MAGLEV turbine


Maglev is a company interested in making a huge turbine that is a VAWT(vertical axis wind turbine). It uses a series of permanent magnets causing the upper rotor assembly to levitate above the base reducing friction. This could lengthen service life of the turbine, and because of the size, less turbines would be needed to make the same power.
