Abstract

It is very significant to design pollution free energy generation system. Speed breaker Power Generator (SBPG) is the most emerging technique which produces electrical power with minimum input. An experimental study to generate the electricity by SBPG is described in this paper. In this system, a rack and pinions mechanism is used for the production of electricity. When a car reaches on the speed breaker, the rack moves downward to generate linear to rotary motion using pinions. The rotary motion is transferred to DC generator which generates DC power which is stored in batteries same as in solar technology. The generated power can be used for the domestic purpose or commercially, which are present near the speed breaker. This examined that SBPG is generating 273.24W on single push under the application of 400kg. In an hour, passing 100 cars of 400kg can generate 54.59 kWh. This mechanism utilizes both downward as well as the upward motion of the rack.
