Abstract:
The most basic requirement for all living things in the cosmos to survive is energy. In our
rapidly changing world, where traditional energy sources are running out and population is
growing daily, everything that occurs in the immediate vicinity is a manifestation of energy
flow in one of its forms. In a few years, the energy crisis was brought on by the over usage
of energy. As a result, in order to solve this issue, we must use methods for making the
best use of conventional sources of energy saving. Due to its sustainability, renewability, and
accessibility, renewable energy sources are becoming more and more popular these days. The
world over, using the kinetic energy of cars going over speed bumps is one of the most cost
effective and environmentally beneficial ways to generate electricity. Pollution-free energy
recovery system design has grown in importance among researchers. Speed Bump Power
Generator (SBPG) is one of several proposed systems that uses traffic movements on streets,
boulevards, and highways to generate electricity. An SBPG system translates vertically as
a vehicle passes over it. As a result, kinetic energy is created and converted into electrical
power. Various SBPG system types are covered in this study. The rack-and-pinion system is
the subject of an experimental examination. The results indicate that when an 20 kg mass is
added to the SBPG system under consideration, electrical power up to 0.014 W is created. The
results’ extrapolation indicates that different cars with varying masses can generate powers
of about 106.033 kW as they go over the bumps. This feat may be utilized to charge the
accumulator, which can power the traffic lights. The generator runs for 1.01 hours to charge
the accumulator’s 6 Ah capacity.
