ABSTRACT
This project attempts to explain an innovative method of generating clean energy from fast moving vehicle (train). The energy generated from this method is produced as the consequences of human activity. The method used to produce energy is from wind available from a moving train. One of the biggest obstacles to the widespread use of wind power generation is that many areas just aren’t that windy. The alternative form of wind energy produced by trains is very unique, as it does not depend on any natural energy resource. A moving train compresses the air in the front of it and pushes the air to its sides thereby creating a vacuum at its rear and its sides as it moves forward. To fill up this vacuum a mass of airflow rushes into the sides and the rear. The kinetic energy of the wind movement thus created is used to generate electricity. So in this project we try to utilise this green and clean energy in an efficient manner.
INTRODUCTION:
All human activities require energy: food to sustain us and enable our mobility, gasoline for our automobiles and transportation, electricity for our lights, heating and air conditioning. Sources and quantum of fossil energy are dwindling day by day and getting exhausted at a very fast rate. Hence conservation, tapping new sources of energy and harnessing of the same from the various non-conventional sources, is an important aspect of energy production/conservation and utilization all over the world.
Renewable energy from wind and solar is sustainable and does not lead to increase carbon dioxide emissions. Generating power by harnessing the wind energy created by fast moving trains is a new idea. This process does not involve any sophisticated mechanism and ensures complete safety. This method of power production paves way to less diligence and can be produced in the placewhere we reside. The hunger for alternative forms of energy continues and therefore we have generated hope.
Utilisation:
Railroad related accidents are more dangerous than other transportation accidents in terms of severity and death rate. Therefore more efforts are necessary for improving safety. There are many railway crossings which are unmanned due to lack of manpower needed to fulfill the demands. Hence many accidents occur at such crossing since there is no one to take care of the functioning of the railway gate. Thus one of the efficient ways, we can utilise this energy for a needful purpose is to use the green energy obtained in automation of the railway gate.
CONCLUSION:
There is an urgent need for transition from petroleum-based energy systems to one based on renewable resources to decrease reliance on depleting reserves of fossil fuels. An emphasis on presenting the real picture of massive renewable energy potential, it would be possible to attract foreign investments to herald a Green Energy Revolution in India. The technology is expected to contribute to the cause of the environment as it helps to reduce carbon emissions and also assists the government in saving on fuel.
