Power Generation Through Railway Track 5

 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.

Power Generation Through 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.

12volt storage

Power Generation Through Railway Track 17

 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 Generator
b) Drive Transistor Module
c) 12V to 220V Step-up Transformer

Power Generation Through Railway Track 20

 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

Power Generation Through Railway Track 22

 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
