This document proposes a new technique to generate renewable energy by capturing the wasted kinetic energy from vehicles passing over speed bumps. A prototype system was designed using a rack and pinion mechanism connected to an electric generator. Experimental data showed that a single vehicle passing over the speed bump could generate 19.62 watts of power. Scaling this up, it is estimated that the system could generate 28.25 kilowatts of power per hour from traffic over a 24 hour period. While this offers potential benefits like being low cost and reducing pollution, challenges include the pulsating DC output, corrosion risks, and low efficiency. Further work is needed to design generators and springs for larger scale implementation and integration with the electric grid.
