ELECTRICITY GENERATION THROUGH THE CONVERSION
OF ENERGY PRODUCED BY REVOLVING
GEARS OF A TURNSTILE
As the title implies, do you think it's feasible?
I'm working on it as a topic on my research subject, but I'm having a hard time. I didn't know that there are lots of principles involved and lots of things to be considered.
The system goes like this, as a person turns the turnstile (faregate), the gears will multiply the shaft rotation, then the mechanical energy was converted by the generator into electrical energy and I'm thinking if the electrical energy should be stored into a supercapacitor or to a car battery.
The basis of this study is the Japan Railway passengers generate electricity at train stations due to piezo elements embedded in the floor under the ticket gates, which generate electricity from the pressure and vibration they receive as people step on them. And another from the revolving door that generates electricity that was made by Boon Edam.
I'm wondering what type of gears can be used and what laws and principles can be applied to this.
And also, since the electrical energy harnessed from the turnstiles is very small, I'm thinking if all turnstiles in one train station can be connected to one generator only.
Please tell me what do you think of this.
Any recommendations and criticisms are welcome. Thank you.
