Laboratory testing at London South Bank University continues, utilising a rig that simulates the vibrations in the rail when a train passes.
The rig allows for different arrangements of nanotubes to be trialed.
The Voltage and Current output changes depending on how RailPower is constructed.
Using this approach allows for the design of our products to be perfected before operation in the field.
The RailPower team have successfully built a prototype of their design, achieving the TRIG Level 4 status that we were funded for from the TRIP program.
The next step for RailPower is to obtain funding to increase the efficiency of the design, and investigate methods for multiple units to work in series for greater power generation

To validate the technology we have created, Potential Energy contracted Electrosciences Ltd to test our RailPower demonstrator unit.
Their report proves our concept of power generation through conversion of vibration energy into electrical power.
