Magnetic levitation or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. Magnetic pressure is the only effect acting on object overcoming gravitational and any other acceleration effect. The principal advantage of a magnetic levitation windmill over a conventional windmill is that mechanical friction is completely eliminated due to floating of rotors. That makes the rotation possible in very low wind speeds. The goal of this project is to build the vertical axis wind turbine to generate electricity by using wind energy. This type of vertical axis wind turbine will generate electricity without using generator or alternator, but by the application of magnetic levitation concept. This wind turbine is designed to withstand all the forces by wind and keeps rotating even at low wind force. This type of vertical axis wind turbines has three wings. The wings are designed to accept wind from any directions.
