New model of hybrid turbine with magnetic levitation, used by the company Jaoan Solar, based in Paraná, is developed in Brazil. Betting on a system that unites solar and wind sources, the project brings innovations in terms of technology.

The material used in this new model of hybrid turbine with magnetic levitation made in Paraná, it is a material that is currently used a lot, it is named one of the elements that will revolutionize the technological industry as a whole due to its lightness, resistance, flexibility and transparency, beyond of being a great conductor of electricity, which is graphene. In view of this, the equipment remains without mechanical and electrical loads, which causes the continuous production of energy. At first, the proposal is to serve the national market, covering several areas and types of application of this new model of water turbine, with magnetic levitation in Brazil, to later try to expand the product abroad.

Some of the special characteristics of the turbine are:

  • It works under the MagLev system of magnetic levitation, as this technology needs lower wind speed for nominal production.
  • It has a traditional alternator.
  • It creates an electric magnetic field and a potential differential, generating electrical energy.
  • It works by levitation and uses the same technology as the bullet train.

The bet of this turbine is that with the use of the MagLev alternator and graphene, as it contains fewer components, it will have almost no maintenance. Graphene is sought after by the four corners of the world through research to discover most of its properties, however, very few have managed to make its application. However, the Titan MagLev system is one of the first products to achieve functionality.

One of the highlights of the project was the discovery that the new hybrid turbine model with magnetic levitation needs about a third of the wind capacity to make the turbine nominally rotate. The graphene element added to the turbine's electrical control system is capable of sending information that nothing is connected to it to the MagLev alternator. So, if I don't have a charge, it works free, and any wind can turn the alternator almost without stopping.

One of the great advantages of the hybrid turbine with magnetic levitation is that it has a vertical turbine system, which is very beneficial because it was designed to be used in both rural and urban areas. Whether in any space, big or small. In places where drought is most often the reality, its application will also be possible.

It's not just a project! The pilot project has already been optimized at the Foundation for Scientific and Technological Development (Fundetec), in Paraná, and starting this week, in Curitiba, production on an industrial scale will begin. After checking and testing, the approvals and certifications will be issued so that it can later be installed throughout the national territory.
