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.

8. 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

11. 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

12. 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

15. 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.

18. 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

20. 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
21. 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

23. 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

28. 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

31. Outputs////Loads
• We have the following outputs
i. Mobile/Laptop Charger
ii. Energy Saver
iii. Electric Fan

33. Software
We have use only one software named as
Proteus 7 professional
For the confirmation about the circuit diagrams that either they
are working properly or not.

35. 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

37. Advantages
Power generation is simple
No need fuel input
Battery used to store the generated power
Not too much costly
Need minimum effort for maintenance
Only initial installment cost
