  • Abstract:
  • The increasing global demand for clean and renewable energy has accelerated innovation in wind energy systems. This project presents the design and fabrication of a Magnetic Levitating Frictionless Windmill, integrating magnetic levitation (maglev) technology with a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) to enhance efficiency and reduce mechanical losses. Conventional wind turbines suffer from frictional wear due to mechanical bearings, resulting in higher maintenance and reduced efficiency. By employing magnetic levitation using neodymium magnets, this project eliminates physical contact between rotating and stationary parts, significantly reducing friction, noise, and wear. The prototype uses multiple electromagnetic coils and permanent magnets to generate electricity through Faraday’s Law of Induction. The design is optimized for low wind speeds, making it suitable for decentralized and urban applications. Simulation tools assist in modeling magnetic behavior, and the fabricated system demonstrates the feasibility of efficient, frictionless wind energy conversion. This study contributes to sustainable energy development by offering allow maintenance, high-efficiency alternative conventional small-scale wind turbines.
