Power Generation Using Hydraulic and Double Crank Shaft Speed Breaker: Gaza Strip as a Case Study

摘要

Energy is a basic need for development of the modern world. For meeting up the regular demand of energy, a new system that will produce electricity without destroying the nature is needed. Generation of electricity using speed breakers, is one of the most green power generation concepts that the world turning to depend on. The device converts the wasted kinetic energy of vehicles to electrical energy with zero emissions of carbon or any other harmful gases. It's mainly depends on a mechanical system that converts the linear movement of the speed hump when the vehicle passed over into rotational which works as a starter for the generator to generate electricity. Most of the similar previous projects had a problem of efficiency, the amount of energy outcome were always limited to supply power for just a streetlight or an advertisement panel in street, on the other side the new one will be able to supply a big facility or lighting a highway. In this projects, increasing the efficiency is one of the critical points worked on. To avoid the huge amount of energy dissipated due to a mechanical parts friction, a hydraulic system have been replaced instead of the mechanical one. The new version of the speed breaker has developed after doing the results of the experiments of the old version. This project have been created basing on scientific method, started by the theoretical studies, design, analysis and simulation for each part in the system by CAD software reaching to get the theoretical results. The ongoing stage is to create the prototype and comparing the experimental results to theoretical one.
