The most powerful wind turbine?

There are many claims for being the best or the greatest it is after all human nature to be the best in what you do, but could this design be the best wind turbine ever thought of?

maglev power

It’s the Maglev Wind Turbine, and it is a thousand times more powerful than a regular wind turbine, what’s more its costs are reduced by half, while output is increased by twenty per cent. Built to last five hundred years it is safe to say that this is a long term plan.

There are strong indications that the maglev wind turbine is either a hoax or the brain product of a self delusional crackpot inventor: the corresponding website is only accessible with a password and accept for a self-contradictory press release there is no real data available. The aerodynamic design visible from the image is that of the savionus-type, which has half the aerodynamic efficiency of a modern propeller type wind turbine. Even a complete removal of friction losses (which only reduce the output by a very small percentage) that might be achieved by maglev bearings cannot compensate for this primitive design.
