Here's the new revolutionary, patented, magnetically levitated, magnetic axial flux generator 10kW VAWT Wind Turbine.

It's being pushed by one small fan, the same fan shown in our original demo video.

  • stay tuned, there's some power tests coming this month

  • This version is meant for commercial and apartment buildings. There will be a smaller residential version in the future.

    The blades on this model are fiberglass.. and the magnetic mechanism isn't similar to Inductrack... they've got a much more elaborate system than this requires for lifting.

  • Perm magnets will last approx 300 - 400 years before losing power...so just about long enough for most people.

  • thats an incredible idea the lack of friction would prove great for increased energy

  • Bella

  • can i attach my old generator coil with this , the coil is of 5kva.

  • Where is your load test result? Without that, other than the maglev idea, this turbine is a piece of shit.

  • This a generator not an engine. So that's 10kW produced. A standard pinwheel design 10kW generator MUST EITHER a) weathervane into the wind and lose efficiency or b)PERMANENTLY face the prevailing winds and thus mainly only benefit from directly

    oncoming winds.

  • this is completely levitated via magnetic levitation? If so how do you get it to stay were it is without it being pushed over (off course)? im just wondering..

  • What does it cost ? How many kilowhatt's does it produce in a year ? Very good work ! Well done ! Please answer, I'm very interested !

  • Maglev is basically useless on these things. The losses from bearings might be a few percent total power generatred, not enought to justify extra cost.

    Why not start selling generators cheaper? This has been around for centuries.

  • Good job, keep up the great ideas. May this bring you fortune and fame.

  • The fan is powered by the turbine.
