Design and Construction of Dome Shaped Mechanical Speed Breaker Electricity Generator

Abstract: Vehicles such as cars and trucks use a lot of energy because of friction when they pass over speed limiters. Nonetheless, it is possible to transform this energy into electrical power. Innovative techniques for utilizing renewable energy have been developed in response to the pressing need for sustainable energy solutions. As a novel method of producing electricity from vehicle motion, this project explores the design and construction of a mechanical speed breaker in the shape of a dome. In four distinct load scenarios—5 kg, 7.5 kg, 10 kg, and 15 kg—we contrasted the experimental findings with theoretical projections. When a 15 kg weight was applied, the maximum power produced was 0.335W. We have included a chain sprocket for effective energy transfer in order to enable power generation with lighter vehicles going over the speed breaker.
