  • That is genius! Close to frictionless as possible with magnetic levitation.

    I'm guessing the more magnets around the circumference, the more efdicient.

    If it's truly 3000watts, maybe one is only one you need. SWEEEET!

  • Notice how the camera cuts out when the wind starts to slow down.

    B+ for effort.

  • @drewb1994 Sorry that comment was for OhYeahProveIt.. Clicked the Wrong box. To answer your questoin though this is a lift type machine( Search Darrious) The blades are shaped like an airplane wing which allows the turbine to rotate faster than the wind speed and they are far more efficent than drag type machines (search Savonious) Hope that helps sorry again.

  • @TheJimmax you have no idea what im talking about...

  • @drewb1994 Why do you say that? For a vawt to reach 3kw in a 10 m/s wind it will need to be 12sq m approx. depending on the efficency of the turbine. Its hard to say how big this is but it does'nt look that big.

  • Did you say 3KW? Thats pathetic for such a large turbine!

  • If the blades arent angled at all then how does it work?

  • ricer fan

  • @arkansasbean in this video's case, the green cylinder at the bottom is likely the generator. For the magnetic levitation ones the generator is built in around the maglev, where you've got the coils, and on that piece there is one magnet, on the piece above it are the magnets that run across the coils and the second maglev magnet. Ball bearings are probably still used to control the lateral force on the shaft itself.

  • @thegreatwoodlife So you just used a 1800 Rpm alternator ? I thought yours was a megnetic levetation verticle windmill that I am trying to build. I have build the megnetic levetated shaft and rotor, but I havnt came up with a sufficient way to convert the energy yet. Im thinking like a type of magneto design, what do you think ?
