Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the friction between two homogeneous materials, specifically focusing on the friction between train wheels and rails during braking, and the energy produced by this friction that can potentially be utilized as renewable energy.

Research Methodology: A braking model was designed using a Direct Current (DC) motor as the driving force for the train. The frictional force (Fk) during braking was measured using an Arduino Mega control system that processed data from a speed sensor. The temperature changes resulting from friction were recorded and converted into energy. The experiment was conducted with different masses to evaluate the relationship between the load and energy produced from friction.

Results: The results show a significant linear correlation between friction force and energy production with an R² value of 0.9541. The maximum energy generated during braking, with a friction force of 1.864 Newtons, was 37.31 Joules.

Conclusions: This study demonstrates that energy generated from friction during braking could be harnessed as renewable energy. The results confirm that increased load and friction lead to higher energy output, showing the potential for more sustainable energy systems in transportation.

Limitations: The research was limited to specific materials and experimental conditions. Further studies are needed to explore different materials and environmental factors.

Contributions: This study contributes to the understanding of energy harvesting through friction, proposing a new avenue for sustainable energy sources in the transportation sector.
