This document presents a project to generate electricity from train wheels on railway tracks. The system uses a rack and pinion assembly, chain drive, flywheel, and DC generator. As a train passes over the track, the wheel deflects a flap which converts the motion to rotational energy through the drive components. This rotation powers the generator to produce electricity which can be stored in a battery and used to power railway equipment. The system provides a solution for energy crises by tapping energy from passing trains without additional fuel. It is a non-conventional and eco-friendly way to generate power.

3. INTRODUCTION
• In this project we are generating
electrical power by running the train
on the railway track.
• It does not requires any fuel input to
generate electrical power as output.
• This project using simple drive
mechanism such as rack and pinion
assembly and chain drive
mechanism.
• This project can be simply
implemented to any where in the

4. Why to do
• Energy crisis is one of the major problems
in India. In this project we are here to
provide a solution for those energy crises.
• The number of vehicles passing over the
track is increasing day by day. There is
possibility of tapping the energy and
generating power by making the railway
track as a power generation unit.

5. • Railway track arrangement
• Flap
• Rack & pinion
• Return spring
• Freewheel and chain drive
• Flywheel
• DC generator
Components

6. Design of base and Railway track
arrangement
1. We have used square section pipe for
base and railway track arrangement .
2. Length of the base – 1100mm
3. Width of the base – 900mm
4. Height of the base – 800mm

7. Rack and pinion
1. Length of rack – 304.8 mm
2. Number of teeth -37
3. Diameter of pinion -50 mm
4. Number of teeth -19

8. Sprocket wheel
1.Material – stainless steel
2. Addendum diameter –
210mm
3. Number of teeth – 48
4. Pitch – 22mm

9. FREE WHEEL SPECIFICATION
1)Material – stainless steel
2) Addendum diameter –
100mm
3) Number of teeth – 23
4) Freewheeling – one
direction

10. BEARING
1.Input shaft bearing:
Inner diameter – 20mm
Outer diameter – 55mm
2.Output shaft bearing:
Inner diameter – 30mm
Outer diameter – 60mm

11. RETURN SPRING
The specifications of the spring selected
are:
1.Wire diameter – 10mm
2. Mean coil diameter – ~ 30mm
3. Number of active coils – 2/3

12. DC GENERATOR
• The specifications of the DC generator are as
follows:
• Bearing shaft diameter – 80mm
• Speed – 1500rpm
• Output voltage – 60v

13. HOW IT WORKS
• When the train move over the track, the flap
deflects in downward direction due to the
load exerted by the train.
• Converting the energy into reciprocating
motion first and then converting this
reciprocating motion into rotary motion.
• This rotary motion is used to generate the
electricity.

15. WORKING
 When ever force is applied on piezo electric crystals
that force is converted to Electrical energy is used to
drive DC loads. And that minute voltage Which is
stored in the Lead Acid 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 loads.
We are using conventional battery charging unit also
for giving supply to the circuitry.

16. ADVANTAGES
• Power generation is carried out by simply
running the vehicle on this arrangement.
• No need fuel input.
• This is a Non-conventional system.
• Battery is used to store the generated power.
• It is eco friendly to the environment.

17.  Harvest small, but still significant amounts of
energy.
 An innovative approach to a device that people
use every day.
 No compromise to safety or reliability.
 Marketing and appearance could encourage
people to take the stairs instead of energy
intensive alternatives such as an elevator or
escalator.
ADVANTAGES

18. DISADVANTAGES
• Slight inclination in the flap is required in
the track.
• Mechanical moving parts are high.

19. CONCLUSION
• It is observed that the electricity power is in
great demand. We can used this system to
supply electricity for railway station
equipment like light ,fan ,signal light etc. This
arrangement can be used in different
application like in foot step or speed breaker
at school, colleges and highways for
generating electrical energy. So that the
power production rate is increased.
