This paper presents the design component aspect of a magnetically levitated vertical axis wind turbine. Using the effects of magnetic repulsion, spiral shaped wind turbine blades will be fitted on a rod for stability during rotation and suspended on magnets as a replacement for ball bearings which are normally used on conventional wind turbines. Maglev wind turbines have several advantages over conventional wind turbines. For instance, they’re able to use winds with starting speeds as low as 1.5 meters per second (m/s). Also, they could operate in winds exceeding 40 m/s. This type of wind setup does not require any significant land for installation, as its can be easily incorporated in rooftop, tower, and buildings. The VAWT is defined by an axis perpendicular to the unperturbed flow direction. It is considered that the blades carry their own weight leading to a reinforced root region. During operation the blades experience aerodynamic and inertia forces, which are deflecting the blades outwards, leading to an alternation of the aerodynamic loads. The interplay of load alternation and blade deflection could lead to a diverging flutter motion. After a fitting design is obtained, the blade motion has to be inspected for a safe use during operation.
