- 2. Introduction Different mechanisms Spring coil mechanism Rack pinion mechanism Merits and demerit scope and uses Conclusion CONTENTS
- 3. A large amount of energy is wasted at the speed breakers through friction , every time a vehicle passes over it. So electricity can be generated using the vehicle weight (potential energy) as input. So, this is a small step to try to improve this situation. INTRODUCTION
- 4. POSSIBLE USING DIFFERENT MECHANISM 1.Spring coil mechanism. 2.Rack- pinion mechanism. 3.Crank-shaft mechanism. 4.Roller mechanism.
- 5. Conversion of mechanical energy to pneumatic energy. which is converted to electrical energy Working principle
- 6. The material used in construction of speed breakers is steel. The shape of speed breaker is trapezoidal . Design of the speed Breaker
- 7. Here we are making the speed breaker of vibrating type, when a vehicle crosses the speed breaker, it gets pressed and then it gets back to its original position. Dimensions of speed breaker:- Height Width Length : 0.2m : 0.4m : 4m Construction of the speed Breaker
- 8. Height: 0.35m Length : 4m Width :0.45m The bottom layer of the trench is filled with concrete or with wooden plates of 0.5m. This is for cushion effect. Construction of the Trench
- 9. Vehicle approaching the speed breaker 1. Spring coil Mechanism
- 10. Maximum load on the speed breaker is when the vehicle is on the middle of the speed breaker. Continued..
- 11. When the pressure in the FRL unit exceeds the defined level the valve opens and the pressurized air is given to the nozzle. Continued..
- 12. The diameter of the inlet of nozzle must be greater than outlet. Here the pressure energy is converted to kinetic energy i.e pressure→high velocity. This high velocity compressd air when hits the impeller ,makes it to rotate. NOZZLE
- 13. CONSISTS - Casing Runner and buckets CASING- This is provided to safeguard device against accidents. IMPELLER
- 14. It consists of a circular disc on the periphery of which have number of buckets evenly spaced are fixed. Each bucket is divided in to 2 symmetrical parts by a dividing wall is know as splitter. When the air strikes the runner ,it rotates & continues rotation due to inertia. RUNNER
- 15. An electrical generator is a machine which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The output of the alternator is used to light the street lights & is rectified & stored in batteries. ALTERNATOR
- 16. The various machine elements used in the construction of power hump are i. RACK-PINION ii. SPROCKETS iii. GEARS iv. FLY WHEEL v. SHAFT vi. ELECTRIC GENERATOR 2.RACK PINION MECHANISM:
- 17. Sprocket Transfers rotary motion between two shafts Rack-pinion To change linear motion into rotary motion and vice versa.
- 18. To regulate the energy and maintain the energy at an uniform level so that the shaft rotate at an uniform r.p.m Flywheel Gear The input gear transfers power to the output gear.
- 19. RACK – PINION MECHANISM WORKING
- 20. BLOCK DIAGRAM
- 21. Merits Demerits Low Budget electricity production. Less floor area. No obstruction to traffic Non polluting power generating source. No need to manual work. We have to check mechanism from time to time. It can get rusted in rainy season.
- 22. . Future scope: Suitable at parking of multiplexes, malls, toll booths, signals, etc. Uses: Charging batteries and using them to light up the streets, etc. Such speed breakers can be designed for heavy vehicles, thus increasing input torque and ultimately output of generator. More suitable and compact mechanisms to enhance efficiency.
- 23. It can be implemented at metropolitan cities, So that more electric power is produced. Arrangement of whole setup is easier and it is eco friendly The stored electricity could satisfy the daily requirement of electric power. CONCLUSION
