3. INTRODUCTION
 Need of renewable energy-
Conventional energy resources are limited i.e. fossil fuels,
Nuclear energy etc.
 Wastage of kinetic energy of vehicles passing over a speed
breaker-
Energy of vehicle is wasted as heat in it.

4. Continue
 Using wasted kinetic energy in producing electricity –
Extraction of such kinetic energy can be used to produce and
store electricity.
 Speed breaker generator for extraction of energy
Principle of working- Simply energy conversion from
mechanical to electrical.

5. Load Considerations
 The Roads are different at different locations, when we design
something related to roads, it is must to consider all type of loads. [1]
1) Bus= 10200 kg at back axle
2) Multi-Axle Volvo= 14500 kg at back axle
3) 3 axles rigid lorry= 26000 kg
4) 5 axle vehicle with draw bar trailer = 36000 kg
5) 6 axle draw bar heavy duty lorry = 41000 kg
6) 6 axles artic heavy duty vehicle = 44000 kg

9. Working Process
Ref. (Power Ramp, Hughes Research)8/11/2019 9

10. Considering 7 kg load (m) on the pressure lever, the lever travels a distance of 0.152 meter (S) and
the total time taken to travel this distance is 0.717 seconds(t). RPM for one Stroke is 1014. [1]
• Input power-
Work done = W= F*S
= mg*S
= 7*9.81*0.152
= 10.43 Joule
Input Power = Total Work done / Total time
taken to do the work
= 10.43/0.717
= 14.55 Watt
• Output Power = Voltage * Current
= 4 * 0.5
= 2 Watt
Efficiency = (Output Power /
Input Power)*100 %
= (2/14.55)*100 %
= 13.75%

and Output Power

11. Advantages
 It can eliminate the transmission system (electric towers) in rural areas.
 Simple construction.
 Offers renewable energy having very less environmental impact.

12. Disadvantages
 It may not work with light weight vehicle.
 Require more suitable and compact mechanisms to enhance efficiency.
 Checking of mechanism from time to time in short span of period.
 Because of Rain water it may get damaged.

13. Conclusion
• In coming days, it will prove a great boon to the world, since it will save a
lot of electricity of power plants that gets wasted in illuminating the street
lights.
• Vehicular traffic can be utilized for proper generation by means of a new
technique called “power hump”. It has advantages that it does not utilize
any external source.
