ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION USING

RAILWAY TRACK
 ABSTRACT

 In this project we are generating electrical power by running

on the train in the railway track. Non-conventional energy
using railway track needs no fuel input power to generate
the output of the electrical power. For this project the
conversion of the force energy in to electrical energy.

 The key element of this project is a variable capacitor, which

can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy with
the help of work done by an external force against the
electric field formed between the two plates of the capacitor.
 This project can generate electricity by pushing one plate
of capacitor against another plate( which is also
connected with small power source).Generated electricity
is way more than electricity we supplied with the help of
power source.
 To produce good amount of electricity significantly we need
to stimulate the variable capacitor using power from
external source and discharging it at a later time in a cyclic
manner to change the capacitance.

 By varying the distance between the capacitance portions

in response to a vehicle on the rail, the capacitance plate
moves against the energy field to act as a variable
capacitor that make the co-generation of power with
respect to the system.

 Working principle

 An electrical power generation system comprises a

variable capacitor and a power source and it can
generate electric power via movements of the rail. The
variable capacitor is charged by the prime mover that
effectively multiplies the priming energy of the power
source by extracting energy from the passing vehicle.
due to change in capacitance than from the power source
itself, large amount of electrical energy is produced.
