  Dear all,
  in power crisis situation of many countrys like india ...how can we use any of silicon or kind of leaf spring which can have back and forth action under the road with continious vehicle passage and this can drive some kind of fly wheel which can drive a dynamo either to light up the street light or charge the batterys for same /////or may be some kind of silicon material can directly convert this load jerk to electrical power which can atleast charge the batteries for public sectors......is it possible or already some one doing it.....

  Boy! That IS some seriously crazy thinking! I think of a mechanism that would be similar to the old sewing machine [the one with peddle and wheels].
  
  Let's expand on this wonderful idea! 😀

  the more practical thing would be using some kind of piezioelectric material which directly convert
  stress energy into electric current
  in some countries like japan they use it too

  how about solar charged battery back up?

  I would go with Vinay's idea of using a piezoelectric materials that convert stress energy to electric energy.

  how will it b possible to keep a piezoelectric material on the road without gettin damaged

  I'm not too fond with piezoelectric stuff being used on roads, but we should still pursue trying to convert the kinetic energy of the vehicles if we really want to utilize them when they are passing by.
  
  Looking at other aspects such as sound or wind wont produce much output, especially if car manufacturers aim to reduce acoustical and drag their cars 😉

  cool idea but not for Indian roads where the municipality is use to to break road for BSNL or drainage.

  Discussions happen here aren't India specific.

  Well after all this the main question here is will this be economical ???
  i guess solar powered street lights have already occupied the market
