The speed bump power generator is made up of mild steel. The complete set up is fixed in this model speed bump. The two L-shapes frames are fixed in the above two ends of the track. Bellow the L-shapes window, the actual power generation arrangement is constructed. This L- shapes window pushes the rack when the time of train wheel moving on these arrangements. Basically, the machine to be constructed is an electromagnetic energy machine when the machine uses the magnetic field in generation of alternating current. The purpose of this device is basically a new concept that involves generation of non-conventional energy. The purpose of the machine is to convert the reciprocation motion to rotary motion. The machine is put under the speed breaker while installing various units. Secondly, the head of the rack is then brought up on the level that is just beneath the surface of the speed breaker. During the movement of the track on the speed breaker, the rack is usually pushed downwards. To facilitate working of the machine, the rack is attached to a free wheel type pinion which rotates in only one direction. The pinion and the rack are arranged in such a way that the arrangement will convert the reciprocation motion to rotary motion. A generator and a motor are basically important. The important thing is the amount of power that the machine produces at a unit time. During the production of electricity, there is something that makes the shaft and the armature to rotate. The power generator usually produces an alternating current. In order to convert the power to dc, the power which is generated is passed through a four-bridge rectifier which rectify the ac current to direct current and discharges the smooth capacitor and the and flow to the output.

The top plate has a curved cap that needs to be angled. The rod supports will help the shafts to return to the position after every stroke. The L-brackets

are designed to be angled 90 degrees to hold the device together. In addition, the manufacturing of the cap is a challenge because of the curve that the cap of the top plate has. The method that was used is to find a material that has already bent and bend this material into a way that is going to give cars the smooth to pass the speed bump.

One of the manufacturing issues is the misalignment of the holes in the process of

drilling and the misalignment in the welding process. The solution is to use a machine that has X

and Y coordinates and perfectly locate the holes before drilling. In addition, to avoid the

misalignment in welding process, the team should use the X and Y coordinates machine to mark

the places that are going to welded.
