Development of energy harvesting using speed breaker

Energy can neither be created or be destroyed and can only be transform from one form to another. Pressure is a kind of energy that is exerted almost all the time as force and can be either reused within the same process or transferred to another process. Force or when it converts into energy is called potential energy and free of charge energy. Thus, this energy can reduce the operating cost and can increase the output productivity. Pressure has large opportunities and stronger range of force recovery on the road. Therefore, this project utilizes force created from vehicle hump as an alternative and new renewable energy source. A model of road speed breaker which uses power hump technology is used as device to harness force created from applied pressure from the heavy vehicles hitting the speed breaker which act as the input. The speed breaker is used as it can function into two different uses such as for slowing of road vehicles and hence generating energy by harnessing applied force into electrical energy. The electrical energy produced can either be use to power up street lights or stored in a battery for emergency purposes.
