INTRODUCTION

Man has needed and used energy at an increasing rate for his

sustenance and well being ever since he came on the earth a few

million years ago.

Primitive man required energy primarily in the form of food. He

derived this by eating plants or animals, which he hunted.

Subsequently he discovered fire and his energy needs increased as he

started to make use of wood and other bio mass to supply the energy

needs for cooking as well as for keeping himself warm

. With the passage of time, man started to cultivate land for agriculture. He

added a new dimension to the use of energy by domesticating and training

animals to work for him.

With further demand for energy, man began to use the wind for sailing ships

and for driving windmills, and the force of falling water to turn water for

sailing ships and for driving windmills, and the force of falling water to turn

water wheels.

Till this time, it would not be wrong to say that the sun was supplying all theenergy needs of man either directly or indirectly and that man was using

only renewable sources of energy.

In this project we are generating electrical power as non-conventional

method by simply running on the train in the railway track. Non-

conventional energy system is very essential at this time to our nation.

Non-conventional energy using railway track needs no fuel input

power to generate the output of the electrical power. This project using

simple drive mechanism such as rock and pinion assemble and chain drive

mechanism


6/17

For this project the conversion of the force energy in to electrical energy.

The control mechanism carries the rack & pinion, D.C generator, battery and

inverter control.

We have discussed the various applications and further extension also. So

this project is implemented to all railway track, the power generation is very

high. The initial cost of this arrangement is high.

ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION USING RAILWAY TRACK


9/17

WORKING PRINCIPLEThe complete diagram of the power generation using railway track is given

below. L-angle frame is inclined in certain small angle which is used to generate

the power. The pushing power is converted into electrical energy by proper driving

arrangement.

The rack & pinion, spring arrangement is fixed at the railway track which is

mounded bellow the L-angle frame. The spring is used to return the inclined L-

angle frame in same position by releasing the load.

The generator is used here, is permanent magnet D.C generator. The generated voltage is

12Volt D.C. This D.C voltage is stored to the Lead-acid 12 Volt battery. The battery is

connected to the inverter

This inverter is used to convert the 12 Volt D.C to the 230 Volt A.C. This 230 Volt A.C

voltage is used to activate the light, fan and etc. By increasing the capacity of battery and

inverter circuit, the power rating is increased. This arrangement is fitted in highways; the

complete arrangement is kept inside the floor level except the railway track arrangement.

DISADVANTAGES

Slight inclination is required in the railway track

Mechanical moving parts is high

Initial cost of this arrangement is high.

Care should be taken for batteries


13/17

APPLICATIONS

Power generation using railway track system can be used in

most of the places such as

All highways road speed breaker

Foot Step Arrangement

All Railway track


14/17

FUTURE SCOPE

This arrangement is slightly modified to construct in foot

step and this arrangement is fixed in

Railways

Highways

Many other

COST ESTIMATION:

we estimated our project cost : 18000/-


16/17

CONCLUSION:

Finally we concluded, In this project we are generating electrical

power as non-conventional method by simply running on the train

in the railway track. Non-conventional energy system is very

essential at this time to our nation
