Description

Power Generation Through Railway Track

Introduction• In this project generating electrical power by

running train on the railway track• Non-conventional energy using railway track needs

no fuel input power to generate the output in the form of Electrical power

• Using Faraday's Law of Electromagnetism • The system carries train model, rail model, coils,

charge controller, battery and inverter control• Its so simple this project is implemented to all

railway track.

Working

• Train have magnet • At bottom of track 2 pairs of coils• Movement of train on track induces emf • Voltages at the end of coils• This is ac use rectifier to convert to dc by Rectifier• Store that dc voltages in battery • Protect the battery from overcharging by charge controller • Inverter is used to convert 12V dc to 220V ac

Mechanical Part

Train Model: Has Magnet at bottom of

inches diameter and width of inches

Track Model: Track is of metal and wood

with diameter of feet. Has 2 pairs of coils. Each coil

made up of wire of 42swg on 1.5 inch diameter rod with 500 turns

Rectifier

• The output of coils is ac • Rectifier converts the ac to dc• Diodes used are 1N4001• 1000uF Capacitor for filtering• Output is given to battery

Controller Unit

• Charge Controller is used for the battery protection

• When the battery is fully charged • Relay is used of 12 volt which is controlling

the battery from overflowing• Have positive series LM7809 regulator,

diode and capacitor.

Sun Switch• Sun Switch is used to save the light at day

time example street lights • In project it is used to control the track

lights • When sunlight hit the sensor the light turn

OFF automatically otherwise the lights remain ON

• LDR sensor, 5volt relay, 50K variable resistor and LM7805 regulator etc

Inverter Module

• It has 3 main things

a) Pulse Generatorb) Drive Transistor Modulec) 12V to 220V Step-up Transformer

Power Generation Through Railway Track

21

Pulse Generator• Pulse generator is use to generate pulses of

50Hz• It is essential to drive the drive transistor

module• It has CD4047 IC which is the main part of

this Generator• Different dimensions are as shown in next

slides

23

Drive Transistor Module• It used as a switch for the step up

transformer• Its input is in pulses of 50Hz and its output

is used for 12Vto 220V Step-up Transformer

• Its circuitry is quite complex as shown in all 4 dimensions in next slides

12V to 220V Step-up Transformer

• It is the Transformer that’s input is 12V dc output is 220ac

• It is 10Amp Step-up Transformer • In this secondary coils are greater than

primary coils• Some diagrams are as

Importance

This project can be quite helpful in overcoming some how the electricity crisis

At high level if it should be planted it can cover the electricity consumption of the railway tracks and stations.

By the generation we can provide electricity to areas nearby the railway tracks
