Abstract

The main aim of the project is to design and fabricated a prototype vertical axis wind turbine and test the maximum power generated. The positions of the blades of wind turbine is mechanically assembled closer to the rotating shaft, which will have a rotor with required number of blades which is connected to a shaft and coupled to DC Generator through gear mechanism.

The maglev wind mill uses drag force of wind then it passes through aero foil shaped blades. Aero foil shaped blades used to convert kinetic energy of the wind into the mechanical work. The magnetic levitation used is between the rotating shaft and the fixed base of the machine. This magnetic levitation is reducing the friction loss between the shaft and the bearing then the total wind energy is converted to maximum mechanical work.
