ABSTRACT
The extensive usage of energy has resulted in an energy crisis, and there is a need to develop
methods of optimal utilization, which will not only ease the crisis but also preserve the
environment. In this paper the electricity is generated through the sliding mechanism. For
obtaining the electricity through the sliding mechanism a prototype model is developed and
studied. Findings from this research work are discussed in this project. This research work used a
permanent magnet D.C. generator thereby generating 12 Volt D.C. This D.C. voltage is stored to
the lead 12-volt battery. Electricity stored in battery is used to activate the light, fan etc. By
increasing the capacity of the battery power rating is increased.
This report presents the overall
concept of Road Power Generator (RPG) that deals with the mechanism to generate electricity
from the wasted kinetic energy of vehicles. It contains a flip-plate, gear mechanism, flywheel, and
finally a generator is coupled at the end so that the rotational motion of the flywheel is used to
rotate the shaft of the generator, thus producing electricity. RPG does not require any piezoelectric
material. It is novel concept based on flip-plate mechanism. The project can be installed at
highways where a huge number of vehicles pass daily, thus resulting in more amount of electricity
generated. This generated electricity can be utilized for different types of applications and mainly
for street lighting, on road battery charging units and many domestic applications like air
conditioning, lighting, heating, etc.
