For Week 11, start to do the project proposal with chapter 1 to summit before
week 14.

INTRODUCTION
Energy is an important asset for
civilization and economical development .The world today are too depending on
the fossil fuels in order to use it to operate power plant, train and
automobile that will resulting to unfriendly environmental gas and created greenhouse
effect to the earth. Greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation
from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is
re-radiated in all directions. To reduce of carbon dioxide emission, the
renewable energy is considered as proper alternative energy. This is the main
reason renewable energy very is very important to the environment and
economical for civilization. Renewable energy is originally from natural
processes that are replenished constantly. There are various forms directly
from the sun, or from heat generated deep within the earth. In addition in
electricity and heat generated from solar, wind, ocean, hydropower, biomass,
geothermal resources, and bio fuels and hydrogen from renewable resources. As
known, energy can neither be created nor destroyed by itself only can be change
from one kind of energy to another. Since energy only can transform, so there
only need to transform energy from natural source into other energy.
Energy harvesting or also known as power
harvesting is the process by which energy is derived from external sources
solar power, thermal energy, wind energy, salinity gradients and kinetic energy
captured. Energy harvesters provide a very small amount of power enough for
low-energy device. While the energy source for energy harvesters is present as
ambient background and is free.
This electrical generator using kinetic
energy harvesting that captures from passing cars is method to generate
electricity for basic road utilities such as street lighting and sign road by
harnessing the waste of energy that produced by a vehicles on the traffic road. It converts kinetic energy into
electrical energy. The electricity is generated by electric generator when the
tyres of a vehicle roll over the ramp. The main rationale of this method is to
generate clean and environmentally friendly by harnessing the waste of energy
that are produced by vehicles on the traffic road
2.0 PROBLEM STATEMENT
Nowadays, the
consumption of fossil fuels without control had caused unfriendly environmental
gas and created greenhouse effect to the earth. In addition, the consumption
fossil of fuels every day will create the run out of oil source. The generating
electricity from renewable energy rather than fossil fuels offers significant
public health benefits and other than that might be non-renewable energy has
reached its peak already and will stay very expensive. This is a reason why renewable
energy very is very important. This project able to become new alternative
energy for creates clean energy and friendly environmental of electricity
This Electro Kinetic
Road Ramp is a green energy method is to generate electricity without
unfriendly environmental gas. In term of safety for the road user, some of the road
occurs street lights not working which dangerous to road users at night if
using this kind of road. This project is also able to reduce the cost for the
company of the electricity utility road like PLUS MALAYSIA BERHAD because able
to produce electricity on their own so there is no more cost of electricity to
be paid electric company Tenaga Nasional Berhad for basic road utility.
3.0 OBJECTIVE
There are two objectives in order to
develop the electro kinetic road ramp which are:
i.
To apply renewable energy by using
kinetic energy concept.
ii.
To obtain the desired result of output
voltage.
