Design and Development of an Electrical Power Generating Bridge using Wind Energy From Moving Vehicles

Electricity and energy are key issues today in Zambia as a developing country.The ultimate function and goal of any electric power supply company anywhere in the world today is to provide a service of supplying reliable and uninterrupted power supply to its consumers at all times.Although, for developing countries like Zambia, the amount of electric power generated is insufficient to meet the demands of the growing consumers of electricity, therefore power outages and instabilities are experienced This project attempts to explain an innovative method of generating clean wind energy from a fast moving vehicle by various courses.The energy generated from this method is produced as the consequences of human activity.Five methods used to produce energy are from renewable wind sources, solar, hydro, coal and nuclear energy.One of the biggest obstacles to the widespread use of wind power generation is that many areas just aren't that windy.The alternative form of Renewable wind energy produced by trucks is very unique, as it does not depend on any natural energy resource.A moving vehicle like trucks compresses the air in the front of it and pushes the air to its sides thereby creating a vacuum at its rear and its sides as it moves forward.To fill up this vacuum a mass of airflow rushes into the sides and the rear.The kinetic energy of the wind movement thus created pushes the wind turbines and generates electricity.This generated electricity can be further used for various applications
