We tried to study the application of

piezo ceramic sensors at tunnels. They

showed that the vehicle vibrations at
any location across the tunnel
(pavement and walls) were too small
for useful scavenging energy because
of the vehicle suspensions and their
pneumatic tires. They noted that the
potential of harvesting the railway
(tracks) vibrations is much higher.
Their field measurements showed that
at least 135 J were delivered to the
electrical load from 85 % of all trains.
Nevertheless, it should be mentioned
that modern designs of trains and

As a train rolls down the track, the load it exerts on

the track causes vertical deflection. This displacement
could engage a regenerative device like an
electromagnetic harvester and generate enough
power to operate local railway applications, which is
especially useful in remote areas where electrification
is not cost effective. Harvesting such energy is much
more efficient with regular, unidirectional motion, but
track vibrations caused by a moving train are pulselike, bidirectional and somewhat erratic.
We have a new harvester capable of converting
irregular, oscillatory rail track vibrations into
regulated unidirectional rotational motion, similar to
the way that an electric voltage rectifier converts AC
voltage into DC.
Professor Zuo estimates that the implementation of
such a device could save more than US$10 million in
trackside power supply costs for the New York State
