Abstract

In the midst of energy escalating costs and the risk of global warming, benefit of green technology is being focused by most of the scientist and engineer. Wind energy becomes a reliable energy source in most of the country. Wind energy categorizes as renewable energy which is an environment free. The focus of this project was designing a lighting system with magnetic levitation principle. Power generation was the main point of the project as an innovative lighting system should able to produce power for lighting system operates. VAWT was chosen as turbine to receive wind sources with appropriate reason on especially its ability to receive wind sources from different directions. However, VAWT has a problem with its starting torque, thus it was solved by application of magnetic levitation principle. The magnetic repulsive force used as a levitation force to reduce the VAWT weight. Coil wounded around a core that induced voltage was created magnetic field. It was proven by Michael Faraday on his contribution. An amount of voltage was able to generate by the system. Higher efficiencies in term of voltage generated and rotation speed able to achieve under lower wind speed conditions targeted at the better improvement of the system.
