Is it possible to generate electricity using a wind turbine mounted on a moving train?
Theoretically yes, it is possible to generate electricity by taking advantage of the speed of a moving train against still air of the atmosphere. What is required is a wind turbine of suitable design fixed on the roof of the engine or a coach.
When the train is moving at some speed, the blades of the wind turbine will tend to rotate due to air hitting the blades at the speed of the train. This will produce electricity...
