A Nagpur based entrepreneur claims to have developed a technology to harness wind pressure generated by a moving train and convert it into electricity. Santosh Pradhan, who has even obtained 22 national and international patents for the concept, is sure that his eco-friendly way of generating power was the answer to country’s electricity crisis and also to global warming.
The technique has the potential to generate 14.81 lakh megawatt (MW) power in India alone, with its 63,000 route kilometers of railways and 14,300 trains operating every day. Pradhan says his calculations show that every single kilometer of the network of the Indian Railways can generate 20.89 MW of power every day. In fact, nearly 10,000 MW of electricity can be generated in Mumbai alone, on the suburban train network of the metropolis.
In addition to the generation of a huge quantity of energy, the technique would also help conserve the environment as there would be no pollution. The proposed technology will be very eco-friendly, and help save 2586 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emission in India alone. If adopted the world over, it would help reduce the emission of harmful gases drastically, and prevent damage to the ozone layer.
