EVERY SPEED BREAKER IS NOW A SOURCE OF POWER
[attachment=20041]
INTRODUCTION
This paper attempts to show how energy can be tapped
and used at a commonly used system- the road speedbreakers.
The number of vehicles passing over the speed
breaker in roads is increasing day by day.
SCOPE OF THE PAPER
The utilization of energy is an indication of the growth
of a nation. For example, the per capita energy consumption
in USA is 9000 KWh (Kilo Watt hour) per year, whereas the
consumption in India is 1200 KWh (Kilo Watt hour). One
might conclude that to be materially rich and prosperous, a
human being needs to consume more and more energy.
A recent survey on the energy consumption in India had
published a pathetic report that 85,000 villages in India do
not still have electricity. Supply of power in most part of the
country is poor. Hence more research and development and
commercialization of technologies are needed in this field.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
The project is concerned with generation of electricity
from speed breakers-like set up. The load acted upon the
speed breaker - setup is there by transmitted to rack and
pinion arrangements.
Here the reciprocating motion of the speed-breaker is
converted into rotary motion using the rack and pinion
arrangement. The axis of the pinion is coupled with the
sprocket arrangement. The sprocket arrangement is made of
two sprockets.
CONCLUSION
The utilization of energy is an indication of the growth
of a nation. One might conclude that to be materially rich
and prosperous, a human being needs to consume more and
more energy.
And this paper is best source of energy that we get in day
to day life.
