Abstract
AbstractThe present work deals with generation of electricity from railway tracks by adopting a simple rack and pinion mechanism. Such arrangement is used in footstep or speed breakers for power generation. The rotational energy of a pinion is converted into electrical energy by means of dynamo. Whenever the train is allowed to pass over the train track with rack and pinion setup, the pinion gets rotated, where it is coupled with the 12 V DC dynamo. Due to this, the rotational energy of the pinion is converted into electrical energy. Power is generated by an energy harvesting arrangement which indicates the movement of trains on the railway track for power applications. Mathematical formulas were used to calculate efficient energy produced from the system at various speeds. The energy obtained from railway tracks is one of the major sources to get nonconventional energy where no fuel is required as an input to obtain the output. The generated energy is used for irrigation systems which are nearby farming lands and lamp lights near the track.KeywordsElectricityRack and pinionRailway trackNonconventional methodEnergy harvesting
