This project harvests energy from speed breaker by making air

compression arrangement and using electronics gadgets. And if

implemented will be very beneficial for Government . When vehicle is in motion it produces various forms of energy. When the vehicle moves over the inclined plates, it gains height resulting in increase in potential energy , which is wasted in a conventional rumble strip. This wasted potential energy can be converted into useful ELECTRIC energy in many purpose by implementation of this project idea as we explaining in this presentation and report. This is a free energy generation idea after applying little initial cost only

 The demand for power is increasing enormously. So there is a need to generate power from every possible means rather than solely depending on power generation from power plants. Hence i would like to present an idea of generating electric power at low cost using simple mechanism of converting mechanical energy to electrical energy from the idea is '" electric power generation from speed breakers ". Currently there are various methods for electricity generation. Here is a novel method for generating electricity from speed breakers which is eco-friendly. In our design, the speed breakers have to be made with air pumps. When a vehicle loads a speed breaker it compresses air and this air is used to drive the impeller. This serves as a source for the alternator. Then the generated electricity is stored in batteries and will be further used for various purposes like lighting up the street

 In this technological era, all the modern equipment and advancements rely on the electricity. Electricity serves as a back bone to these achievements. Can we imagine a second without electricity? Calculate the losses caused by the shortage of electricity. Currently there are various methods for electricity generation. Here is a novel method for generating electricity from speed breakers which is ecofriendly. In our design, the speed breakers have to be made with air pumps. When a vehicle loads a speed breaker it compresses air and this air is used to drive the impeller. This serves as a source for the alternator. Thus in this project, going to present a new method of electricity generation. Hope this design will be implemented soon !!!

How to compress air? Haw to store compressed air and make compressor arrangement? how we convert this pressure energy in electric energy? How we can store energy? How we make all arrangements of model?

 How to compress air? As we have to compress air we need a compression device. So we can use a air filling pump which is generally used for filling air in sports equipment like football, basketball etc. This air compression pump is to be fixed under the speed breaker by which pump is compressed by moving vehicles. This air is stored in the storage tank.

For storage of compressed air coming from the compression pump we use the small storage tank. In this vessel we store the air compressed by the moving vehicles. In the storage vessel we can use: 1) One inlet valve through which the air is enter in to the vessel dont go back. 2) One pressure release valve which is further connected with PVC jet as we used for the toilets.

Now our objective is to convert the pressure energy into electric energy . This pressure energy of compressed air is converted into electric energy with the help of dynamo . Dynamo is rotated with the help of a impeller and a fan is rotating with help of air pressure jet is connected with air compressor vessel. A led is connected with dynamo.

 There is a question arises how we can store energy which is delivered by dynamo .so for this question we use a battery which is used in torch. It is a battery we used for storage purposes.

Connect all the parts mentioned below in accordance to proper position , arrangement in serial order. 1)Air compression pump. 2)Air storage vessel. 3)Dynamo 4)Led

How it works

 "A vehicle weighing 1,000 kg going up a height of 10 cm on such a rumble strip produces approximately 0.98 kilowatt power. So one such speed-breaker on a busy highway, where about 100 vehicles pass every minute, about one kilo watt of electricity can be produced every single minute. The figure will be huge at the end of the day .This can generate up to 100watts of power which can be used for various purposes.

In the existing design there is the top area attached with road is more and there is no air storage vessel and also no electricity storage device.

 :-In the existing design there is no mean is used to store the compressed air .this is the drawback of the model .which does not able to provide regular supply of air to the impellor to rotate the alternator/dynamo . And main cause of reduction in the efficiency. In our final design we added a air storage vessel to store the air compressed by the moving vehicles over the speed breaker. This leads to increase the efficiency of electricity generation. Because the dynamo takes some time to start generate electricity after it starts rotating. By using air storage vessel we can provide regular supply of highly compressed pressurize air to the impellor. Due this happen we can save lot time which lags due to irregular supply of air and produce such a high quantity of electricity. This can

 Speed breaker: It is made up of wooden block of length 50cm and breadth 30 cm and thickness is 8 cm. The air pump is fixed under the speed breaker. Air compression pump: the air pump is used to compress the air to the pressure vessel. The air pump is that which is used to fill the air in basket balls and other sports equipment. Air storage vessel:- A small metallic storage vessel is used to store the compressed air from the compression pump. Pipe with nozzle: the PVC jet as a nozzle is used to carry the compressed air to impellers which is mounted on the dynamo. This kind of pipe is used in the bathrooms.

Dynamo: it is used to generate the electricity with the help of impellors. When the impellor rotates the magnetic flux linked with the coil changes as a result the electricity produced in the dynamo. This electricity is stored in the battery. Impeller: it is made up of steel. It is just as the fan used in the table fan. The impeller is rotated by the help of compressed air through the air jet. This is connected to the dynamo. Wires: the wires which are used in carrying electricity is generally used wires. The wires is connected with battery and dynamo Battery: it is used to store the current of dynamo. Digital ammeter: it is an electric equipment used to measure the current. It is connected to the dynamo. It shows the little deflection of the current. Wooden block:- the wooden block is used for the purpose of holding and supporting complete set up of the project.

When the load is on the speed breaker, the volume of air compressed by it is found by, Volume of compressed air = Volume of air in base Volume of spring = l*b*h N*n*d^2/4 = x m^3/s The x m^3/s air released is taken through the outlet at one end of speed breaker. A pneumatic cylinder with an FRL unit is connected to the outlet of this pipe. When the pressure in the FRL unit exceeds the defined level the valve opens and the pressurized air is given to the nozzle. The diameter of the inlet (nozzle) must be greater than the outlet.

 In this project, written about a new approach of generation of electricity from the speed breaker. This can generate up to 100Kwatts of power which can be used for various purposes. Here we have converted the mechanical energy to pneumatic energy then to electrical energy. This design will help to reduce the cost of electricity generation. In the old model there is a problem of storing the air and the current so by using the battery and pressure vessel we overcome the drawback of continuous supply of air and current. we analyse the old model and use new idea for electricity generation
