the people is saying that their primary
requirement is food, shelter and clothes. Now one more
important thing come that is energy. Electrical energy more
superior than any other form of available energy. The main
advantage is that it can be stored in a battery for future use.
Our aim here to discuss the waste kinetic energy of any vehicle
to transform them in useful electrical energy. Speed breaker
power generation it can be used for lighting on rural villages,
highway street light etc. Other sources like solar energy,
wind energy and wave energy is have some limitation
.solar panel is not effective in nighttime, in winter season
and during rain. our wind energy plant installed on the
away from the populated area it can produce the electrical
energy when the sufficient amount of air will abatable
.wave energy is has its own limitation its can be produced
only in seaside. Speed breaker power generation method
produced no pollution, and it is not having any such type
of limitation.
KEYWORDS: power generation, lead acid battery, kinetic
energy and speed breaker
I. INTRODUCTION
Our conventional sources of power generation is producing
pollution in terms of air pollution, water pollution etc.[1] The
major contributor of air pollution is carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide, sulphor dioxide etc. These pollutants affect our
environment adversely. Due to pollution and lack of avidity the
scientist suggested the renewable energies like wind energy,
solar energy, wave energy and biomass. Researchers are
working for improvement in our available renewable energy
conversion method. Here our aim to transform the energy that
wasted in speed breaker in almost all the process and system
each one has some type of losses. For example a car passes
over the speed breaker its most of the energy is wasted.
However, due to safety and security reason of populated areas
like near to school, hospital, shopping mall etc. cities and town
there are a more no of breaker ,and so many vehicle passing
over the speed breakers are required, it means that we can
tapped more energy and produced more electricity so
electricity conversion is proportional to traffic density[3]
.electricity is clean energy and now days more useful than
other form of available energy .Now days battery operated
bike, car and aircraft also available .for cooking food, washing
clothes, fan, T.V., Fridge, for lighting purpose everywhere we
required electricity .without electricity it’s very difficult to
manage our life style. Due to increments of our population and
depends of technology is increases the more amount of
electrical energy but resources are limited.
Therefore, we need to see towards that energy is waste in the
form of heat on the speed breaker.
History
Due to crises in electrical energy, the people led a new idea for
generation of electricity in South Africa. In south Africa
electrical energy crises was in a peak there is huge amount of
electrical energy is required and this crises made them to
implement a new idea, and using this idea use to light up small
villages near to highway, street light. The basic physics is
behind this method of electricity generation is nothing but just
conversion of vehicle kinetic energy in to electrical energy.
This idea comes in India first in Assam,
The inventor name is Kanak Gogoi who lives in Guwahti. He
develop the similar method to produce the electricity using
kinetic energy is wasted over the speed breaker. this idea is
caught the eye of IIT Kuwaiti, then IIT funded one pilot
project based on similar concept to generate the electricity
from speed breaker .the evaluated and analysis the machine in
more detailed and recommended to the Assam electricity
board on large scale ,and it helps to provide the electrical
energy .
SCOPE OF UTILIZATION IN INDIA
The available and utilization of energy is an indication of
the growth of a nation. As compare to developed country
developing country, consume less energy. In developed
country there is much more facility is there as compare to
developing and under developing country. For example, the
per captain energy consumption in USA is 9000KWH (Kilo
Watt Hour) per year, whereas in India is very less just only
1200KWH (Kilo Watt Hour).from this comparatively data you
might conclude that in developed country people consume
more energy
A recent survey base on energy consumption in India had
published i n particular report that 85,000 villages in India
do not still have electricity. Supply of electricity in most part
of our country is poor. In very few states, having sufficient
amount of power .electricity is a major problem in India.
Hence, more innovative idea is required in this area to
fulfill our power requirement.
In India the condition of road is very poor in villages and
also not much better in cities also as compare to the other
developed country .there is so many number of speed breaker
on the road. Therefore, it is easy to make the power
generation unit using speed breaker, and using this power, we
can fulfill our requirement.

Effect of economy
In speed breaker method of generating electricity does not
require any consumable matter once its installed it will work
for a many years .speed breaker method of generating
electricity is required energy is already is going to waste in
speed breaker .this method is just utilization of that waste
energy. In every year in 9our country s
III. WORKING PRINCIPLE
Whenever a vehicle is passes over the dome then dome gets
displaced in downward direction due to displacement of dome,
the spring that’s attached with dome gets compressed and rack
which I also connected with dome at the bottom it’s also
displaced in downward direction and the rack teeth is
connected to gears, due to meshing of rack and gear
reciprocating motion of rack converted in to rotary motion of
gears. A flywheel is also mounting on the shaft whose main
function is to store the energy and
Supply when required to make the energy uniform and shaft
must rotate at certain. These shafts are connecting through a
belt drive with dynamos, which function is to converts the
mechanical energy into electrical energy. The rate of
conversion will be proportional to the traffic density of the
vehicle. [1] Due to rotation of shaft dynamos will also rotates.
Inside the dynamos in between two permanents, magnet
armature rotates. The rotating armature cuts the magnetic flux
generated between the permanent magnet. Due to cutting of
magnetic field, an E.M.F (electro motive force) is induced in it.
In addition, this electric energy we used for our requirement.
For continuous supply of power dynamos has to run
continuously. This emf can be stored in lead acid and we can
also used in nighttime. For ac application, we prefer to use
inverter, which changes this direct current in to alternating
current.
A. BLOCK DIAGRAM:
Fig. 1: Block diagram of speed breaker arrangement
As the population is growing vehicle density will automatically
increases and these vehicle is passes over the speed breaker
arrangement where its weight acts as a load and this load will
transfer to the gear drive by using rack pinion and chain
sprocket .Generator is connected to gear drive so that its runs
as a constant speed and produced electricity next component is
invertors which converts the direct currents in to alternating
currents .It’s used where lower power is required such as street
light and small village or colony and can be stored in battery
for future use.
Fig. 2: Working Model of speed breaker arrangement
This working model works as a generator but its require
muscular power and this power will converted in rotational
motion in first half cycle and next half cycle will completed
automatically and these rotational energy is used for rotating
the permanent magnet and generating the varying flux field
which will passes over the stationary conductor and generates
currents. This generated current can be used at the same
timing or stored for future work in battery

Conclusion
A s o u r d a y s today, life number of vehicle increases in a
considerable amount if in our country on each breaker is works
like a power-generating device in this manner it can save a lot
of amount of electricity .that electricity can be used for other
purpose .as then no of vehicle will increase our speed breaker
will be more efficient .and upcoming days this method will be
used by some other states .because our this method will be
used by some other states .because our most of states faces the
problems of power so they can used this as a alternate of
power generating sources. The main advantages that it is not
required any external sources and as the more number of
vehicles will increase its performed better. our speed breaker
