Design, Manufacturing of Electro Kinetic Energy Ramp

Abstract

The aim of the project is to develop a ramp which produces energy when it is compressed by weight. The mechanics of ramp are unique in the sense that it does not require a natural fuel to produce electricity; the Ramp just requires the flow of road traffic (vehicles). The major problem which we are faced with, is the movement of the vertical bar and adjustment of helical gear to produce sufficient output. The energy ramp also powers a camera which has been installed under the movable bar. On every push the camera takes a picture of desired focused object. All the design has been done using geometric similarity principle and modeling has been performed on Pro-Engineer Wildfire.
