Power Generation Using Rumble humps
Introduction
A large amount of potential energy is wasted in speed breaker through friction, every time when vehicle passes over it.
So electricity can be generate using vehicle weight (potential energy) as an input.
So this small step to improve this situation.
Continued…..
In this model we are showing how generate a voltage from heavy running traffic.
Concept of conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy is used in this project.
AVAILABLE METHODS
RACK PINION MECHANISM
CRANK SHAFT MECHANISM
ROLLER MECHANISM
Problem with Crank-Shaft Mechanism
Crank-shafts are required to be mounted on bearings which may cause balancing problem
leading to mechanical vibration in turn damage the bearings
Problem with Roller Mechanism Roller Mechanism has some different types of disadvantages. Maintenance will be very difficult. It might caused collision problem.
Advantages of Rack-Pinion Mechanism
Rack-Pinion assembly gives good mounting convenience. Maximum gear loss is 3-5% Efficiency is up to 95%

Working Of Rack-Pinion Mechanism The Rack and Pinion convert between
rotary and linear motion. Rack and pinion can convert from rotary to linear and also from linear to rotary.
The diameter of the gear determines the speed that rack moves as the pinion turns.
Rack and pinion are commonly used in steering systems of cars to convert the rotary motion of the steering wheel to the side to side motion in the whiles.
Here the reciprocating motion of the speed-breaker is converted into rotary motion using the rack and pinion arrangement.
The axis of pinion is coupled with the sprocket arrangement. The axis of smaller sprocket is coupled to gear arrangement.
Finally the gear arrangement is coupled with the generator.

Simple Construction,Less Maintenance,New technology
Energy Available All Year
No Fuel Transportation
No Manual work During Generation
Pollution Free Power Generation
Use Of Renewable Power Source
Advantages
Check mechanism time to time.
It can rusted in rainy season.
Not work with light weight vehicle.
Generated power is less.
Disadvantages
ImplementationThis project is already implemented in the South Africa for reducing the energy crisis.
This method is also used to light up the small villages on the highway.
In India it is used in Guwahati the capital city of the Assam.
Scope And Uses
Low budget electricity production.
Less floor area. Easy maintenance.
Suitable at parking
ConclusionThe utilization is an 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 that we get in day to day life
Road power generation is new type of the unconventional source of the energy. This is a type of vibration harvesting. This used waste energy of vehicles and converts kinetic energy to electrical energy.
