Transforming shock absorbers momentum to electricity.
Electricity is required in our day to day life now-a-day s. But we
are not reaching the demand. For example we need 100 watts to
fulfill everyone's requirements to their content but we are
producing only 10 watt so we are adjusting and reducing our
requirements. Presently we are using natural resources to
generate electricity which will be extinct after few years. So we
have to utilize energy to the maximum extent utilizing all the
energy going as waste i.e un useful work. This is a small attempt
to reduce the gap between generation and usage of electricity.
PRINCIPLE
This works on up and down movement of shock absorber(suspension of
two wheeler.
Pm motor It is a type of an
electric generator that produces an
Alternating Current and in the
presence of a commutator.

Bridge Rectifier It is an
arrangement of four diodes in a bridge
circuit configuration that provides the
same polarity of output for either
polarity of input.

Capacitor It is a passive two-
terminal electrical component used to
store energy in the form of electric
charge.
One end of a free rod is
connected to the
suspension.

The other end of the
rod is connected to the
dynamo.

The free end of shaft
of the dynamo is fitted
with a small roller which
is placed over a rubber
strip.

The rubber strip is
fixed over the surface
of the fixed lower part
of the suspension
arrangement.
The wires from the pm motor
are connected to the bridge
rectifier via a switch.

A capacitor is used for the
storage of electric charge.

Another switch is used for the
purpose of charging of external
devices.
Whenever the vehicle experiences a jerk, the suspension moves down.
The free rod also moves down along with the suspension, which in turn
results in the downward rolling motion of the shaft over the rubber
strip.

As the shaft rotates, the coil inside the pm motor also rotates which
results in the generation of induced electricity.

The electricity that is generated, passes to the bridge rectifier via
the connecting wires from the pm motor .

The bridge rectifier converts the Alternating Current to the Direct
Current.

This current can be used for lightening of bulbs or it can also be
stored in a capacitor.

Since the weight of the system is very less, it does hampers
with the momentum of the vehicle. Therefore, more power is
produced from a comparatively lesser energy.

Since it is a case of rolling motion, and we know that the
coefficient of rolling friction is less, hence there is no
significant loss in the energy.

In this, the diameter of the pm motor is about 3 cm. if this
diameter is further reduced, then more amount of energy can
be produced due to greater number of rotations.

Energy is produced near the speed breakers as well as near
ditches on even slightly uneven roads.


As we are utilizing energy that is generally going as waste there
are not many disadvantages.
Further modifications
The number of pm motor used can be increased.
The capacity of pm motor can be increased.
The diameter of pm motor can be decreased.
Gear system can be introduced so that efficiency can be increased.
