2. In the present scenario power becomes
major need for human life. Due to day-to-
day increase in population and lessen of
the conventional sources, it becomes
necessary that we must depend on non-
conventional sources for power generation.

4. To generate electricity using vehicle
speed and weight as input.
Speed breaker POWER GENERATOR Converter is a
non-conventional energy generation. It is
electromechanical energy generating machine
7. Here we are making the speed breaker of
vibrating type, when a vehicle crosses the speed
breaker, it gets pressed and then get backs to its
original position.
The shape of the speed breaker is trapezoidal.
8. The bottom layer of the trench is filled
with concrete or with wooden plates.
9. Deflection of spring=(64*w*n*N*r^3)/(G*D^4)
Where
W=designed load;
r=mean radius of coil;
D=diameter of wire;
N=number of springs;
n=no. of spring turns;
G=modulus of rigidity;
10.
11. 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)
Maximum load on the speed breaker is
when the vehicle is on the middle of the
speed breaker.
12. When the pressure in the FRL unit exceeds the defined value the valve
opens and the pressurized air is given to the nozzle.
13. Here the pressure energy is converted into kinetic energy
i.e. pressure->high velocity.
This high velocity compressed air when hits the impeller
makes it to rotate.
14. Casing,
Runner and buckets.
This is provided to safe guard device against accidents.
15. It consists of a circular disc on
periphery of which have number
of buckets are evenly spaced are
fixed. Each bucket is divided into
two symmetrical parts by dividing
valve known as splitter.
When the air strikes the runner,
it rotates and continues rotation
due to inertia.
16. It’s a device which converts mechanical
energy into electrical energy.

18. Various machine elements used in it:
Rack-pinion
SPROCKET
GEARS
FLY WHEEL
SHAFT
ELECTRIC GENERATOR
20. The input gear transfers
power to output gear
21. This is used to regulate the energy and maintain energy at
an uniform level so that the shaft rotates at an uniform
r.p.m .

23.
24. Low budget electricity production.
Less floor area,
No obstruction to traffic,
Suitable at parking of multiplexes, malls, toll-booths,
signals, etc.
May not work with light weight vehicles.
Regular maintainance is required.
