Abstract

In this article, a device design is described to convert vibration energy exerted on a vehicle during motion on different road conditions. This is achieved by converting the vibrational energy to electrical energy by utilizing Faraday’s law. Selection of mounting point is done by using first principle modelling approach for a two-wheeler vehicle as a spring-mass-damper system. Finally, the device is tested at different speeds and road surface conditions. It is concluded that the voltage induced is directly dependent on frequency and amplitude of vibrations.
