ABSTRACT
Man in his lifetime, uses energy in one form or the other. In fact whatever happens in nature, results, out of the conversion of energy in one form or the other? The blowing of the wind, the formation of the clouds and the flow of water are a few examples that stand testimony to this fact. Of late, erratic and perfunctory usage of energy has resulted in an energy crisis, and there is a need to develop methods of optimal utilization, which will not only ease the crisis but also preserve the environment. This project attempts to show how man has been utilizing energy and to explore prospects of optimizing the same. Researches show that the world has already had its enough shares of its energy resources. Fossil fuels pollute the environment. Nuclear energy requires careful handling of both raw as well as waste material. The focus now is shifting more and more towards the renewable sources of energy, which are essentially, nonpolluting.Energy conservation is the cheapest new source of energy. It is an attractive technology for optimal use of available sources. This project attempts to show how energy can be tapped and used at a commonly used system, the road-speed breakers. The number of vehicles passing over the speed breaker in roads is increasing day by day. There is possibility of tapping the energy and generating power by making the speed breaker as a power generation unit. The generated power can be used for the lamps near the speed breakers. Hence, a project work has been done in our institution, implementing this idea practically under the title Design and Development of Power Generation Unit in Speed Breakers. This project explains clearly, the working principle of the designed system, its practical implementation, and its advantages. Design of each component has been carried out using standard procedures, and the components have been fabricated and assembled. A similar model of the system has been modeled using Pro-E. Practical testing of the system has been done with different loads at different speeds.

ABSTRACT

In most small scale industries and workshop hand cutter or punch is used for cutting the metal or metal sheet material circularly. The circular punch is only used for cutting the material in the same diameter. For different diameter separate punch is manufactured but it becomes costlier. Our project deal with the cutting of metal circularly for various diameters by simply adjusting the radius of the tool. In this project a tool setup with single point cutting tool is attached above the chuck of the drilling machine. The tool setup contains a groove arm in it. In that groove arm single point cutting tool is attached. When the drilling machine is operated the rotation of the single point cutting tool cut the material circularly. This setup helps to increase the production and reduce the cost of the material production.
