ABSTRACT
In the present day scenario, power is a major need for human life. There is a need to develop non-
conventional sources for power generation due to in this fast moving world, population is increasing day by
day and the conventional energy sources are lessening And also they create lot of pollution they are costly ,
required large place ,large investment they are not eco-friendly .. Therefore to overcome this problem, we
need New resources of energy Generation So, My project generate electricity by using Speed breaker . We
utilize the energy which is wasted when the vehicles passes over a speed breaker. We generate Lots of
energy when vehicle passes over it.. My Capstone Project emphasises on the idea that the kinetic energy
getting wasted while vehicles move can be utilized to generate power by using a special arrangement of
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. ”This generated power can be used for general
purpose applications like streetlights, traffic signals. In addition, we could also implant solar panels, which
would satisfy our power needs, when there is no vehicular movement.
INTRODUCTION
Energy crisis is one of the main problems and issues which are under focus these days. We have shortage of
Conventional resources of energy and most conventional resources like fossil fuels etc are not eco-friendly and
also cause pollution. Now it’s time to move towards solution of energy crisis with the factor in mind that
solution should be eco-friendly. As population of the world increasing rapidly, vehicles which are related to
population are also increasing on roads. When vehicle passes over the road a large amount of energy is being
wasted in different forms e-g friction, kinetic energy. We can make use of this energy and could generate power.In
back days this method was of not much importance because relatively energy wasted on roads was not much
but now due to high population and high traffic on roads this wasting energy is of much importance and
should be focused upon. Specially designed speed breakers could be implemented on roads which can generate
power when any vehicle passes over them. When vehicle passes over the speed breaker it presses it down and
due to Rack-Pinion this linear motion is converted into rotary motion and then this rotary motion can be used
to
operate DC generator to produce electricity. Batteries are used to save the energy and DC could be converted into
AC using inverter. This project could be implemented on roads where there is heavy traffic
There were approximately 1.474 billion vehicles in the world in 2023 and this figure increasing day by day
So we can use this opportunity and energy to generate power. In order to solve this problem of energy crisis a
project is made by us, which is using speed breaker to produce electricity. A special proto-type of speed breaker
was made by us and was implemented on the road and under speed breaker. Rack-Pinion mechanism was used in
this project. When vehicles passes over these specially designed speed breakers then due to rack pinion linear
motion is converted into rotary motion. Rotary motion then can be used to rotate the shaft of dynamo or
generator. Power generation by this method has many advantages because it is eco-friendly method and generation
is throughout the year.
WORKING
This project explains the mechanism of electricity generation from speed breakers. The vehicle load acted
upon the speed breaker system is transmitted to rack and pinion arrangements. Then, reciprocating motion
of the speed-breaker is converted into rotary motion using the rack and pinion arrangement where the axis
of the pinion is coupled with the sprocket arrangement. The sprocket arrangement is made of two sprockets.
One of the sprocket is larger in dimension than the other sprocket. Both the sprockets are connected with
chain which transmits the power from the larger sprocket to the smaller sprocket. As the power is
transmitted from the larger sprocket to the smaller sprocket, the speed that is available at the larger sprocket
is relatively multiplied at the rotation of the smaller sprocket. The axis of the smaller sprocket is coupled to
a gear arrangement. Here we have two gears with different dimensions. The gear wheel with the larger
diameter is coupled to the axis of the smaller sprocket. Hence, the speed that has been increased at the
smaller sprocket wheel is passed on to this gear wheel of larger diameter. The smaller gear is coupled to the
larger gear. Therefore, as the larger gear rotates it increases the speed of the smaller gear which is following
the larger gear and multiplies the speed to more intensity. Though the speed due to the rotary motion
achieved at the larger sprocket wheel is less, as the power is transmitted to gears, the final speed achieved is
high. This speed is sufficient to rotate the rotor of a generator and is fed into the rotor of a generator. The
rotor which rotates within a static magnetic stator cuts the magnetic flux surrounding it, thus producing the
electric motive force (emf). This generated emf is then sent to an inverter, where the generated emf is
regulated. This regulated emf is now sent to the storage battery where it is stored during the day time and
can be used in night time for providing power to street lights
LITERATURE REVIEW
The energy crisis is a bottleneck in the supply of energy resources to an economy. The studies to sort
out the energy crisis led to the idea of generating power using speed breaker. First to make use were
South African people, their electrical crisis has made them to implement this method to light up small
villages of the highway. The idea of basic physics to convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy
that goes waste when the vehicle runs over the speed-break was used. Since then a lot has been done in
this field. The idea caught our working team and we have decided to develop such a project that will
produce more power and store it for use at night time as it proves to be a boon to the economy of the
country. The standard of speed breaker power generation is generally depend on changing kinetic potential
energies to electricity. Kinetic and potential energies are delivered from the vertical displacement when
vehicles pass over the speed breaker. Speed breaker power generation systems work from mechanical and
electrical parts. The most effective mechanism utilized as a part of speed breaker power generation system
previously are the roller, the crank shaft and the magnetic mechanisms.
METHODOLOGY
Forming a group:-
Selection of project:-
We searched for the topic of project on Google, you tube and in books. Also we took project by
considering some criteria’s such as time and cost required to make project. We also approved our
project from our guide.
Design of components:-
Then we figure out dimensions required for all components. Stress going to applied on each
component, factor of safety of component and important designs.
The main need of making any project is to make the production drawing with all dimensions,
tolerance and other required values of the project.
We then decided specification of components such as its capacity, dimensions. Also we decided how
many components are required.
Then we figure out which components are required to buy and which we can make so that we could
able to decide approximate costing required for our project.
BLOCK DIAGRAM
CONCEPTUAL DRAWING
LIST OF COMPONENTS
The working principle of this power generation program is to Convert the kinetic energy to electric energy
via mechanical Energy. This can be done when the brakes are applied upon The vehicle kinetic energy is
produced. After this the kinetic Energy is converted to mechanical energy using a rack and Pinion gear and
the by connecting the pinion gear to a Generator shaft the energy is converted into electrical energy.
1. Speed Breaker: - This is a normally used thing in Everyday life. This element can be made from the
Composite of carbon fibre and rubber so that the Speed breaker can sustain the heavy load of Vehicles
such as a container filled with some Material in it. The speed breakers can be made such That the starting
and ending slopes would be made Up of concrete and cement mixture and the central Part would be made
up of the composite mentioned Before.
2. Rack and Pinion Gear :- This is one of the simplest types of gears and can be manufactured According
to one’s own need. As the name suggests this type of gear has two components namely Rack which is a
straight gear with tooth in only one Direction, the second component is the Pinion which is a round shaped
gear and will roll upon the Rack to perform its task. The alignment of this gear will be in vertical
direction.
3. Generator: - A generator is a device which converts Mechanical energy into electrical energy. In this
Case the work of the generator remains the same and for that the shaft of the generator will have a Pinion
gear on its edge. The pinion gear will be Meshed with the pinion gear of Rack and Pinion Arrangement. As
the first pinion gear will rotate the Second gear will also rotate with the shaft of the
Generator. This will induce EMF (Electro MotivForce) in the generator and electricity will be Produced.
4. Electricity Storage: - It is very difficult to store Electricity for a long time into any kind of storage.
To deal with this issue a battery pack will be introduced which will help us store the electric Energy in to
the battery pack. Also battery packs can be useful to transfer electric energy from one Place to another
5. Ball Bearings
A roller-element bearing is a bearing which carries a load by placing round elements between the two
pieces. The relative motion of the pieces causes the round elements to roll(tumble) with little sliding. They
reduce the friction and transmit the motion effectively.
6. Spur Gear
It is a positive power transmission device with definite velocity ratio. It is preferred for adjusting
some linear misalignment. It should have high wear and tear, shock-absorbing capacity.
7 Flywheel
The primary function of flywheel is to act as an energy accumulator. It reduces the fluctuations in speed[9].
It absorbs the energy when demand is less and releases the same when it is required.
8 Shaft
It is a rotating element, which is used to transmit power from one place to another place. It supports
the rotating elements like gears and flywheels. It must have high torsional rigidity and lateral rigidity
A rack and pinion mechanism is The main Part of Energy generation using speed breaker Model .A rack
and pinion mechanism is it is way to turn a circular motion into a straight motion. It is made up of two
parts: a pinion, which is a small gear, and a rack, which is a long gear with straight teeth. When the pinion
is turned, it meshes with the teeth on the rack and moves it in a straight line. This is how steering works in
a car. When you turn the steering wheel, it turns the pinion, which moves the rack, which in turn turns the
wheels
MATERIAL SELECTION
Machine description
The speed breaker is a stable frame structure that consists of various components such as rack and pinion
gears, flywheel, chain and sprocket, properly mounted on shafts and some other components such as
journal bearings, helical springs and a dome-shaped hump
Good material selection was undertaken to reduce noise and wear, ease of maintenance, improve service
life and reduce corrosion. Machine frame, shaft and dome-shaped top – (Mild Steel).
Carbon content ranges from 0.1 -0.3% and iron content of 99.7–99.9%.
Offers an excellent weldability
It has a good balance of toughness, strength and ductility.
Improved machining characteristics.
Mild steel is highly malleable and can be used for various construction purposes. Springs –
(Oil Tempered Carbon Steel).
Quenched and tempered to improve toughness and ductility. Rack and pinion gear mechanism –
(Cast iron).
Good wear resistance.
Resistance to corrosion
Spring
According to Khurmi and Gupta (2005), the following points should be considered when designing springs.
The spring should not close up before the maximum service load is reached.
Failure is due to the twisting moment (T) set up in the wire. Thus, torsional stress is induced in the
wire
The pitch of the coil should be such that if the spring is accidentally or carelessly compressed, the stress
does not increase beyond the yield point stress in torsion. The design parameters for the spring are
presented in Table 1. Relationships for the design of spring, according to Khurmi and Gupta (2005):
Springs
To apply force
To control vibrations
To control motion
To reduce impact i.e. as Shock absorbers.
Helical Springs used in this system are directly welded toa steel strip which is bolted or fastened tightly
to the speedbreaker.
Outer diameter of the spring, D = 60mLength of the spring, l = 240mm Number of coils, n = 12
Mean coil diameter = D- d
= 60 - 6= 54mm
Shaft
The shaft, sometimes abbreviated to crank, is responsible for conversion between reciprocating motion
and rotational motion. In a reciprocating engine, it translates reciprocating linear piston motion into
rotational motion, whereas in a reciprocating compressor, it converts the rotational motion into
reciprocating motion. The shaft used here is connected to the connecting rod by means of ball bearings.
GEAR
Gears are used here for amplifying the speed. The type of gears used in this model is Spur Gears. Two
gears out of which one is a pinion and other is a larger gear are used here. These two gears mesh with one
another in order to transmit torque.
Two gears working in tandem are called a transmission and can produce a mechanical advantage through a
gear ratio. Spur gears or straight cut gears are the simplest type of gear. They consist of a cylinder or disk
with the teeth projecting radially, and although they are not straight-sided in form, the edge of each tooth is
straight and aligned parallel to the axis of rotation. These gears can be meshed together correctly only if
they are fitted to parallel shafts.
Specifications of Pinion
AC Generator
An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. A generator forces
electric current to flow through an external circuit. The source of mechanical energy may be a
reciprocating or turbine steam engine, water falling through a turbine or waterwheel, an internal
combustion engine, a wind turbine, a hand crank, compressed air, or any other source of mechanical
energy. Generators provide nearly all of the power for electric power grids. An AC generator is coupled
with the shaft on which the pinion is mounted.
DESIGN CALCULATION
DESIGN CALCULATION
Design of springs
Material of the spring = ASTM A228 Steel (G=80 Gpa) Wire diameter of the spring, d = 6mm
Outer diameter of the spring, D = 60mm Length of the spring, l = 240mm Number of coils, n = 12
Mean coil diameter = D-d
= 60 -6 = 54mm
Stiffness of the spring, k = G×d4 /8 × D3 × n
= 80 × 104 × (6) 4
8 × (54)3 ×12
= 6.9 N/mm
Calculation of Load
Calculation of torque
Design of shaft
Therefore, we get diameter of shaft as 23.75 i.e. 20 mm approx. So we proceed with the highest value of the
both diameter.

APPLICATIONS
CONCLUSION
"Electricity plays a very important role in our life”. Due to population explosion, the current power
generation has become insufficient to fulfill our requirements. In this project we discover technology to
generate electricity from speed breakers in which the system used is reliable and this technique will help
conserve our natural resources. 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. As the
conventional sources are depleting very fast, it’s high time to think of alternative resources. We got to
save the power gained from the conventional sources for efficient use. So this idea not only provides
alternative but also adds to the economy of the country.
