A hybrid energy system usually consists of two or more energy sources used together to provide increased system efficiency as well as greater balance in energy supply. “Conversion of potential energy to electrical energy” is the basic principle of our invention. A crank shaft mechanism is used to generate power when a vehicle moves up on a speed breaker. Piezoelectric and hydraulic system is used in addition to the above to build a hybrid system in production of electricity.

Abstract


A hybrid energy system usually consists of two or more energy sources used together to provide increased system efficiency as well as greater balance in energy supply. “Conversion of potential energy to electrical energy” is the basic principle of our invention. A crank shaft mechanism is used to generate power when a vehicle moves up on a speed breaker. Piezoelectric and hydraulic system is used in addition to the above to build a hybrid system in production of electricity.
