Train Runs, Electricity Is Generated! Scientists Find a Way to Harness Energy Hidden in Every Track Vibration
New Delhi. (SDNA) Until now, we have seen trains consuming electricity, but the equation could change in the future. As a train runs over the tracks, electricity could be generated from its weight and vibrations. Scientists have developed technology that can convert the vibrations of railway tracks into electrical energy. The most notable aspect is that this electricity could be used to operate small sensors installed for monitoring railway tracks. Train Vibrations Will No Longer Go to Waste! When a heavy train passes over railway tracks, it creates significant vibrations and up-and-down movements in the track. Until now, most of this energy has gone unused. The new technology captures these vibrations and converts them into electricity. In other words, every time a train passes o...
