Wind turbines for trains

The energy of the wind, which strikes a railway train, both when it is stationary and when it is moving, is transformed, by special patented wind turbines, into electrical energy that can be used for lighting and for various services on board the railway train and also to operate the electric motors that set the train in motion, via the drive wheels.

The patented wind generators for trains are not ordinary wind generators installed on the train, but rather railway wind generators, integrated into the structure of the train.

Train wind turbines are protected and segregated, posing no danger to passengers or train operators, as they have no exposed or protruding parts that could cause damage, either inside or outside the train.

With adequate ventilation, at least part of the kinetic energy produced by railway wind turbines contributes significantly to the train's traction, both directly and by pushing the drive wheels into rotation, via transmission components and motion variation.

This occurs without converting wind energy into electrical energy and without the use of electric motors and therefore without energy loss, which would occur if the energy were first converted from kinetic to electrical, using alternators and then from electrical to kinetic using electric motors.

The train is equipped with electric batteries, in which part of the energy produced by the railway's wind generators is stored and subsequently used to propel the train using electric motors.

Wind turbines for trains and for vehicles  produce energy where it is used, without the costs of transporting it.

Energy is produced both when the train is moving and when it is stationary, during stops, even prolonged ones and even at night.

Under adequate ventilation conditions, the energy produced by the railway wind generators and the stored energy are sufficient to traction the train.

Finally, the train, with a hybrid power (wind - endothermic), is suitable for non-electrified routes.
