ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION FROM RAILWAY SYSTEM

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The world has already had its share of its energy resources. Energy crisis is one of the major problems in India. In this project “ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION FROM RAILWAY SYSTEM “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.
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.
As the vehicle passes over the railway track the load acted upon the track or plant setup is there by transmitted to rack, pinion and chain sprocket arrangements, were the reciprocating motion of the track is converted into rotary motion. Then this rotatory motion is then fed on to the gear drives which multiplies its speed. This speed which is sufficient to rotate the rotor of a generator is fed into the generator were an electro motive force is produced. The generated power can be used for the lamps near the railway station or connected to grid and this will be a great boon for the rural villages too. e.g., The mass of a vehicle moving over the track =57.0 to 69.9 kg/m (assumption ) and Height of spring to be 20cm, then Power developed for 1 vehicle passing over the spring arrangement for one minute= 4.0875 watts and The Power developed for 60minutes(1hr)=245.25watts.
For railway in India has a number of tracks .By just placing a unit like the “Power Generation Unit from railway track ”, so much of energy can be tapped. The utilization of energy is an indication of the growth of a nation. One might conclude that to be materially rich and prosperous, a nation should concentrate more on conservation and production of Eco friendly power.
This project is the best source of energy that we get in our day today life.

It is very essential for government
I had a doubt that as rack and pinuon are coupled during downward stroke rack comes down and makes pinion to rotate..but after the spring load is released rack noves back and pinion to rotate in reverse direction..
Then how can we produce continuous rotation...??
Can u please explain as soon as possible..?
