It’s been known that Maglev is an excellent technology for wind energy and now it became reality with the Super Powered Magnetic Wind Turbine. The Maglev doesn’t need ball bearings, the blades of the wind turbine being suspended above the machine’s base. Also, it doesn’t use electromagnets, but permanent magnets so it doesn’t need electricity, being another plus.It’s maintenance costs are also reduced due to the neodyum magnets that eliminate the energy loss through friction, also increasing the generator’s lifetime.
The Maglev wind turbines have a lot of advantages, over the conventional ones, like the operational costs reduced to 50%, generation capacity increased by 20% and the one gigawatt of power it can produce, while the conventional turbine only produces five megawatts. So only one Maglev turbine can power 750,000 homes, another advantage being it’s lifetime of 500 years. Unlike conventional turbines, it can use winds of speeds from 1.5 to 40 m/s.

cmaaan, sounds like an investment scheme

Cool, but looks expensive and time consuming to build.

Has this actually been built, or are these stats just someone’s predictions about something that may be impossible (or impossibly expensive)?

Dear sir,
We are very interested in Maglev Wind Turbin technology and want to buy and build in our country.Let me know your products and price.
Redaeds,

It looks good all except for one flaw. It says that 1 Maglev turbine is equal to 1000 Standard turbines, and the numbers show that the Maglev can power more homes. That means that either the numbers were wrong or that the Maglev was even better than 1000 homes, not equal to.

It is good for production of energy. I want to do project on it in my engg. collage. so, i want construction data for make a portable maglev. so, please mail me a suitable data which can help me in my project.

WOW!!!!!
enough said, does anyone have any details about stage in construction, expected end date, company website - if this is legit it blows anything else out of the water!!! 1GW Renewable in one building! goodbye coal
