 INTRODUCTION
• In this project power will be generated by using road side
vehicle’s pressure. Piezoelectric load cell is placed next to
speed breaker of road. Each and every vehicle when cross the
sped breaker, pressure is obtained. This pressure is captured
by rectangular bellow setup as well as load cell, which is
converted into voltage according to the quantity of pressure
by connecting rod ratchet mechanism. Thus this produced
voltage is used for charging battery . And can be used to
power road side street lights.

It works on the principle of an Electro-Mechanical energy

conversion. This machine converts reciprocating motion
in to rotary motion. The rotational power is stored in
flywheel & flywheel rotates dynamo, which generates
electricity.

roads
Piezoelectric crystals can be embedded underneath the asphalt
layer to utilize the energy generated due to the vehicle motion. ,
Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) crystals are being used widely to
achieve a high piezoelectric effect.

 Piezoelectricity parameters
Geometry The most efficient form to produce
more energy is tapered shape

Thickness More energy is produced with

thinner material

Loading More energy is produced with

Mode increase in mass or force

Fixation Fixation at one end will result in

more deflection, thus more energy
when subjected to external force, LOAD
than when fixed at two ends

Structure Bimorph structures produce double

the energy output than amorphous
structure

 APPLICATION
• 1. Street Lights
• A Street light which is turned on or light at a certain time every
night. Modern lamps may also have light-sensitive photocells to
turn them on at dusk, off at dawn, or activate automatically in
dark weather.
• 2. Traffic Lights
• Traffic lights are signaling devices positioned at road
intersections, pedestrian crossings and other locations to control
competing flows of traffic
• 3. Toll Plaza
• At the toll plaza huge amount of electricity generated from speed
breaker by vehicles. This electricity is used for the lighting
purpose, signaling, and in various systems.
• 4. Housing area
• In housing area we can used for lighting, and low power
application like door bell, mobile charger etc. 5. School area
