Maglev wind turbines are designed for the small wind energy fields, and off grid applications. They integrate aesthetic design, electrical engineering, dynamic engineering, aeronautical engineering, wind tunnel testing, magnetic levitation technology and lightening protection engineering. Compatible with solar systems, increase the power generation day, night, sunshine or rain.
CONTRAST – Vertical Axis Wind Turbine & Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine
| Feature | Maglev Vertical Axis Wind Turbine | Traditional Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine |
| Design Ideas | Gyroscope rotation, does not change the axis of the wind turbine. | Need the tail, the wind turbine rotation depend on the wind direction. |
| Advantage | Start wind speed 1m/s, exceed 40m/s for normal operation | Start wind speed 2.5m/s |
| Effiency increased by over 35% compared with traditional wind turbines | High power generation efficiency at the high wind speed | |
| Long continuous work time > 20 years | ||
| Power generation is free from terrain | ||
| Not noisy – Low dB | ||
| High efficiency power generation at high wind speed | ||
| Weekness | Design complexity | Noisy |
| Sensitive to the terrain | ||
| Variable wind direction and jitter can not be overcome | ||
| Higher cost | Electrical machine, the blades easily fall off | |
| Parts replacement per 3 years | ||
| Applicable Location | Urban, rural, coastal, mountains area | Large space, open without shelter |
| Aesthetic & Security | Beauty and security, all parts will not fall off | High-risk, aesthetics in general |
