Abstract


Today Energy is an ultimate resource. This paper involves the energy generation from wind that is produced by the trains that pass several times a day. Since the wind, the natural source of energy is already being produced by the train we can use it to our best to produce electricity. Through his paper we have showed the construction of the equipment [1] as well as the electricity generation procedure with efficiency calculation from the trains.

Keywords


Mini Windmill, Power Generation, Train, Wind Energy, Magnetic Induction, Turbine, Renewable Sources of Energy.
