METHOD FOR TRAIN POWER GENERATION AND SUPPLY FROM LAND-BASED VEHICLES WITH ELECTRIC DRIVE AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B60L1/00 B60L15/32 B61C17/12 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions is related to methods, electric circuits or devices for control of traction system of transport vehicles with electric traction. The method includes connection of locomotive to overhead power supply line by means of current collector and conversion of electric energy. Transfer of electric energy from locomotive to the first automobile connected to the train and from the first automobile to the second, third and next automobiles by automatic connectors of electric sockets. The device includes current collector mounted at the locomotive roof, electric energy converter, which generates the respective voltage at the output. The automatic connector of electric sockets comprises a socket connector mounted at the locomotive rear part and each automobile and electric plug matching the socket connector fixed at hydraulic actuator rod installed in the front lower part of each automobile bottom so that it may be moved along longitudinal axis of the automobile. Laser locator is fixed at the front part of each automobile. At that the socket connector and plug connector installed at the same automobile are interconnected electrically. The automatic control system controls movement of each locomotive and each automobile.

EFFECT: improved traffic capacity of roads, energy saving and improved traffic safety.
