- 1. ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION USING RAILWAY TRACK Internal guide: Mr. By Student1 Student2 Student3
- 2. Introduction •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.
- 3. • 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.

- 5. Major building blocks • Rack and pinion mechanism • Generator • Battery • Led
- 6. Mechanism • Machines are mechanical devices used to accomplish work. A mechanism is a heart of a machine. It is the mechanical portion of the machine that has the function of transferring motion and forces from a power source to an output.
- 7. The Rack And Pinion Mechanism A bearing is a component used to reduce friction in a machine." A bearing is a device to allow constrained relative motion between two or more parts, typically rotation or linear movement. Bearings may be classified broadly according to the motions they allow and according to their principle of operation as well as by the directions of applied loads they can handle.
- 8. • A typical spring is a tightly wound coil or spiral of metal that stretches when you pull it (apply a force) and goes back to its original shape when you let it go again (remove the force). In other words, a spring is elastic. I don't mean it's made from rubber; I mean that it has elasticity.
- 9. • A flywheel is a mechanical device with significant moment of inertia used as a storage device for rotational energy. • Power storage devices for uses in vehicles • It is a heavy metal disk at the rear end of the crankshaft; its inertia was used to smooth out speed fluctuations in the revolving crankshaft.
- 10. • A global industry exists for Uninterruptible Power Supply ( • As a replacement for battery-based UPS systems, flywheel technology has the advantage of being virtually maintenance- free compared to maintenance-intensive and less-reliable battery-based UP
- 11. Generator • In this project we are using a DC motor as generator. • The linear mechanical movement is converted to angular (rotational) movement. • We are also using a flywheel (mechanical device) used as a storage device for rotational energy. • The DC generator is directly coupled to flywheel. • The DC generator generates the voltage that can be stored in a rechargeable battery for further usage.
- 12. Disadvantages • Only applicable for the particular place. • Initial cost of this arrangement is high.
- 13. Applications Power generation using sliding crank mechanism can be used in most of the places
