Abstract

In the present position, energies are the basic need for human life and a must needed factor for the country’s economic development. Currently, for today’s world, we bank on conventional sources for the maximum energy required. But the population is increasing day by day and also the requirement for energy is also growing exponentially, so there is a need for alternate sources from which energy can be tapped economically and eco-friendly. The new source of energy is created by the conversion of one form of energy into other. Number of vehicles is increasing day by day and a large amount of energy is being wasted at the speed breakers in the form of kinetic energy, in the present work we are making an attempt to fabricate a ramp, which can utilise the kinetic energy of the vehicle in power generation This paper prominence the idea to use kinetic energy of vehicle when it is moving over the speed breaker. This kinetic energy can be converted into mechanical energy which is utilized to produce power by using specially designed mechanical structure naming “RECIPROCATING RAMP”. In this paper, it is clearly explained the working principle of the “RECIPROCATING RAMP”, its practical implementation, testing of the structure, and results obtained for different vehicle loads. A geometrical model of the system has been modeled using Creo parametric. Determining the different factors that determine the power generation, graphs have been plotted for various inputs. Electricity generated is stored in the battery. Electricity stored in the battery is used to run various electrical appliances
