Abstract

One of the many issues faced in the modern world is the lack of clean, green, and renewable energy sources. Therefore, to address the issue of sustainability, a new system design was proposed, designed, and fabricated. In this work, a novelmechanical design was proposed, namely Wave Propagator and Turbine that produces and harvests the energy accordingly. Practically, the energy generated by the speed hump energized a battery that powered a linear actuator. The energy generated from speed humps was converted and boosted to a certain degree, which was preferably at a 150% rate in the form of wave energy. Although the losses were significant, it could be noticed that the proposed system could meet the major objectives of this study by boosting the generated energy by up to 130%, and it had an outstanding range in boosting the power over a period of time. This was attained after it was translated by using wave motion that was indefinite in magnitude and direction as per the speed hump that moves linearly. In terms of assessing the feasibility of this paper, multiple components were adopted, and each had its own unilateral breaking point. CAD software was used to produce a 3D model, and CFD software was also used to figure out the generated waves’ property to get a generalization of the working mechanics. The design was then put under different operating conditions to test its breaking point and to gather its factor of safety.
