Automatic Street Light Controller with Road Power Generation

Description

The automotive industry in India is one of the largest in the world and one of the fastest-growing globally. India's passenger car and commercial vehicle manufacturing industry is the seventh-largest in the world, with an annual production of more than 3.7 million units in 2010. Every day mesh up with these vehicles give us a headache. But this mesh-up could be the answer to a new type of power generation.

ROAD POWER GENERATION {RGP} this is one of the most recent power generation concepts. This device is engineered as a practical and useful alternative energy technology for generating clean electricity from the millions of vehicles on our roadways. Once fully optimized and installed, engineers anticipate that devices may be used to augment or replace conventional electrical supplies for powering roadway signs, street and building lights, storage systems for back-up and emergency power, and other electronics, appliances, and even devices used in homes and businesses.

This device converts the kinetic energy of the vehicles into electric energy. This is done by moving plate installed on the road, this plate takes the stroke motion of the vehicles and convert it to the rotary motion by crank mechanism and it generates the electricity.
