    Energy ramp
    (UMT Lahore, 2011) Faisal Iqbal; Mohsin Sharif; Azeem Tahir
    In the present scenario, power has become a major need for human life. Due to the day-to-day increase in population and the reduction of conventional sources, it has become necessary to depend on non-conventional sources for power generation. While moving, vehicles possess some kinetic energy, which is usually wasted. This kinetic energy can be utilized to produce power by using a special arrangement called an “energy ramp.” The kinetic energy of moving vehicles can be converted into mechanical energy of the shaft through a rack and pinion mechanism. This shaft is connected to an electric dynamo, which produces electrical energy proportional to traffic density. All this mechanism can be housed under the ramp (a slope built to connect two places at different levels). The generated power can be used for general purposes such as streetlights and traffic signals. The electrical output can be improved by arranging energy ramps in series; this generated power can be amplified and stored using different electrical devices. The maintenance cost of the ramp is almost negligible. By adopting this arrangement, future power demands can be satisfied to some extent.

    Energy Ramp

    In the present scenario power becomes major need for human life. Due to Day-to-day increase in population and lessen of the conventional sources, it becomes Necessary that we must depend on non-conventional sources for power generation. While moving, the vehicles possess some kinetic energy and it is being wasted. This kinetic Energy can be utilized to produce power by using a special arrangement called “ENERGY RAMP”. The Kinetic energy of moving vehicles can be converted into mechanical Energy of the shaft through rack and pinion mechanism. This shaft is connected to the Electric dynamo and it produces electrical energy proportional to traffic density. .All this Mechanism can be housed under the Ramp (slope that has been built to connect two places that are at different levels). The generated power can be used for general purpose like streetlights, traffic Signals. The electrical output can be improved by arranging Energy Ramp in series this generated power can be amplified and stored by using different electric devices. The Maintenance cost of Ramp is almost nullified. By adopting this arrangement, we can satisfy the future demands to some extent.
