IntroductionIntroduction

A large amount of electrical energy is wasted A large amount of electrical energy is wasted in speed breaker through friction, every time in speed breaker through friction, every time when vehicle passes over it.when vehicle passes over it.

So electricity can be generate using vehicle So electricity can be generate using vehicle weight (potential energy) as an input.weight (potential energy) as an input.

So this small step to improve this situation.So this small step to improve this situation.

WORKING OF RACK AND WORKING OF RACK AND PINIONPINION

The Rack and Pinion convert between rotary and The Rack and Pinion convert between rotary and linear motion. Rack and pinion can convert from linear motion. Rack and pinion can convert from rotary to linear and also from linear to rotary.rotary to linear and also from linear to rotary.

The diameter of the gear determines the speed that The diameter of the gear determines the speed that rack moves as the pinion turns.rack moves as the pinion turns.

Rack and pinion are commonly used in steering Rack and pinion are commonly used in steering systems of cars to convert the rotary motion of the systems of cars to convert the rotary motion of the steering wheel to the side to side motion in the steering wheel to the side to side motion in the whiles.whiles.
