Company Profile

Globally, commercial wind farms have been in existence since 1970’s.The current wind farm construction expansion has been fueled by increased power demand, high cost of fossil fuels, increased concern about global warming, the security of energy independence, additional income from renewable sources and limiting the dangerous waste cycle from nuclear power plants. Most existing wind farms consist of 20 kW to 2.0 MW wind mills mounted on 40’-200’ steel towers. Many of the wind mills are not operational due to attrition, lightning damage and age. Many of the units are at the end of their useful life and the cost to maintain and repair the existing units is not practical. The small amount of electricity they produce does not justify the high maintenance and repair costs. The current strategy of most wind farms is to run the operational units to failure.Many wind farms are considering wind mills based on new wind speed analysis which has been conducted over the past two years. New wind speed data was collected from new anemometers mounted at various elevations at their sites. The proposed tower size depends on geographical location, height of surrounding tree canopies and other characteristics of the topography. This data will result in generating significantly more electricity with the least number of wind turbines. Their strategy is to install the least number of units at the best possible location for the most kilowatt output that minimizes community and environmental impact. The current wind mill design has improved marginally over time. High maintenance continues to be a major factor. Most wind farms cease operation when wind speeds exceed 25 miles per hour. The average wind mill life span is under twenty years with a major TBO(to be overhauled) schedule beginning in the fifth year of operation.

Wind power is a proven and highly effective way to generate electricity. However, today’s wind mill type generators are inefficient, expensive, maintenance intense, hazardous to wildlife and require too much land. The design of the conventional wind mill has evolved into the 21st century. However, the basic science remains as old as their 16th century Dutch counterparts. If it were not for government subsidies and tax credits of all types, it would take a half a century to turn a real profit. The solution to the equation is the total transfer of the kinetic energy produced by the wind without friction. All horizontal axis wind mills use less than 1% of the available wind. A sailing vessel would never leave the dock if the sails and rigging were replaced with a large propeller attached to the mast. Initially, the wind must be captured not deflected to produce maximum power.

The Maglev Wind Turbine for commercial energy production was invented by Ed Mazur C.E.O and founder of MAGLEV WIND TURBINE TECHNOLOGIES in 2004. It is designed to generate electricity from wind power with a new standard of efficiency.

MLWTH entered a new paradigm for wind energy. MLWTH energy strategy is to provide our customers with affordable, long term manageable costs for electricity, from environmentally sound, renewable energy supplies. One option is to upgrade the existing wind farms with the newest wind turbine technology. Upgrading existing 20-year sites will allow us to take advantage of both the existing infrastructure already in place and overall support for the existing location. New wind farms will also benefit from lower construction costs and less land acquisition requirements.

Our Five Year Mission
At the end of the fourth year, a template for the standardization in construction will allow a 1GW Maglev Power Plant to be commissioned monthly.

Strategic Vision
Maglev Wind Turbines will generate 25% of the U.S. and world’s power needs by 2020.
