Electrical Power Generation Using Speed Breaker Mechanism: An Innovative Approach to Energy Harvesting

Abstract

Energy is essential for modern human life, yet conventional energy sources are depleting rapidly. This paper introduces an innovative method for generating electrical power using speed breakers, converting the kinetic energy from vehicles into mechanical energy, and then to electrical energy through a rack-and-pinion mechanism. The generated power can be stored and used for street lighting and other applications. This sustainable approach offers a clean, low-cost, and efficient solution for small-scale power generation, especially in urban areas with significant traffic. The study explores the system's design, methodology, advantages, and performance in different traffic conditions.
