In the world, energy consumption is increasing due to the increase in population. Our country ranks second after China in the increase in energy demand. In this direction, the aim of the study is to design and realize a prototype that generates DC electrical energy from the speed breaker using the rack gear system. The working principle of the system is as follows: The force originating from the weight of the vehicles passing over the platform is transferred to the springs, and this force enables the rack gear system to make a translational motion. The purpose of using springs in the system is to prevent the mechanism from being damaged in the long run. Another purpose is to prevent the parts in the mechanism from breaking by making sudden loads on the system of vehicles (trailer, truck, construction equipment, etc.) that can generate very high forces. The rack gear drives the spur gear mechanism and the translational motion turns into rotational motion. The gear is connected to the gearbox. As the gears rotate, the gear mechanism works, and the rotational speed of the shaft increases. The transmission ratio of the gearbox is 6. Finally, the output shaft is connected to the DC dynamo motor and the mechanical energy is converted into DC electrical energy. For example, 18-20 W power is obtained when a car passes the speed limiter, 28-30 W is obtained when a bus passes, and 55-60 W is obtained when a truck passes. The dynamo output voltage is 24 V. The DC energy produced is used in traffic lights, lighting systems, charging stations, etc. stored for use. As the system is widely used, the amount of energy produced will increase and contribute to Turkey's energy demand.
