Regenerative speed bump
A regenerative speed bump includes a flat base portion and a sloped cover portion which together form a cavity to house a regenerative energy mechanism therein. The sloped cover portion is flexible and configured to deflect downward upon application of force. The regenerative energy mechanism includes a main gear having an axis of rotation and an inner ring of ratchets, a plunger positioned along the axis of rotation and rotates the main gear by motion thereof along the axis of rotation, and a pawl configured to allow the inner ring of ratchets and the main gear to rotate in only one direction. The plunger is mechanically connected to the sloped cover portion such that the plunger moves down along the axis of rotation when the sloped cover portion deflects downward.
