Development of a small wind power generator using permanent magnet attractive type passive magnetic bearings

This study aims to develop a magnetically levitated vertical axis wind turbine capable of achieving stable power generation performance. By adopting a vertical axis design and implementing a magnetic levitation mechanism-wherein the rotor is suspended through the application of electric current to the top-mounted coil-the constraints associated with installation locations can be significantly reduced, offering greater flexibility compared to conventional horizontal axis wind turbines.
