CHAPTER 1
1.1 Overview :
The main objective of this project is to use a non-conventional source of energy to generate
electricity at low cost. To provide an environmental friendly power source. To convert the
kinetic energy of vehicle to potential energy which can be effectively stored and used. In the
present scenario, power becomes major need for human life. Due today-to-day increase in
population and lessen of the conventional sources, it becomes necessary that we must depend
on non-conventional sources for power generation. While moving, the vehicles possess some
kinetic energy and it is being wasted. This kinetic energy can be utilized to produce power by
using a special arrangement called “POWER HUMP” The Kinetic energy of moving vehicles
can be converted into mechanical. Energy of the shaft through rack and pinion mechanism.
This shaft is connected to the electric generator and it produces electrical energy proportional
to traffic density. The generated power can be used for general purpose like streetlights,
traffic signals. The electrical output can be improved by arranging these power humps in
series this generated power can be amplified and stored by using different electric devices.

1.2 Problem Statement :


Now-a-days electric energy is lot in each and every one’s mind. Well it is now possible
while you are driving your car or riding any kind of two wheeler. This can be done when we
drive or ride over a speed breaker. Yes you read it right while riding or driving over a speed
breaker. The conventional speed breakers are only used to reduce the speed of a vehicle
which totally depends on the material with which the speed breakers are made. Sometimes
these speed breakers are made of rubber, sometimes of concrete or sometimes mixture of
concrete and pavements. This can be done by introducing some of simple mechanisms under
the speed breakers. One such simple mechanism is a rack and pinion gear while the other one
is a small generator with some wiring. With the help of these small mechanisms here is how
we can implement the power generation program from the speed breakers.
