Shock absorber dissipates the vibration energy which is converted into heat energy and this is waste energy. In this work attempt has been made to convert dissipated energy into electrical energy by employing transmission mechanism. The innovative design of the mechanical motion rectifier is proposed in this work, for improvement of energy harvesting efficiency. The mechanical motion rectifier having compact size is introduced and prototyped. The prototype converts linear vibratory motion into unidirectional motion of DC generator. Rack and pinion arrangement is used to generate power along with one way clutch bearing and bevel gear. This system replaces the damper in the shock absorber. The design based on the mechanical motion rectifier can also be used for other applications for energy harvesting.
