Abstract


The aim of this work is to generate free electricity for general use, through wind energy which is created due to the motion of trains. Many areas aren't windy and having intermittency behaviour of wind is one of the big obstacles to the world wide application of wind power generation. This paper attempts to explain the method of generating energy through moving train by using windmill. The method for generating electricity is by tapping wind pressure generated by moving train through windmill. The turbine converts wind energy into mechanical energy and this mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy by using generating device. This paper brings new possibilities of production of electricity by using the concept of rotation of wind turbine due to the wind caused by running trains on the track.
