If that has an area of 4 square metres, and it is 100% efficient, it will require winds of 57kM per hour to generate 10kWatts

really, really cool stuff. i love the magnetic levitation for a frictionless bearing. super efficient. i use magnetic levitation in my magnetic pulse motors. thanks for the time to post video...

My brother's company recently completed one of these wind turbines for a client on a urban farm ranch. Makes power for the house so they don't have to pay so much money to the power company.

i bet its noisy

Pure genius.

I'd like to know what kind of anchoring structure is necessary and what is the max rated wind for this thing.

..and of course 100% efficient is a joke, isnt it round 40% with good quality stuff?

[ydnab9]

how does it not get blown off the bearing and how much energy does it take to power the magnets?

Ha,ha,ha....

nice

[ProphecyChanger]

How often do you polish it :-)

YEAH 10 kw if the wind was 50 knots!!!
