Energy Harvesting, Non-Conventional Method, Railway Tracks, Hydraulic Press Mechanism

Power Generation from railway tracks is an important concern in today’s life because its carries large number of trains moving over it. In this project an attempt is made to design a mechanism which able to carry load and generate power using Simple mechanical elements. This mechanism used hydraulic press and Chain drive mechanism to transmit power. The mechanism design in this project is Alternative way to store the energy which is generated using train when passes over the railway tracks with continuous power production process. This mechanism is has advantages of less in cost to manufacture and maintenance free and requires less space to install it.
