Abstract: In order to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional fuels it is the need of time to completely or partially generate electricity with natural resources in and around our surroundings where we live. But complete replacement is not possible, but to enhance energy production we need to innovative which can partially help generate electricity using vehicle & slope road for implementing the project. We are using Vehicle on sloping road to rotate the alternator connected to it and produce electricity. Production cost is very less (Less Quantity of fuel + maintenance cost) it is also safe to use. Another advantage is that it can be run by less modification at the available infrastructure / Facilities at site.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
During last Six months we had been working on Design and Fabrication of Model for Power Generation using Vehicle on sloping road and its implementation. It gives me an immense pleasure to present the project Report here. It has been quite an experience, facing number of problems at stages and coming up with the appropriate solution at times with discussion among us or suggestions from friends and teachers.
We are grateful to Jaki Mirya Mitra Mandal and Group Grampanchayat Mirya for
extending help and support in implementing the project.
Last but not the least we would like to thank all our friends and those who have directly or indirectly been associated with the project.

Introduction
Need of electricity by using Little amount of fuel, vehicle & sloping road, drive alternator The sources generating electricity are limited and there will more energy crisis in the near future. The generation of energy requires huge infrastructure which cost at a lot and many people living around the selected site for power plant are affected and required to be rehabilitated. Also production cost of energy if fuel, nuclear fuel is high with impact on the nature as well, also plant release the harmful gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide which finally leads to global warming and combustion products leads to pollutants which cause acid rain and soil pollution .Fear of radiation as we saw in Japan due to nuclear power plant.
The cost of fuel products are high and hence are unaffordable to most of the people in the developing countries like India. When we think of alternative and clear fuel source then these sources are lagging behind in the technical aspects..
A vehicle (Loaded water tanker) is connected by rope which is wound on rope drum .The Drum shaft is connected with Gear box & gearbox is coupled directly to Alternator .When Vehicle is made neutfal on sloping road, vehicle by Gravity force {kinetic Energy} gets accelerated & rope drum rotates & with the help of Gear box {Mechanical Energy}Alternator rotates in turn Electricity is Produced{Electrical Energy}. Little amount of fuel is required for vehicle to get back her on his previous position for Recycle.
1.2 Objective of present work
1) Finding out the eco-friendly alternative for electricity production using small amount of
electricity and to help the preserve liquid energy which is a shortage and people feeling daily
loading shading in our area.
2) Reduce pollution by reducing the use of hydrocarbon and nuclear fuels.
3) Design of setup for such an alternative energy production which will be available in minimum cost.
4) Installation of the setup on the site with minimum possible infra required.
1.3 Report Organization
In the chapter 1 need of the alternative energy generator objectives of the present work are discussed. In chapter 2 literature survey is discussed in detail. Fabrication, assembly and installation of the Generator are described in chapter_3. Results and analysis are discussed in chapter 4. In chapter 5, conclusions from results are listed and future scope of project is discussed.
Chapter 2 Literature Survey
Hydrocarbon fuelled engines produce carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and water vapour (H20) as by-products of the combustion process. Carbon monoxide (CO) is poisonous to humans at certain concentrations and is considered a major contributor of environmental pollution. Also NO POLLUTION even if heavily polluted area of the world. There is growing public concern about global warming. In this project a gear box is designed to get the required RPMs are increased to get the required speed to the alternator rotation which generates electricity,

Chapter 03
3.1 How project came into Existence
I had work in Bharati Shipyard Ltd. Ratnagiri, during working I always come across power failure and Load shedding so the company had power generator driven by huge diesel engine.
I started thinking that huge amount of diesel was required to run the generators so we should think of alternative and cheaper source to drive the generator. Considering the labour cost and scrap material available in shipyard I think that electricity generation using available manpower .Thus I started working on the project and started preparing for it.
3.2 Description of Project
Second hand alternator of 5000 watt was purchased and fabricated Gear boxes from scrap plates from the shipyard. I design two gears one big one small which can be connected to the Chain Pulley with chain and a small gear connecting it so that it can drive the coupled alternator from one side of alternator.
First I got a big gear of 127 teeth machined and 14 teeth for small gear.
Assembly of the gear box and alternator was done on a MS frame and the assembly was located near house.
Testing and trials are underway using a multimeter and 5000 watt alternator . The Trails of Model has been taken,
.3 Future plans and development of the project
Since our trail was underway using a 5000 Watts alternator which was driven using loaded tanker on sloping road to drive the alternator and produce electricity and rotate rope drum and turn the second alternator and produce electricity, For Generation of Huge Quantity of Power we had plan to use bigger alternator (proportionate) and produce more electricity and also try to use it at gram panchayat or nagar parishad levels throughout the district.

4.1 Procedure for load test
1. Arrange the vehicle on sloping road accordingly perpendicular to Chain Pulley.
2. Connectthe 9 bulbs to the output cable of the generator.
3. Measure the speed (rpm) with the help of tachometer.
4. Measure the power by multimeter.
4.2 Future Plans
Since our trial in the project hope to succeed and in future we can generat large amount of electricity using vehicle accordingly.
Chapter 05
Conclusions and Future scope and advantages.
5.0 Conclusions based on the comparison of project cost and running cost of generation Optimization
1. The maximum current and thus the generation rate and capacity of production can be increased slowly.
2. No temperature rise or no pollution.
5.1 Future Scope
The project is under research work and hence we need modification / improvement in the infra structure, it can be improved more by improving the gear train for easy drive of the alternator and also to increase the size of alternator.
Considering its benefits and the need of hour, it can be assumed that this unit will be mounted on each and every possible position wherever possible reducing pollution, running cost. Unemployment in our country is high this will also generate some employment to unskilled labours.
As we are testing on 5000 watt alternator and got the improvement. When we will be tested on bigger alternator would give drastic improvement in the electricity production.
The principle of generation is to generate as you go basis and production cost is very less hence the usage is safe and hence likely to be accepted by everyone.
CLAIM FOR PATIENT RIGHT
I / We Mr. Vinayak Shankar Bandbe hereby Claim that "Model of Power Generator by using vehicle on sloping road" is
invented by me.
I have designed the above said Generator by using Alternator from the market. I have designed the gear box accordingly. And used chain pulley, for Guiding the chain which is connected directly to Gear Box, chain is connected to chain pully & Vehicle.
