Speed Breaker

This document discusses generating electricity from speed breakers. It explains that when a vehicle goes over a speed breaker, it gains potential energy due to the increased height. This potential energy is currently wasted. The proposed system would convert this potential energy into kinetic energy using a lever mechanism connected to a ratchet wheel and geared shaft. The geared shaft would be loaded with recoil springs and coupled to a dynamo to convert the kinetic energy into electricity. It estimates that a vehicle weighing 1,000 kg going over a 10 cm speed breaker could generate approximately 0.98 kilowatts of power. With 100 vehicles passing per minute on a busy highway, about 1 kilowatt of electricity could be produced every minute.
