Analysis of Power Generating Speed Breaker Based on Modified Slider Crank Mechanism

Abstract

The project focuses on producing energy through non-conventional sources. Ever increasing energy
demand may not be satisfied by fossil fuels or other conventional energy sources in coming future. Also
burning fossil fuel to extract energy for various uses is a major concern in today’s scenario as it is
polluting our environment .This project aims to extract energy from vehicles through the speed breaker
without polluting the surrounding. A lot of benefits are mentioned like uses of renewable resources, ecofriendly. But what make this project interesting and unique is the use of piezoelectric discs which acts as
transducers and convert force into electrical energy. At last it also discusses the parameters and
calculations necessary for making this project and working model.
