Electricity Production by Magnet (Maglev Mill (original) (raw)

POWER GENERATION USING MAGLEV WINDMILL

The paper project describes the implementation of different type of a wind turbine for purpose of power generation. A vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with use of magnetic levitation technology for optimal performance of wind turbine has been discussed. With the merits of conventional VAWT, the merits of starting at low wind-speed, higher efficiency, low noise emission, etc. are also discussed. The major consequence in front of conventional wind turbine is loss of energy during rotation. By using nature of permanent magnet as a perfect replacement for ball bearings levitation of the turbine is intended thus reducing energy losses while rotation. Using this effect wind turbine blades are placed on a rod for obtaining stability during rotation. Power is then generated by using an axial flux generator, which has incorporated the utilization of permanent magnets and a set of coils.

This paper deals with wind power generation by elimination of gear system. Using magnetic levitation frictional losses will be avoided and power generated will be improved. Comparing with conventional type vertical axis wind turbine is more efficient that will capture the wind in all directions. Due to maglev, it will be able to rotate in minimum speed of 1m/s and produce alternating voltage. By using permanent magnet (Neodymium) repulsion effect replaces the bearings to reduce the frictional losses and produce power more than conventional type with cost effective.

Design and Implementation of Magnetic Levitated Wind Generator

Journal of emerging technologies and innovative research, 2020

This paper dwells on the implementation of an alternate configuration of a wind turbine for power generation purposes. Here we have used Magnetic levitation vertical axis wind turbine to generate power instead of conventional wind turbine. The basic Principles used in this project are Magnetic Levitation and Faradays Law of Electromagnetic Induction. Magnetic levitation is a method by which an object is suspended above another object with no support other than magnetic fields. The electromagnetic force is used to counteract the effects of the gravitational force. Magnetic levitation is used to reduce the energy loss due to friction. This energy wasted in friction can be saved by maglev method. The main aim of this project is to eliminate ball bearings which are normally used on conventional wind turbine. Two powerful magnets of same poles are placed one over other for levitation.8 Cup shaped wind turbine blades are fitted at 45degrees between the two circular shaped plates supported...

Design and Fabrication of Windmill Using Magnetic Levitation

The popularity of renewable energy has experienced a significant upsurge in recent times due to the exhaustion of conventional power generation methods and increasing realization of its adverse effects on the environment. This popularity has been bolstered by cutting edge research and ground breaking technology that has been introduced so far to aid in the effective tapping of these natural resources and it is estimated that renewable sources might contribute about 20%-50% energy consumption in the latter part of the 21st century. This research focuses on the utilization of wind energy as a renewable source. In the United States alone, wind capacity has grown about 45% to 16.7GW and it continues to grow with the facilitation of new wind projects. The aim of research is to design and implement a magnetically levitated vertical axis wind turbine system that has the ability to operate in both high and low wind speed conditions. Our choice for this model is to showcase its efficiency in varying wind conditions as compared to the traditional horizontal axis wind turbine and contribute to its steady growing popularity for the purpose of mass utilization in the near future as a reliable source of power generation.

Magnetic levitation is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. Magnetic pressure is used to counteract the effects of the gravitational and any other accelerations. The principal advantage of a maglev windmill from a conventional one is, as the rotor is floating in the air due to levitation, mechanical friction is totally eliminated. That makes the rotation possible in very low wind speeds, which is the new direction to improve the performance of wind turbines. In this project work, magnetically levitated (maglev) wind turbines are designed and developed. It is the self-starting turbine.3D Designing is done using Solidworks 2015 software and Finite Element Analysis is used to study effect of air flow on the Turbine blade using ANSYS FLUENT.

Vertically oriented blades of the wind turbine are suspended by the help of permanent magnets. Power is then generated by using an axial flux generator which has incorporated the utilization of permanent magnets and coils. The principle advantages of Maglev Windmill are elimination of the frictional losses, low starting wind speeds (upto 1.5 m/s) and also operable at higher wind speeds exceeding 40 m/s. These VAWT's can also be utilized in micro power generation on a domestic scale.

IRJET, 2021

Renewable power generation system have been recently getting more and more attention due to the cost competitiveness and are environment friendly as compared to the fossil fuels and nuclear power generation. In recent years wind energy has become one of the most economical renewable energy technology. Today electricity generating wind turbines employ proven and tested technology and provide a secure and sustainable energy supply. The magnetic levitating vertical axis wind turbines have more advantages than that of conventional wind turbines in such a way that the blades of maglev wind turbines start rotating at a very low wind speed (approx 1.5m/s) and also it can be operated in a wind speed increasing 40m/s because of the negligible friction due to the magnetic levitation. Hence maglev wind turbine has a great future scope in terms of power generation. So the current project work is all about the design and fabrication of a prototype model of magnetic levitating vertical axis wind turbine and test it in different wind conditions.

A Maglev wind turbine is a new and innovative technology that has been developed to harness wind energy efficiently. Unlike traditional wind turbines, Maglev turbines use magnetic levitation to rotate the blades without the need for mechanical bearings. This approach has several benefits, including reduced friction, lower maintenance costs, and increased durability. The Maglev wind turbine technology is still in the experimental stage, but it has the potential to revolutionize the wind energy industry by providing a more reliable and efficient way to generate electricity from wind power.
