INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTIONThe current situation of power shortage in the
world is nothing but grim. So, this is our small step to try to improve this
situation by our project.In India alone ,there are more than 60 million
vehicles on the roads everyday.The project makes use of pressure energy of the
vehicle passing over the speed breaker and converts it into electrical energy with the help of various gears and spring systems .
Making use of the mechanism we can install it on
highways primarily at Toll-Gates and other various places.
Other places where the project can be used includes parking lots, malls etc. Alternately this can also be used as a security system for vehicle parking , where the alarm can be connected to the output so that when the vehicle passes over the speed breaker , an alarm circuit can be triggered.
• Onboard Application: It can be fitted onto the entry gate of a Roll-On & Roll-Off ship where on an average, around 2000 vehicles enter & exit & each vehicle having at least two wheels, therefore on an average the speed breaker can be pressed around 4000 times at a given loading/unloading time. The energy so produced, can be stored in a large capacity battery and can be used to operate the Gate of the Ro-Ro ship, or some local lighting provision can be made available.
OBJECTIVES• To develop clean & green source of electricity.
• To tap the potentially useful potential energy from vehicles plying on the roads.
• To make an alternative for developing a unique & cheap method of producing energy.
ESTIMATED OBJECTIVES
Estimated Objective
On completion of the project• We will be able to generate enough power that can light
up a L.E.D. lamp when a single vehicle passes over the speed breaker.
• This energy may alternately be tapped and stored in a battery or a capacitor-bank , which can then be used whenever required.
• Specific options on power usage include using in Vehicle-counters entering the campus , In Rooms illuminated by L.E.D.s or in RFID Sensors on vehicles.

System OVERVIEW & dESIGN
• The system makes use of the general speed breaker arrangement with the modification that the speed breaker itself travels in a vertical axis & having a Spring under it to push it back to its original position.

• When the TOP PLATE goes down due to the weight of the vehicle,the RACK that is welded to the TOP PLATE travels in a vertical direction downwards and rotates the gears that are meshed with it & hence giving the rotation to the gear mounted on the motor,thereby rotating the rotor of the motor & generating electric power.

We have used two number of plates for forming the top and base of our speed breaker
BOTTOM PLATE
TOP PLATE
The plates are made up of MILD STEEL. The dimensions of which are given as follows:
TOP PLATE : 80*46 cms THICKNESS : 1cm
BOTTOM PLATE : 100*50 cms THICKNESS : 1cm
After we furnished the whole setup, we decided that the travel of the top plate would be 8 cm. Due to this we stumbled upon the problem of bumping of the vehicle onto the ramp when it passes over the speed breaker, due to which, the vehicle may disbalance. The representation of which is as given below.
The vehicle may bump dangerously at this point
Therefore we devised a solution for it. With the help of flexible plate of MILD STEEL, we can successfully negate the above problem of bumping. The plate will be placed under the exposed surface of speed breaker i.e. under the rubber mat that we are using in our case. The flexible plate will extend onto both the ramps where it will be bolted for fixing them and also there will be slots cut around the hole for the bolt so that there will be a slight movement for the plate when it deforms under the load of the vehicle.
We have used two number of Helical Springs which are placed in between the top and base plate. These spring will actually bear the load of the vehicle and will compress when the vehicle will pass over the top plate & then return to its original position when the vehicle passes.
The Dimensions of the spring are as follows:• MATERIAL OF SPRING: Spring Steel• FREE LENGTH: 37.5cm• OUTER DIAMETER: 10cm• THICKNESS OF EACH COIL (d):
10mm• NUMBER OF ACTIVE COILS: 6
RACK CALCULATIONS:
Assumptions: Module = 2mmNumber of Teeth = Compression length / (module*3.14) = 80/(2*3.14) =12.74 or 13 Length of rack = Number of teeth * module * 3.14 = (13*2*3.14) = 82mm =82+20+20=122mmWidth of rack = 20 mm GEAR CALCULATIONS: (Trial & Error Method)For 1st Pinion m ≥ 1.26
Where:m= ModuleT= Torque on tooth (F.O.S. =1.3)Y=Form Factor=0.36σ= Design Bending Stress=120 N/Ψ=Face Width / Module =10Z=Number of teeth=16 (Assumed)
So, torque on tooth= 120 9.81 16 Nmm =18835.2 Nmm It is assumed that the load is of 120 Kg on the rack.
Now, m= 1.26 =1.92Hence it is safe to operate at m < 2.So,Number of teeth= 16Module (m)=2Face Width()=20mmP.C.D. =32mm Now,Formula Used= Speed of driver () = Number of teeth on driven() Speed of driven () Number of teeth on driver ()
1st Reduction of Speed:So,RPM= 1164.6 16 = 310.56 R.P.M. 60 (Assumed)Then, 1st gear Specifications:Number of teeth= 60 (Assumed)Module (m)=2Face Width()=20mmP.C.D.=120mmAlso , m= 1.26 =1.24It is safe to operate as m<2
For 2nd Pinion m= 1.26 =1.68It is safe to operate as m<2 So, Number of teeth=12 (Assumed)
Module (m)=2Face Width()=20mmP.C.D.=120mm
For 2nd Reduction of speedSo,RPM= 310.56 12 = 53.27 R.P.M. 70(Assumed)Then, 2nd gear Specifications:Number of teeth= 70 (Assumed)Module (m)=2Face Width()=20mmP.C.D.=140mmAlso , m= 1.26 =1.17It is safe to operate as m<2.

Deep groove (Conrad) bearing
Primarily designed to support radial loads, the thrust capacity is about 70% of radial load capacity.
Load capacity is limited by the number of balls.
Ball Bearings
Bearings• Rolling Contact Bearings – load is transferred
through rolling elements such as balls, straight and tapered cylinders and spherical rollers.
• Journal (sleeve) Bearings – load is transferred through a thin film of lubricant (oil).
BearingsRolling Contact Bearings-Load is
transferred through elements in rolling contact rather than sliding contact.

Bearings are selected from catalogs, before referring to catalogs you should know the following:
Single -Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing
Typical ball bearing. Handles light axial loads as well as radial loads .
We have used 4 in number of bearings in our project. The bearings are fixed in a square pipe. Each bearing is bolted onto a single pipe, the dimensions of which are as given below:
• Length of each pipe = 19.5cm• Width = 3.5cm (of each side of square)
The Dimensions of the Bearings are as follows:• Outer Diameter = 40cm• Bore = 16cm
Also we have used guides for bearings,the dimensions of which are as follows:• Length = 26cm• Width = 5cm• Inner Width = 4.5cm• Thickness = 0.025cm
INVERTED VIEW OF SQUARE PIPE WITH BEARING BOLTED
We have used a Synchronous Motor to generate electric power. The Specifications of which are as follows:
SINGLE-PHASE SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR (REVERSIBLE)R.P.M. = 60Voltage = 240 VoltsFrequency = 50 HzTorque = 26 Kgcm
TESTING & TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS:• SELECTING SUITABLE MOTOR• SELECTION OF SPRINGS• ACHIEVING PROPER BALANCE OF SPRING AND TORQUE• PRESS FITTING OF BEARINGS INTO THE PLATEPROBLEM 1: LOAD TESTING OF SPRINGS-one of the basic principle of the spring is to withstand a force while having the ability to compress or extend and then to return to its original position.SOLUTION: We carried out the load testing of different springs ,to see whether the springs can withstand the load of the vehicle.It was carried out in a very simple manner(trial and error) -the springs were aligned between two plates , different weights were applied on the springs and the compression were noted down the weights varied from 60 kgs to 180 kgs and was tabulated and compared with our decided travel, after testing 2 springs we came up with the springs that was suitable for the load variation between 60 -200 kgs.
PROBLEM 2: When we assembled the gears and coupled the motor to the gears, we noticed that the torque produced was not enough to drive the motor to the extent at which it generated electricity.SOLUTION: When we removed all but one gear and meshed the gear that drove the motor, with the rack we could get the desired output instantly.
PROBLEM 3: When we were press fitting the bearing onto the plate, due to mechanical error, the diameter of the hole in the plate was made more than that of the outer diameter of the bearing, making it loose.SOULTION: We welded along the internal diameter of the hole in the plate & the again machined the hole carefully on the lathe machine.
CONCLUSION
The existing source of energy such as coal ,oil etc. may not be adequate to meet the ever increasing energy demands. these conventional sources of energy are also depleting and may be exhausted.This project is one step to path of exploring the possibilities of energy from several non-conventional energy sources, this is a type of vibration harvesting .This uses waste energy of vehicles and converts kinetic energy to electrical energy.future work can consist of re-designing of this model to see exactly how much data we may be missing with the project we came up with low price, weight and capacity.
