POWER GENARATION USING RECIPROCATING SHAFT MECHANISM ATTACHED TO SPEED BUMPERS

Abstract

Electricity is generated by replacing the usual speed breakers with some simple mechanism. As vehicles pass over the speed breakers, reciprocating shaft mechanism works and with the help of high-tension springs which in turn generate electricity. This method is an effective way to produce electricity as the number of vehicles is ever increasing. It can be effectively placed near toll plazas, parking lots and other locations where density of vehicles is very high. A reciprocating shaft mechanism & spring assembly mechanism is provided to transfer the motion to a DC motor/generator for electricity generation. This method provides a cost-effective way to generate electricity from the mechanical energy of dynamic vehicles on roads.
