our grp is planning to make a project on generating energy through speed bumps by converting pressure into electrical energy
so as we got the result that it will need lots of mechanism and motoring work
can we use hydraulics of some technique
if there is any simplest way then pls reply(in hurry!)

if the energy gets absorbed by the shock absorbers some energy could be converted na

i thinging scientifically the energy can be amplified too using stored energy

but we want too know that how this can be done
which mechanism must be used for that........any mechanism or some thing

 

There's already a thread about this - it's a stupid idea, and everyone hated it.

The shock absorbers will dampen/absorb most of the energy from a speed bump,
do you plan to remove the shock absorbers from the vehicle.

I would suggest you redirect your energy into a more feasible project.

Also, the energy has to come from somewhere. In this case it comes from the vehicles. The vehicles get their energy from fuel. Someone has to pay for that fuel: the driver.

It's simpler just to tax the drivers directly.

I guess you could put the speed bumps at the bottom of a hill. Then some of the energy could come from gravity. The drivers might not appreciate it, though. They'd brake and waste the energy heating up their brake pads.
