Us Patent 8,338,976: Magnetically-Levitated Wind Turbine, Sanza Kazadi
Us Patent 8,338,976: Magnetically-Levitated Wind Turbine, Sanza Kazadi
Sanza Kazadi
A novel wind turbine configuration utilizes a permanent magnetic male and female levitation support for magnetic levitation. The novel wind turbine has a female part attached to a payload which is magnetically levitated above a male part of the levitation support. The female part and the payload are further operatively attached to a vertical axle structure which is held stationary by a point of contact. The point of contact and the vertical axle structure provide a stable axis of rotation for the payload and the female part, which can be rotated with near zero friction due to the magnetic repulsion …
Us Patent 8,149,079: Magnetically Levitated Mount, Sanza Kazadi
Us Patent 8,149,079: Magnetically Levitated Mount, Sanza Kazadi
Sanza Kazadi
A levitating mount apparatus is provided which utilizes a permanent magnetic male and female levitation support as described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,501,922. The mount has two general forms. In one general class, the mount is attached to an axle aligned with the axis of symmetry of the female part of the permanent magnetic male and female levitation support. In the second class, the female part of the permanent magnetic male and female levitations support is attached to the bottom of the mount, and no axle is utilized. The mount is stabilized using a stationary support structure which has limited …

Us Patent 7,501,922: Permanent Magnetic Male And Female Levitation Supports, Sanza Kazadi
Sanza Kazadi
A permanent magnetic male and female levitation support has a first part with a cavity and a plurality of retainment mechanisms incorporated therein, and a plurality of first permanent magnets evenly distributed around the perimeter of the cavity and held in place by the retainment mechanisms, wherein the first permanent magnets produce a first rotationally invariant magnetic field around a first axis. A second part is rigidly connected to a base and produces a second rotationally invariant magnetic field around a second axis. When the
first axis is aligned with the second axis, the first magnetic field and the …
