Smart Playground for Electricity Generation Using Swing

The world's energy demand is rapidly increasing due to rise in population. Energy generation is mainly dependent on fossil fuels, nuclear energy and renewable energy resources. Therefore, there is a need for a cleaner method to generate electricity which can act as a substitute for the existing methods. This paper proposes an innovative method of generating electricity using play equipment like swings. The motion of the swing has been used in the present work to move the shaft back and forth which will drive the sprockets and transfer the momentum to the spur gear arrangement. This runs the dynamo and generates electricity, and it can then be stored in batteries or kinetic energy storing equipment and then used later. The proposed method minimizes environmental impact, reduces energy consumption and promotes sustainability.
