PROJECT IDEA GENERATION-
As we all know that energy conservation is the need of the hour. Energy generation using train wheel, is the totally a new concept.
So keeping the above facts in mind we choose this topic to prepare our working model.
INTRODUCTION-
Locomotive is any type of self-propelled vehicle used by railroad to pull or push other type of rolling stock, including passengers, freight.
An India is an extensive country. Now day’s railway playing a vital role in transport of freight and passengers. Trains are the veins of are country. Indian railway network is one of the largest railway network in the world.Today the growth is phenomenal and the network have a route length of 62,458 Km, with 7116 station. It has fleet of 8268 locomotive 29,501 Coaches , 3291 Electronic multiple units & 3,46,394 wagons.
CONSTRUCTION-
The construction of Train wheel operated compressor is very simple & compact.
Basically it is assembly of Base frame Wheel, Piston-Cylinder, and Air reservoir .
WORKING-
The train wheel operated compressor for various systems is work on law of energy conservation.
ADVANTAGES-
1)Air is available free of cost.
2)No. external supply is required.
3)Low Cost
4)No pollution & less Noisy system.
5)Efficiency is high.
6)No supervision is required.
7)High Portability.
8)No high leakage & reliable.
9)Easy construction & Very compact.
10)Low Maintenances.
DISADVANTAGES-
Leakage problems.
System may affect by Thermal stresses.
Due to working burring of material occurs.
APPLICATION
Compressed air is utilizing for opening & closing the Door- Windows of the train.
It can be also used for AC system & refrigeration system by using pulse tube mechanism to store the food like fish, vegetable etc.
Compressed air is used for Supporting Breaking system
It can also used to clean the train, cooling the radiator of engine.
It is used for generation of electricity with the help of turbine mechanism to operate lighting, Horn, etc.
