This project focuses on the design and fabrication of a timed speed breaker system that generates electricity using the motion of passing vehicles. When a vehicle moves over the speed breaker, the mechanism compresses and transfers motion to a flywheel connected to a generator. This converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, which can be used immediately or stored for later applications. The system offers an innovative and sustainable approach to harvesting energy from everyday vehicular movement.
The mechanism consists of a movable speed breaker linked to a flywheel and generator setup. As vehicles pass over the breaker, vertical displacement is transformed into rotational motion through a shaft mechanism. The flywheel ensures smooth and continuous rotation, maximizing energy output. Structural and mechanical components, including metal frames, sheet metal, shafts, and wiper motors, are modeled using 3D design software and fabricated for functional testing.
