Title:
GENERATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY FROM MASS AIRFLOW IN UNDERGROUD TUNNELS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/025574
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems and method for generating reliable renewable energy using mass airflow generated from subterranean locations, such as the movement of railcars (for example, trains, both passenger and cargo) inside an underground tunnel are provided. Micro mass airflow collection equipment (MACE) units may be strategically placed in the underground tunnels and may be used to generate AC or DC power from the mass airflow created by the movement of the trains. The electricity generated from the MACE units can then be used, for example, for propulsion power to reduce the amount of electricity required to be purchased from other sources, such as the local utility company, thereby reducing costs and demand on power generation from non-renewable sources.
