Abstract

With the continuous advancement in technology and the exponential growth of power consumption in society, the need for diverse and sustainable sources of energy other than fossil has become increasingly evident. The fossil fuel sources are fast depleting and their combustion products are causing global environmental problems like the wild fire of Los Angeles. The world is thinking of alternative energy sources to generate power while reducing environmental pollution I.e non conventional energy resources that are Eco-friendly. Technologies like solar power generation have made significant strides in meeting the escalating energy demands. However, the ever-growing need necessitates an exploration of additional energy supplies that are not only efficient but also conservative in their utilization. Road power generation is an alternative technology which uses the pressure due to the weight of vehicles for generation of power. This study delves into the realm of alternative energy, by focusing on the concept of power generation using speed breakers.
