Description

Train Kinetics Conversion System

Technical Background:

Trains are one of the important means of transport across the world to transport passengers and goods from a place to another. They have witnessed development across the history till date and today, there is an opportunity to operate the trains through the clean hybrid power.

In Germany, trains operate through electrical power of 15 KV, 16.6 H, 4200 KW AC, which requires high costs with subsequent technical difficulties.

Germany is an advance country in the field of trains manufacturing, including the infrastructure, switching points, electronic and electromechanical controls. It adopts 1435 mm as a width between the railway bars which is an international standard.

The electricity grids usage in Germany and other countries incurs huge costs upon the railways companies as there should be instructed electricity infrastructure along the railways, the high wires should be installed upon posts along the ways with joining handles, transformers and electronic controls with continuous monitoring of the current.

However the continuous use is the hardest option as there is no other option. The CEO of the German company Elistom “Hinary Bobart Lafrag” has unveiled the first hydrogen train in the world which is carbonic emission- free. He has elaborated that the new train fleet operate on huge lithium ion batteries which are charged through the installed hydrogen tanks. The train can travel about 500 km a daily with 87 miles per hour.

The hydrogen generation is a complicated process as it is about water vapor combined with other elements with strong bonds with Oxygen and a little of which may be used as a pure gas. The separation process requires huge potential and it is a light gas, which needs very huge storage tanks. There are difficulties associated with its transport and handling and it is unreliable gas to charge the required lithium ion batteries to operate the trains.

Summary of the invention

The present invention is related to electricity power generation system from the train movement, wherein it may be used as follows:

The benefit is achieved by converting the kinetics of the train wheels into electricity through DC generators to charge Lithium Ion batteries to have clean energy- operated trains.

The benefit is achieved through converting the train wheels kinetics into electricity via

AC generators which are connected through a number of electrical and electronic systems to another number of the electric and electronic converters to lift the potential which are referred by the latter to electronic controls to feed the train engines to be operated alternatively with the main electricity (hybrid power).

The benefit is achieved through converting the train wheels kinetics into electricity via AC generators which are connected through a number of electrical and electronic systems to another number of the electric and electronic converters to lift the potential which are referred by the electronics to be pumped into the main electrical grids through serial curve connected to the grid which is installed on hinged steel structure on a suitable place on the train roof. In this case, the trains is similar to a movable power plant feeding the public grid with free and clean power with two installed meters to calculated the produced and consumed power.

The train operation through lithium ion batteries which are charged with the generated DC power out of electricity generators fine grinds friction with fine grinds of installed iron frame on train wheels will save millions of dollars for the electrical and none electrical railways operators. It will be of a high importance if applied on the upcoming 9750 km Chinese- European railway (Silk Road) from Beijing to London and the poor countries using diesel such as Egypt, Eastern Asia and some countries of Africa.

The trains are operated on electricity and may be alternatively opened with the kinetic

AC generators as a result of fine grinds friction with fine grinds of installed iron frame on train wheels which are called hybrid power trains after introducing the required regulators, convertors and electronic controls. This technology will save millions of dollars for the railway operators and the electricity companies will also save millions of fuel barrels which will enhance the environment and life quality.

The trains are operated through AC electricity which will be unchanged. However, the kinetics of the train wheels will be used by AC electricity generators as clean and huge power. Such power will be connected to a number of regulators, convertors and electronic controls and pumped into the public power grid with independent installed meters. In this case, trains will use and generate power simultaneously with a huge benefits for the railways operators.

Trains are a chain of heavy movable irons masses plus the passengers and goods load. This an important aspect as it provide stability on the railway bars.

This an important factor to increase the generated power. (1) .

Trains are transport means characterized with high speed (250-500) km per hour.

This an important factor to increase the generated power. (2) .

The grinds double the speed as one rotation equals five rotations. If the train on an average speed of about 250 km per hour, the generators rotate more than 30 thousand rotations per minute.

This an important factor to increase the generated power. (3) . Trains are a hive with no resting movement on the railway bars and may not be affected by the weather conditions as the bars are higher than the ground level.

This an important factor to increase the generated power. (4) .

The average of passenger cabinets and goods carriages are about sixty with four wheels each totaling 240 wheels. Each wheel has to generators with 480 generators in total. This an important factor to increase the generated power. (5) .

The locomotives drag many if the passengers cabinets and heavy carriages which needs huge power of no more than 4200 kw which urges us to increase the number of the generators and accelerators to lift the potential to be in pro rata with the locomotives power or more.

Detailed description

The train wheels have a huge kinetics which may be used as follows:

First: A circular iron frame with an external diameter of 62 cm, internal diameter of 58 cm, thinness of 2 cm, width of 2 cm with 120 helical teeth or more in the upper side. It has a notch in the wheel of a depth of 5 mm with 15 mm in protrusion. It will be compressed in the notch, completed with welding and cleaned by the turning machine.

Refer to the attached figures.

Second: New metal molds will be manufactured to cast train wheels with toothed notch protruding the iron frame to be a part of the wheel as per the set specifications and measurements in the first application concerning the new or renewed wheel casting. This the example embodiment. A circular iron disk with more than 30 fine helical teeth with a diameter of 6 cm, thickness of 25 mm with a protruding post of 30 mm in length and 20 mm in thickness with a through bore in the center of 6 mm for the bit. Refer to the attached figures.

DC and AC electrical generators of the medium size of 12 and 24 volt or more. They are about mechanical devices to produce electricity in a magnetic field according to the electromagnetic induction principle. In general, it is for the inductive current generation. The generators industry has developed and it is of two main categories:

■ Category 1 : DC electricity generators which generate a direct current in one way.

■ Category 2: AC generators which change the direction more than once a second.

The two categories are based on the same principles. Refer to the attached figures.

Metal connections are manufactured to be connected to the wheel hubs to install the electricity generators to avoid any vibrations and to maintain the gear friction to produce power smoothly. Refer to the attached figures.

An iron post of 15 cm or more in length will be manufactured to connect the generators and gears with a thickness of 25 mm and depth of 15 mm and 3 cm at the ends with a through hole to attach the small teethed gears from one end and attach the electrical posts from the other end with provided piles of 25 mm in length and a thickness of 6 mm. It may be of the same specifications and measurements of the isolating fiber post. Two copper flanges of internal diameter of 25 mm and external diameter of 3 cm will be provided to chock the post pile with the gears and generators and the flanges will be lining chocked with a notch of 3 mm in depth in the post.

A third copper flange with internal diameter of 32 mm, external diameter of 45 mm and 4 cm in length to be introduced into the post before the two flanges to allow the post rotation with a proper line to avoid any friction voice in the generators seats. They are seats to stabilize the post rotation with the small gears with chocking lining as above.

Life impossible without friction. It has many benefits as it allows vehicles to be moved on roads, adheres the train wheels to the railways bars and allows the conveyer belt to turn the handle without sliding. The set forth two gears in the present invention which called big driving gear and small driven gear to transfer the movement into another part are based on friction to generate power. We observe in the mechanical application the fraction reduction as much as possible to provide the best performance as per the following options:

1. The electricity generators are selected to be in the size of the big car batteries charging generators. 2. The helical grinds are selected to be 6 in depth or more and rotatable in both directions and endure higher fatigue and higher speeds which is the best mean to reduce the friction forces.

Refer to the attached figures.

Trains are moveable in the two directions which requires the usage of the AC generators switching the direction more than once a second. This requires also the usage of the “unified” diode with a conductive electronic element in the two direction with the train generators to regulate the current before reaching the electronic sensor. This applies also when the incoming current from the generators is switched as a result of anti-rotation with switching the positive and negative poles to reach the electronic regulator to transfer the current to the battery

The addition of many generators to be attached to gears and grinds in the train wheels will compose an additional load on the locomotives. However, it is believed that the load increase is pre determined and there is no concern in this respect especially there are generators of the suitable size with smooth rotatable metal wheels on the metal bars to decrease the loads.

To secure the electricity transferring wires from the generators to the electronic regulators, to fuses are provided on the output electricity wires. In case of short circuit, the current shall be disconnected between the generator and the transferring wires in order not to affect the grid. The affected generators no. will be shown on the display of the driving cabinet.

To protect the ball bearings, a lubricant will be manufactured which is a plastic transparent container of 50 L or more modeled on the car braking oil container. It will be installed around the locomotive cabinet with and filled with light oil and plastic twister with a diameter of no more than 12 mm. It produces compressed air to pump the oil through strong plastic tubes with a diameter of 12 mm to drop the oil on the entries of the installed ball bearings on the train wheel with a rate of one drop every 12 hours. This will greatly smoothen the ball bearings rotation and increase their life time with easy, cost effective and efficient applications.

Lithium Ion battery is the power of the present and future. Its use has started in many fields such as the electric cars. Bloomberg Company, which is specialized in the financial information, has published in its report that the world production of lithium ion batteries will be doubled by 2021 as many company will start producing it which will increase the competition, The cost of one kilo watt was USD 542 in 2012. However, such cost has decreased to USD 170 today by about USD 372, which makes us tending to use clean power, and make more researches in this respect.

The usage of lithium ion batteries to operate trains on the clean power becomes possible with no comparison with the costs of the electric power even if the batteries are huge and with high costs as they are used for once which is not comparable with the continuous electricity invoice, maintenance and operation. The prices of the batteries are progressively decreasing, the respective technology is increasing, and the present invention makes the charging process executed with the best applications and less costs. The best place for the batteries, electronic sensors, transformers and controls is the first cabinet which is attached to the locomotive. It will be divided into three equal parts or more with separations of transparent plastic from anti bullet poly carbonite of 25 mm in thickness or more.

To maintain the batteries more, they will be allocated to three parts in the first cabinet.

Part (1): It included 40% of the batteries with a nearby one electronic sensor or more to receive the power from generators to the battery. When the battery charging level is 75- 80%, it closes the current and refers it to a transformer in the same part (1) to convert DC into AC then to a potential lifting transformer.

Part (2): It includes 30% of the batteries and devices of the same specifications of Part (1).

Part (3): It includes 30% of the same batteries of Part (2).

The first cabinet which is allocated to the batteries and accessories shall be provided with six doors or more on the two sides with external emergency doors with the safety devices. It is called the cabinet of batteries, accessories, transformers and electronic controls.

There are two types of transformers, potential lifting and potential lowering transformers.

They are essential in this technology to lift the potential in pro rata with the capacity of the locomotive engine (4200 kw). They may be distributed to be three or more along the batteries.

In the accelerated technical progress, it is really necessary to re-examine railway and train electricity grids, as it is of the utmost importance in the lives of people as a means of commercial and human transport in the world, and it is well known that electricity grids exist along the railways are very costly and require to be supplied with electrical power; a provision of the electrical power requires oil that needs huge sums and generate carbon emissions, and the negative effects of such applications may not be eliminated, yet they cannot be abandoned .

Today, we have invented the conversion of the kinetic energy of the train wheels into electrical energy by means of electrical generators for battery charging.

Such as Permanent Magnet Brushless DC Motor, this type of engine is characterized by no electric losses in copper wiring because it contains fixed magnets as a replacement, as compared to other types, it is of higher efficiency than inductive motors, lighter weight and less in volume, and it is characterized by a natural heat exchange with the surroundings at high efficiency, the reliability of this type of engine is very high, having a high torque of high efficiency. Such type of high-cost electric motor is characterized by reduced torque with an increased speed. One of the most important vehicles using this motor is Toyota Ptius (2005), and it is possible to integrate wind turbines

Such as a high-power magnetic vertical Maglev for charging batteries from 300 w up to 1000 w without blades for houses, boats and trains, they need not be wind-oriented so as to be effective. This very convenient feature as well as its wind speeds on surfaces of trains are available, They are good looking, lightweight, low cost and easy to apply, two of which can be installed on the end of each cabin of trains externally on aluminum bar of length of 120 cm or more -3/4 inch- distanced from the cabin body at 40 cm or more, a comfortable distance allowing it to rotate and its upper end with the roof of the cabins, taking into consideration bridges and tunnels; wherein, wind is available, its advantage is also that it operates at low and high wind speeds and at any direction and does not cause an increase in loads or an impairment to the movement of the trains or influence their speeds as circular in shape or does not contradict with wind, and it is also possible to add a number of solar energy panels to the surfaces of the train cabins

It is also used on household surfaces as much as needed to charge batteries, these three hybrid energies are of less cost and easy for high-efficiency and environmentally friendly applications, it may cover the need for electricity and may produce a surplus that is subject to public electricity networks, and the positive effect will be reflected on the world economy.

In Germany, there are specialized companies in this field such as Siemens AG, which is specialized in train electronic controls, railway electronic controls including the ordinary and super speed trains. Moreover, there is Pantech Corporation, which is specialized in the railway sensors such as wheel sensors, axes meters, etc. The transformers may not be installed in the batteries room but in the rear part of the locomotive if possible. The two said specialized companies might assess such matter appropriately.
