This document describes a road power generator (RPG) that converts the kinetic energy of passing vehicles into electrical energy. The RPG uses a moving plate on the road that captures vehicle movement and transfers it through a crankshaft or roller mechanism to spin flywheels. The flywheel rotation is then used to generate electricity which can be fed into the power grid. The RPG provides a way to capture some of the large amounts of wasted energy from vehicle traffic and convert it to useful electricity.

3. INTRODUCTION
Road Power Generator (RPG) is one of the most
recent power generation concepts.
This device is engineered as a practical and useful
alternative energy technology for generating clean
electricity from the millions of vehicles on our
roadways.
This device converts the kinetic energy of the
vehicles into electrical energy.
This is done by moving plate installed on the road,
this plate take the stroke motion of the vehicles and
convert it to the rotary motion by crank mechanism
and it generates electricity.

4. WASTAGE OF POWER
The amount of energy wasted by a vehicles is
enormous.
According to traffic authority statistics shows that
15,000 to 20,000 vehicles travel along each main
road every day.
Some roads have five time this traffic volume.
This equates to at least 30,000 to 40,000 tons of
wasted energy per road per day.
There are several minimizing wasted energy as
using road power generator.

6. WORKING PRINCIPLE
Road power generator is a system design to
capture waste and kinetic energy from all vehicles.
This device converts the kinetic energy of the
vehicles into electric energy.
This is done by moving plate installed on the road,
this plate captured very small movement from the
road surfaces and it transferred to a keyway
flywheel system. from hundreds of wheel lies a
single flywheel having used to driving machinery.
The RPG included the method of driving one
flywheel to another, once it reached
predetermining velocity.

7. The RPG flywheel system has been developed to
achieve large amount of moment of inertia in
relatively small space.
The captured energy is converted into electricity
which is fed into power grid.

8. DIFFERENT MECHANISM
 There are possible using three different
mechanisms:
1. Crank shaft mechanism.
2. Roller mechanism.
3. Rack and Pinion mechanism.

9. CRANK SHAFT MECHANISM
Crank-Shaft are required to be mounted on
bearings which creates balancing problem leading
to mechanical vibrating which in turn damage the
bearings.
 Secondly as bearings are of sliding type, any
occurrence of variable load leads to balancing
problem.

10. ROLLER MECHANISM
Generation of electricity is possible using road
track, as vehicles pass over roller mechanism set
up electricity can be produced. For reduction of
carbon dioxide emission, renewable energies are
considered as proper alternative energy.

11. RACK-PINION MECHANISM
 Rack-Pinion assembly gives good mounting convenience.
 Connection of rack with speed-breaker and pinion.
Sprocket arrangement.
 Power transmission from sprocket to shaft of dc generator
through gear assembly.

12. ELEMENTS USED IN RACK- PINION
MECHANISM
Various machine elements used in construction:
1. Rack and Pinion
2. Sprockets
3. Gears
4. Flywheel
5. Shaft
6. Electric dynamo

13. PRACTICAL ANALYSIS

14. ADVANTAGES
1. Pollution free power generation.
2. Low installation and maintenance cost.
3. No manual work is required during the process.
4. No fuel transportation.
5. Less floor area.
6. Energy available all the year.

15. DISADVANTAGES
1. It gets rusted during rainy season.
2. May not work with light vehicle.
3. Less electricity production.
4. We have to check mechanism from time to time.

16. APPLICATIONS
1. Local power generation.
2. Local display board.
3. Street lightening.
4. Charging batteries and using them to light up the
streets tec.

17. CONCLUSION
A Survey on the energy consumption in India had
published a pathetic report the 85,000 villages in
India do not still have electricity.
Supply of power is most of the country is poor.
 Hence more research and development of
technologies are needed in this field.
This energy can be used for the lights on the either
sides of the roads and thus power that is consumed
by these lights can be utilized to send power to
these villages.
