In this project we are generating electrical power as non-conventional method by simply running on the train in the railway track.  Non-conventional energy system is very essential at this time to our nation.  Non-conventional energy using railway track needs no fuel input power to generate the output of the electrical power.  This project using simple drive mechanism such as rock and pinion mechanism. For this project the conversion of the force energy in to electrical energy. The control mechanism carries the rack & pinion, D.C generator, battery and inverter control.  In this we are attaching the dynamo with gear (pinion) setup on train and we are placing the rack on track. Rack & pinion used rotational motor to affect the linear motion via a rack & pinion combination. When the trains move on the track, the flywheel is attached to the shaft of the generator so if the flywheel will rotate then there is a rotation shaft generator and power get generated and that power is stored into the battery. This battery power is used to run the train and converts this battery power into AC using inverter. The generator is used here, is permanent magnet D.C generator. The generated voltage is 12Volt D.C. This D.C voltage is stored to the Lead-acid 12 Volt battery. The battery is connected to the inverter. This inverter is used to convert the 12 Volt D.C to the 230 Volt A.C. This 230 Volt A.C voltage is used to activate the light, fan and etc. By increasing the capacity of battery and inverter circuit, the power rating is increased. This arrangement is fitted in the railway track and train.
