发明名称 Rail mounted wind turbine
摘要 A rail mounted wind turbine includes a pivotable housing placed between rails of a rail track. The pivotable housing can move into at least one upward position and at least one downward position and includes a wind turbine. The wind turbine has a blade that moves when a force, such as a wind force, is applied to provide mechanical energy to generate electrical power. An electrical generator communicates with the wind turbine to generate electrical power from the mechanical energy. A controller controls the movement of the pivotable housing into the at least one upward position and the at least one downward position. At least one sensor associated with the rail mounted wind turbine communicates with the controller to provide at least one signal to the controller to indicate a position of a vehicle operating on the rail track in relation to the pivotable housing.

主权项 1. A rail mounted wind turbine, comprising: a pivotable housing, the pivotable housing adapted for positioning in conjunction with a rail track, the pivotable housing being selectively positioned into at least one upward position relative to the rail track and into at least one downward position relative to the rail track; a wind turbine, the wind turbine positioned within the pivotable housing, the wind turbine having at least one blade movable in a path when a wind force is applied to the at least one blade to provide mechanical energy to generate electrical power; an electrical generator communicating with the wind turbine, the electrical generator to generate electrical power from the mechanical energy generated by the movement of the at least one blade of the wind turbine, the generated mechanical energy driving the electrical generator to generate the electrical power; a controller, the controller adapted to control selective movement of the pivotable housing into the at least one upward position relative to the rail track and into the at least one downward position relative to the rail track; and at least one sensor, the at least one sensor associated with the rail mounted wind turbine, the at least one sensor adapted to communicate with the controller to provide at least one signal to the controller indicating at least one relative position of a vehicle operating on the rail track in relation to the pivotable housing.
