| Summary: | The relentless and unchecked rise in global energy consumption necessitates
the development of innovative energy generation methods. Renewable energy offers a
promising solution, utilizing lost energy and addressing both environmental and
engineering concerns. As the number of registered cars on roads increases, traffic,
pollution, and energy usage surge, highlighting the need for sustainable alternatives. This
study aims to create and evaluate a power-generating speed bump, effectively capturing
the energy dissipated during vehicle braking on speed breakers. Employing an innovative
mechanism of rack and pinion, complemented by a compound gear train. The proposed
solution combines the strengths of existing designs while rectifying their drawbacks
through component integration. To ensure long-term reliability, the mechanism undergoes
ANSYS simulations. The direction of passing over the bump and the weight of the passing
load have been studied in this research. Each trial was repeated for 20 times, and the
average value was considered to ensure the reliability of results. A maximum and
minimum power generation of 35.6W and 23.4W have been obtained. |
