Patent ID: 8334603

Claim:
A rail train actuated energy generating device for use along the path of trains to generate electrical power comprising; an oil bath module that contains a mechanism that operates the rail train actuator energy generating device; a plurality of “Y” shaped actuator arms are embedded in the module so as to turn a shaft in the module along with a gear, whereupon contact with “V” shaped members of a train, the actuator arms leverage the gears; the plurality of “Y” shaped actuator arms further includes roller bearing sleeves fixed on top of the said actuator arms, to absorb the friction caused by the train's motion upon impact on the actuator arms with the “V” shaped members; the module further contains a one way clutch sprocket gear assembly on each shaft attached to an actuator arm member to enable a ratchet action causing the sprocket gear to turn in one direction thus turning adjacent sprocket gears; the “Y” shaped actuator arms include a spring for biasing said actuator arm towards a first position immediately after the train cars “V” shaped member contacts the actuator arm; at least one shaft in the module protrudes out to connect to a gearbox whereby electricity is generated; the plurality of “V” shaped members are attached to the outer undercarriage of the train and are in alignment with the “Y” shaped actuator arms in the oil module thereby making contact with the actuator arms as the train passes through; each “Y” shaped member in the oil bath module is attached to an individual set of shafts and one way clutch sprocket gears.
