Introduction
A large amount of potential energy is wasted in speed breaker through friction, every time when vehicle passes over it.
So electricity can be generate using vehicle weight (potential energy) as an input.
So this small step to improve this situation.
Continued..
In this model we are showing how generate a voltage from heavy running traffic.
Concept of conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy is used in this project.Available Methods
Rack-Pinion Mechanism
Crank-Shaft Mechanism
Roller Mechanism
Problem with Crank-Shaft Mechanism
Crank-shafts are required to be mounted on bearings which may cause balancing problem leading to mechanical vibration in turn damage the bearings. The bearings are of sliding type hence any occurrence of variable load (which is obvious ofvehicles) leads to balancing problem.

Problem with Roller Mechanism
Roller Mechanism has some different types of disadvantages. Maintenance will be very difficult. It might caused collision problem.

Working Of Rack-Pinion Mechanism
The Rack and Pinion convert between rotary and linear motion. Rack and pinion can convert from rotary to linear and also from linear to rotary.The diameter of the gear determines the speed that rack moves as the pinion turns.Rack and pinion are commonly used in steering systems of cars to convert the rotary motion of the steering wheel to the side toside motion in the whiles.
Here the reciprocating motion of the speed-breaker is converted into rotary motion using the rack and pinion arrangement. The axis of pinion is coupled with the sprocket arrangement. The axis of smaller sprocket is coupled to gear arrangement. Finally the gear arrangement is coupled with the generator.

Pollution Free Power Generation
Simple Construction,LessMaintenance,New technology
Energy Available All Year
No Fuel Transportation
No Manual work DuringGeneration
Use Of Renewable Power Source
Check mechanism time to time.
It can rusted in rainy season.
Not work with light weight vehicle.
Generated power is less.
This project is already implemented inthe South Africa for reducing the energy crisis.This method is also used to light up the small villages on the highway.In India it is used in Guwahati the capital city of the Assam.
Low budget electricity production.No obstruction to traffic. Less floor area.Easy maintenance. Suitable at parking
