Renewable Alternative Energy from Vehicle's Weight

The purpose of this study is to analyze the conversion of wasted kinetic energy of vehicles model motion into easily harvestable electricity with pneumatic system as a feeding mechanism to capture the kinetic energy that will be converted to electrical energy by using generator. The methodology is by supplying air pressure through the pneumatic feeding mechanism that will turn the turbine and in turn will drive the generator. The generator will then produce electricity. The study focuses on how to design and analyze a whole system for generating electricity that is appropriate with the system.
