China debuts world's first permanent magnetic suspension wind power generator

Although wind power is a great choice for clean, renewable energy, the space windmill farms take up is an often-cited problem, but Chinese scientists may have overcome the problem with the debut of the world's first permanent magnetic suspension wind power generator, which can hang in out-of-the-way areas of towns and cities, and still create power during low wind speeds.
The world's first permanent magnetic suspension wind power generator debuted in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province on December 26.
Its cost is only one tenth of the traditional wind power generator.
Moreover, it can generate power by utilizing breeze, that is to say, wind of lower speed in cities can also be used to generate power.
In the past, wind power generators can be only built in the fields with large amount of wind.
Experiments show that under the same condition of wind speed, a permanent magnetic suspension wind power generator can generate 20 percent more power compared with a traditional power generator.
China's coastal and western areas are abundant in wind resources, so they can build wind power plants on large scale in the future.
As permanent magnetic suspension wind power generators have advantages in using wind of low speed to generate power, they will be mainly used in two sectors in the future: urban street lamp, speedway, sightseeing lamp system, and large-sized power grids.
