An Electricity generation system using moving
objects The Speed bump electricity generator
Field of invention
This invention generally relates to electricity generation using a moving object (Cars, Vehicles, Human being). The device uses the Object's weight to depress a lever, which would provide the required rotational energy to drive the generator.
Background of the invention
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change form.
Any moving objects use energy for motion, may it be cars running or humans walking. A part of this energy along with gravitational force and springy action of material combined can be used to generate electricity.
This is a renewable form of electricity therefore it would be environment friendly and not produce any greenhouse gasses nor cause global warming. This generation of electricity would not cease production till the time humans and vehicles move.
Whenever a car passes over a speed bump the speed bump would sink in the ground and move a set of gears. This is where the generator gets its rotational force from. As soon as the vehicle moves away from the speed bump, it springs back to its position and immediately is ready for the next set of wheels to depress it.
In the case of humans we can have a step on for people while going in or out of a location (Shopping malls, office buildings, etc.). When people walk on this step, the step is depressed generating electricity.
This generated electricity can be fed to grid to distribute power or stored with help of batteries for later use. The movement of people and vehicles would happen more during business hours when the need of

electricity is also at its peak, unlike wind energy which may generate electricity round the clock but which cannot reliably generate electricity during peak requirements. The cost of electricity generation using this technique would also be very competitive to Wind power.
These generation units need to be placed outdoors for vehicles and can be indoor or outdoor for human steps. Due to the sheer weight of vehicles as compared to humans the electricity generation of vehicle units would be substantially higher.
The invention is fairly simple in design. The material required to make these units would need to stand the corrosion caused by natural elements like cold, heat, water etc. since this unit would be exposed to these elements. The unit's wear and tear due to natural elements would require maintenance equivalent to that of a wind turbine.
Brief description of the drawing
Fig. 1 shows the side view of the system.
Fig 2 shows the front view of the system.

Summary of the invention
The device consists of a Rack and Pinion gear (1), gear box (2) and a generator (4). These 3 devices are a must to run this set of machinery. The springs (6) and the Step / speed bump (3) can be designed in whichever manner to suit the requirement of applying force.
The speed bump is a single solid / semi-solid unit supported in place by springs which would be strong enough to withstand the weight without any additional support. This speed bump is placed on a road where a vehicle can pass over it at low speeds. The moving vehicle pushes the speed bump down by the weight of the car. The downward movement of the speed bump puts the rack and pinion gear in action and the pinion would rotate. The rotation of pinion would in turn rotate the gears of the gear box. The output from the gearbox would need to be about 30 rotations against 1 rotation of pinion.
The output of the gearbox is connected to a shaft (5) using any means (gear, direct, coupling, etc.). This shaft is connected to the generator which would generate electricity.
This entire system can be used as one speed bump or step connected to a generator or series of speed bumps connected to a common shaft and a common generator. Every time one of the speed bumps is depressed it would turn the shaft that is connected to the generator. The advantage of this system would be that the shaft rotates almost continuously.
The depressed speed bump would be back into the original position using the springs attached to the speed bump.

Claims

I claim that
1. The Speed bump electricity generator generates electricity using weight of an object 1 (Car, humans, etc.) that passes over / steps on another object 2 (Speed bumps, steps, etc.) which is suppressed by the weight of the passing object and is moved back to the original position using any methods like spring, hydraulics etc. The movement of object 1 would be using its own energy or some other force creating motion. The suppression of object 2 turns a set of gears using multiple possible methods (Rack and Pinion, Worm, lever, etc.). This turning of gears would rotate the shaft connected to the generator, thus generating electricity.
2. The unit described in claim 1 would generate electricity every time the object 1 as suggested in claim 1 is suppressed and springs back to original position.
3. This is a renewable form of energy as the unit on its own does not use any form of fossil fuel for electricity generation. It uses the energy derived from fuels by other objects e.g. fuel for cars or trucks and food by humans.
4. Multiple speed bump generator of the claim 1 can be coupled to each other for electricity generation with help of a single shaft and single generator too.
5. Multiple speed bump generators of the claim 1 can also be used as individual devices in a single location with multiple generators and the electrical output can be utilized.
6. The speed bump of claim 1 can be replaced with a step for humans to step onto. The step would work on the same idea where humans would be object 2 as suggested in Claim 1.
7. The idea of claim 1 can be applied in multiple situations with variable shapes for the object 2 and variable moving objects (Object 1) based on need to give the same output.
