With the advance in technology, electrical energy is widely consumed for human daily activities. However, the energy is mainly produced by the non-renewable energy such as fossil fuels and coal. The usage of the resources is limited and has lead to climate changes. Therefore, alternatives are being sourced to overcome the predicament and renewable energy has been listed as one of the major solution. Furthermore, energy can be conserved through different working mechanism and method to minimize energy lost to the surrounding. In conjunction with that, moving vehicles produce kinetic energy when moving which can be used as an input for energy conversion system to produce a beneficial output. The project is aimed to design an energy system to harvest green energy from moving vehicles. The major factor that influences the design of the entire system is to identify the suitable working mechanism for the project which is able to harvest the maximum energy from vehicles to obtain electrical energy. The output of the system is determined by the energy conversion and transmission. Besides, the reliability, stability and the durability of the overall design are also considered.
