This document describes a system for generating electrical power from trains running on railway tracks. The key element is a variable capacitor, which converts the mechanical energy of a train into electrical energy by changing the distance between capacitor plates. As a train passes, it causes one capacitor plate to move against the electric field of the other plate, varying the capacitance and generating a charge that is greater than what is supplied by the small power source used to stimulate the capacitor. This extracted energy is then stored in a battery, providing an emission-free source of electrical power along railway tracks.

ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION USING
RAILWAY TRACK ABSTRACT
In this project we are generating electrical power by running
on the train in the railway track. Non-conventional energy using railway track needs no fuel input power to generate the output of the electrical power. For this project the conversion of the force energy in to electrical energy.
The key element of this project is a variable capacitor, which
can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy with the help of work done by an external force against the electric field formed between the two plates of the capacitor. This project can generate electricity by pushing one plate of capacitor against another plate( which is also connected with small power source).Generated electricity is way more than electricity we supplied with the help of power source. To produce good amount of electricity significantly we need to stimulate the variable capacitor using power from external source and discharging it at a later time in a cyclic manner to change the capacitance.
By varying the distance between the capacitance portions
in response to a vehicle on the rail, the capacitance plate moves against the energy field to act as a variable capacitor that make the co-generation of power with respect to the system. BLOCK DIAGRAM

generation Battery Working principle
An electrical power generation system comprises a
variable capacitor and a power source and it can generate electric power via movements of the rail. The variable capacitor is charged by the prime mover that effectively multiplies the priming energy of the power source by extracting energy from the passing vehicle. due to change in capacitance than from the power source itself, large amount of electrical energy is produced.
