VAWT : Build a Mag-Lev VAWT wind turbine from cheap parts........

Design: The PERFECT Mag-Lev VAWT ( Vertical Axis Wind Turbine )

This design lets you build the Perfect VAWT from cheap parts, which should be capable of generating
ONE HELL OF A LOT OF POWER. Since it's a Mag-Lev it's nearly frictionless, so efficiency can't possibly
get any better than this.

You'll need :

3 Plywood round plates, 3 Ft. diameter by 0.5 inch thick with 2 inch hole in center
32 Neodynium disk magnets, N45 ( shown in red/blue in video, red is north pole )
4 Neodynium Torus magnets, N45 ( shown in red/blue in video, red is north pole )
32 small plastic spools of Copper wire, 14 Gauge solid with enamel insulation ( for coil )
1 Steel pipe, 4 Feet long at 2 inch thick, with mountable support legs ( maybe auto part ? )
16 plastic plates, 1 Foot by 3 Foot by 0.5 inch thick
64 small right-angle mounts
128 wood screws, 0.5 inches long phillips
1 metal lock-ring torus, 2 inch diameter hole in middle with screw in from side to fix to axle

Once you have these items, watch the video to see how it goes together...........SIMPLE !!!!!

P.s.- WARNING: Magnets can crush fingers if not careful, so apply them one at a time.
Glue them to lower side of Rotor plate, and encase them in liquid plastic, let harden........

So lets say you hypothetically reduced the size of the disk with the coils, but kept the coils on there, same amount everything, and added a second disk of magnets to the bottom? joining the two disks with the magnets with the coils in the center, could you potentially double the output because there are now double the magnets on either side?

[tiantan63]

Possibly, but the clearance of the magnets from the coils because of the plate holding the coils

would weaken the second set of magfields, since

the distance from the coils would be inclusive of

the plate thickness.......and the coil plate could no

longer be the support base, either.

[tiantan63]

Best place for a bunch of these would be the

center median of your average highway.

One may also want to add a bridge made up

of two-by-fours to hold the top of the axle in

place, but the main design is pretty robust,

if basic.....

Iseen them do it for a wind turbine on Planet mechanics on Planet green. They dont explains much when they build stuff. i hate that.

WORLD RECORD: BIGGEST WIND TURBINE

Visit: windturbinecarriedbywheels.wee­bly.com

ZERO-NOISE from gears and generators since they're sealed underground.

SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS since the turbines are slow-moving.

DOES NOT NEED TO OCCUPY A WIDER LANDSCAPE since the turbine can be very tall.

MAY BE LOWER-COST since it can use parts of junked trucks and others.

ELUDES HURRICANE FORCE since the blades automatically close.

HELPS THE WIND ENERGY COMPANIES since it is FREE FOR ALL.

Excellent demo..

@AKAOJ , Yes , and it is done that way. 2 magnet discs top and bottom of the coils..The coil arrangement and wiring seems to vary and has me wondering which is best..
