ABSTRACT

The main aim of this project is to harvest energy

that could power a street lights and other
equipments in an economical way. We are
embedding the piezoelectric crystals in the
speed breaker system which on application of
force (i.e. due to the pressure applied) produces
electricity. When the wheel of the vehicle pass
over the speed breaker ,the mechanical stress
exerted by the vehicle on the crystal is converted
in to electrical energy using the piezoelectric
crystals can be coupled with circuits that could
enable storage of electricity in batteries.
Piezoelectric crystals are enabled to produce
electricity
 1.INTRODUCTION

power has become the major need for human Life. Energy
is an important input in all the sectors of any Countries
economy. The availability of regular conventional Fossil
fuels will be the main sources for power generation, but
There is a fear that they will get exhausted eventually by the
next Few decades. Therefore, we have to investigate other
types of Renewable sources .The day-to-day increasing
population and Decreasing conventional sources for power
generation, provides need to think on non-conventional
energy resources
Source is needed to reduce this problem. We proposed a
non-Conventional power generating system based on
speed breaker
Mechanism which generate electricity without using any
Commercial fossil fuels, which is not producing any
polluting Products .Energy which convert into electricity that
gone wasted, while Vehicles move , so as to produce the
electricity We are using piezoelectric effect. Which can be
embedded not only in the speed breaker concept but
(piezoelectric) it also use in footpath and staircase for
generations of power
 2.LITERATURE REVIEW

This projects attempts to show how energy can be tapped

and used at a commonly used system- the road speed
breakers.
The number of vehicles passing over the speed
breaker in roads is increasing day by day.
A large amount of energy is wasted at the speed breakers
through the
dissipation of heat and also through friction, every time a
vehicle passes over it. There is great possibility of tapping
9 energy and generating power by making the speed-
breaker as a power generation unit. The generated power
can be used for the lamps, near the speed breakers. The
utilization of energy is an indication of the growth of a
nation. For example, the per capita energy consumption in
USA is 9000 KWh (Kilo Watt hour) per year, whereas the
consumption in India is 1200 KWh (Kilo Watt hour). One
might conclude that to be materially rich and prosperous, a
human being needs to consume more and more energy. A
recent survey on the energy consumption in India had
published a pathetic report that 85,000 villages in India do
not still have electricity. Supply of power in most part of the
country is poor. Hence more research and development and
commercialization of technologies are needed in this field.
India, unlike the top developed countries has very poor
roads. Talking about a particular road itself includes a
number of speed breakers. By just placing a unit like the
“Power Generation Unit from Speed Breakers”, so much of
energy can be tapped. This energy can be used for the
lights
on the either sides of the roads and thus much power that
is consumed by these lights can be utilized to send power
tothese villages

 3.The Aim of the project

Aim :- The aim of the project is to produce free.

Electricity with no fuel cost, no pollution and with minimum
Requirement of space.

OBJECTIVE :- The generation of electricity using speed

breaker is one of The easiest way as now-a -days everyone
is having vehicle. It Can be widely accepted at individual
level because of its low Production cost also it doesn‘t need
any extra effort. the Piezoelectric crystal which will convert
the mechanical Pressure in electrical Energy

Description of the project

Power generation using piezo plate

Power generation means we are going to generate power using

piezo quartz using car weights that we can use in various
applications.
Following are the some theory of quartz
•Generating an electric charge in a material when subjecting it
to applied stress, and conversely, generating a mechanical
strain in response to an applied electrical field.
•Piezoelectricity is the electric charge that accumulates in
certain solid materials (such as crystals, certain ceramics, and
biological matter such as bone, DNA and various proteins) in
response to applied mechanical stress. The word
piezoelectricity means electricity resulting from pressure and
latent heat.

 4.Methodology

Generation of energy using speed breaker involves step by

Step procedure of energy conversion and involves
Electromechanical process. Mechanical linkage
Methodologies are used in the process along with
Piezoelectric crystals to produce desired electrical output.

1. Selecting Suitable Components

2. Assembling and Organizing Components

3. Testing and Monitoring

Initially the pressure of vehicles on speed breaker assembly

Provides a mechanical stress to the piezoelectric material
Which intern generates power
The output of piezo transducer is Ac voltage, so we we have to
convert AC voltage to DC voltage
This can be done by using AC to DC convertor, So we can store
the output in batteries.
 5.CHARGING CIRCUIT
Charging circuit is to charge the battery

Full wave bridge rectifier

Rectifier circuit is used to convert the alternating output
of piezo transducer to DC
Converters are electrical circuits that transform
alternating current (AC) input into direct current (DC)
output. They are used in power electronic applications
where the power input a 50 Hz or 60 Hz sine-wave AC
voltage that requires power conversion for a DC
output.AC to DC converters use rectifiers to turn AC input
into DC output, regulators to adjust the voltage level, and
reservoir capacitors to smooth the pulsating DC
