    The document describes the process of designing, fabricating, and testing a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with magnetic levitation. It discusses the following steps: 1) Gathering wind speed data every 30 minutes for 2 days to inform simulation parameters. 2) Simulating different VAWT designs to determine the optimum design that harnesses the most energy. 3) Fabricating the optimum design using materials like aluminum, steel, and neodymium magnets. 4) Testing the turbine weekly using an electric fan to measure voltage, current, and power output at different wind speeds.

    Figure 3.1. Design Criteria

    3.2 Data Gathering

    As for measuring the wind speed, anemometers will be utilized and statistics

    will be monitored by the researchers and interpreted by the statistician. The data

    will be gathered every two days from morning to evening and will be measured

    every thirty minutes, with a duration of two minutes and the average velocity will be

    listed by the researchers. The average velocity based on the data will be used in

    simulating. As for measuring the power output, a digital multimeter will be utilized.
    22

    3.3 Simulation

    During the simulation, the researchers will use Computer Aided Design.

    They will simulate the optimum design that can harness more energy. The

    researchers will use Savonius design during the simulation while assuming a

    certain wind speed and then will use the number and angle of blades to determine

    the design with the most harnessed power. After that, the researchers will

    incorporate the optimum Savonius design with magnetic levitation design and the

    researchers will fabricate the design and place it to the researcher’s Research

    Environment.

    3.4 Fabrication

    The fabrication will be based on the optimum VAWT design during the

    simulation. Power equipment such as angle grinders, drill presses, and welding

    machines will be used by the researchers during the fabrication process. Steel

    plates, plywood, angle bars, round bars, and other materials could be utilized in

    the fabrication process. The VAWT rotor blades will be composed of AL 6061-T6

    and will be costly. Aluminum is a metal, just like steel, brass, copper, zinc, lead,

    or titanium. Aluminum has a specific weight of 2.7 g/, which is about a third that of

    steel. Aluminum has a natural oxide coating that protects it from corrosion. For

    measuring the power usage, the researchers will utilize a digital power reader as

    it is more convenient.
    23

    The researchers would use the best design that harnessed the required

    simulated output. They will use a neodymium magnet for repulsion and suspension

    since it will be powerful enough to balance the weight of the turbine.

    The researchers will use copper or winding coils to induce the voltage. The

    design works by inducing a voltage using the changing magnetic field produced by

    the magnets. The rotating magnets run through a series of coils, each of which

    produces its own voltage.

    For the design in the winding coil and magnet, the more winding in the

    winding coil and the magnet, the higher the voltage; nevertheless, increasing the

    size of the coil causes a drop in flux magnitude (Gene A., Kojo A., Adam W. 2009).

    The researchers decided that a winding coil must be placed between two attracting

    magnets. As a result, increasing the field density improves the voltage output

    significantly.

    Figure 3.2 Wind Energy Conversion Flow Diagram

    3.5 Testing

    Wind turbines convert wind's mechanical energy into electrical energy. The

    kinetic energy of a flowing fluid, which is air, is converted into a rotating motion by

    a turbine. As wind moves, it rotates the blades of a wind turbine as it passes

    through them. In case of a magnetic levitation vertical axis wind turbine, the

    rotating motion of the blades causes a magnetic field where the magnets are

    located below the body of the blades and the VAWTs base.

    As for testing the design, it will be done weekly. For testing the optimum

    design in VAWTs in terms of its output performance in voltage, flow current and

    maximum capacity, the researchers will use an electric fan to utilize its wind as an
    25

    alternative of wind power. For measuring the voltage and current output of the

    VAWTs design, a digital multimeter or voltmeter/ammeter will be utilized.

    The researchers will place the VAWTs and the electricfan at different

    distances and power. However, an anemometer will be also utilized in measuring

    the wind speed before testing of the turbine. It is important to measure the wind

    speed first to determine the difference of the output produced at different distances

    and power. After determining the voltage and current output, the researchers will

    determine the maximum capacity of VAWTs design using Ohm's Law Formula.

    The spikes on the data on day two and three are due to high velocity winds

    caused by sudden rainfall and strong winds. The listed windspeed does not include

    the maximum and minimum windspeed under the duration of two minutes.
