Electricity Generation from Speed Breakers Using a Roller Mechanism is an innovative renewable energy project that converts the mechanical energy produced by moving vehicles into electrical energy. As vehicles pass over the speed breaker, the vertical force exerted on the breaker causes a roller mechanism to rotate. This rotational motion is transmitted through a gear drive, which increases the rotational speed and drives a DC dynamo to generate electrical energy. The generated DC power is regulated using a charging circuit and stored in a rechargeable battery for later use. The stored energy can be utilized to power high-power LED street lights, traffic signals, or other low-power electrical loads, especially in areas with heavy traffic. A switch is provided to control the power supplied from the battery to the connected load. This system provides an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable method of energy harvesting by utilizing the otherwise wasted kinetic energy of moving vehicles. The proposed model is suitable for installation at highways, toll plazas, parking areas, educational institutions, and other locations with continuous vehicle movement. It contributes to energy conservation while reducing dependence on conventional power sources, making it a promising solution for smart city and green energy applications.
