Consumption of electricity is increasing day by day. Nowadays most of the electricity is generated by conventional fossil fuels, eventually, the conventional power sources will get depleted by the next few decades. This paper is about to use nonconventional energy source for power generation. Here we generate energy by air compression. All the setup is placed under speed bumper when vehicle passing from speed bumper it generates electricity. The main benefit of this method is here we use wasted energy for power generation. Keywords— Pneumatic, Generator, Electricity, Power and Capacity 1. INTRODUCTION In the present day scenario, power is the major need for day to day human life as well as every sector of the economy. The day-to-day increasing population and decreasing conventional sources for power generation provides a need to think on non- conventional energy resources. Roads and highways are the great media of transport in India. A 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 road surface through the dissipation of heat and also through friction, every time a vehicle passes over it. There is a great possibility of tapping this energy and generating power by making the desired part of the road as a power generation unit. The generated power can be stored and used to illuminate the lamps, near the speed breakers. Places such as Toll bridges, vehicle parking stands are best suitable for its utilization. In this project, we discover technology to produce electricity from road surfaces, where the system produced is trustworthy and will help in conserving our natural resources. The overall goal was to design the structural System while keeping the engineering in check. The methods to generate electricity through road is comprises of the structural bridge, a pneumatic circuit to transfer compressed air, and a power generation circuit usually comprises of DC generator for generation of power using this pressure energy of compressed air. 2. AIM AND OBJECTIVES (a) The aim of this project is to develop such a system that will effectively convert the road vehicle energy into electrical energy and shall be able to fulfil the energy demands of peoples. (b) The main objective behind this project is to the recovery of the wasted energy at the road surface and its conversion in electrical energy. (c) The objective of this project also focuses on reducing the use of non- renewable energy sources by implementing renewable energy source. 3. WORKING PRINCIPLE The project is concerned with the generation of electricity from speed breakers-like set up. When a vehicle runs on the road due to the weight of the vehicle; The Structure starts to move downward due to this the Bellows which are situated under the road compresses. From this compression of bellows, we get compressed air. This compressed air flow through hoses and store into the reservoir passing through a non-return valve and FRL unit. This compressed air is used also for Industrial purpose. This compressed air is then passed through a nozzle, which increases the kinetic energy of air hence, although enough speed due to the kinetic energy achieved at the nozzle, this speed is sufficient to rotate the rotor of a generator. The rotor which rotates within a static magnetic stator cuts the magnetic flux surrounding it, thus producing the Electric Motive Force (EMF). This generated EMF is then sent to a bridge rectifier, where the generated AC current is converted to DC. This regulated EMF is now sent to the lead-acid battery.
