In this paper we have focused on dust collection in train with the help of wind energy. Dust is one of the sources of land pollution which affect the environment majorly. By throwing the dust outside often will cause the land unfertile and unfit for use. To overcome this problem we have introduced a solution in this paper.

LAND POLLUTION

The contamination of soil by human and natural activities which may cause harmful effects.

Wastes which affect the soil characteristics and productivity of soils when they are dumped on the soil.

WIND ENERGY

Wind energy or wind power describes the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power

Renewable energy technologies make use of resources available locally

CONSTRUCTION

CASING

covers both pulleys
openable and closable at the end
good protection from external environment

PULLEY

attached near both end of casing
shaft mounted in pulley hole
carries belt

BELT DRIVE

placed in pulley groove path
leads dust to collector

DUST COLLECTOR

placed below the casing
openable and closable mini door placed outside

WORKING

high velocity of air circulate around , outside of the train .

speed is sufficient to drive the blades of the fan

power is transmitted to one of the pulley

OVERVIEW OF LAND POLLUTION

INCREASE IN WASTES

ADVANTAGE

Decrease in land pollution.

Dust collection is very easy

Cheapest way to collect waste.

Protection to passenger.

Collected dust may be reused.

Collected degradable dust used as a fertilizer for agriculture by composting.

CONCLUSION

If, this method is introduced in INDIAN RAILWAYS the land pollution caused by plastics, papers, bottles.etc. in train will be decreased day by day.
