Design And Fabrication Of Electricity Generation System Using Railway Tracks

Abstract

Forecasting of electricity demand has assumed a lot of importance to provide sustainable solutions to the electricity problems. In the present situation power is the basic need for human life. Energy is responsible for major developments of any country’s economy. Use of Conventional energy sources are polluting the environment and causes global warming. In this project we are generating electrical power as non-conventional method by simply running train on the railway track. This study aims to harvest the electrical energy from railway tracks. The power is produced by the semicircular section when the train moves over proposed track , the semicircular plate gets pushed down due to the train and causes the rotation of rack and pinion arrangement which produces the electricity using a dynamometer. The energy generated will be stored in the battery and also showing the output by glowing a 5V LED.
