| |  | Magnetic Wind Turbines | Or (magnetic levitating) generators are the way forward for the wind generator industry.
Magnetic wind turbines, can be used in slower winds, have less resistance and last longer due to less wear and tear.The largest benefit is that this type of wind generator will be able to produce electricity at less than one penny per kilowatt.

| Magnetic wind turbines are generally vertical axis machines that are suspended with magnets above the base. This means there is no wear and tear on ball bearings as there would be with other non-magnetized models.
The turbines generally employ "neodymium" or rare earth magnets that don't require electricity to work as would systems equipped with electromagnets. One of the advantages of magnetic wind turbines is that there is little energy loss due to friction.
Since the magnets repel each other and never touch, this means that they can start turning and generating electricity in very low wind speeds (3 mph). Magnetic wind turbines also work well in higher wind speeds at over 80 mph whereas other turbines may automatically shut down to avoid damage.
