In the center fixing axis 108 which is located between the fixing axis holder 1 16 and the bolster 1 10, a plurality of windmill blade assemblies 140 in which an up and down driving connecting apparatus 127 of hollow cylinder shape is formed, is inserted as coupling the center fixing axis 108 to the hollowed part 141 a of the assembly However, the windmill blade assembly 154 located on the highest part has lower driving connecting apparatus only As shown in figure 6, the upper part of the driving connecting apparatus 127 has convex shape and the lower part of the apparatus 127 has concave shape, thereby the windmill blade assemblies 140 located on upper and lower part are coupled together, and all the windmill blade assemblies 140 rotate altogether
The material and shape of the respective windmill blade assembly 140 are same with those of the windmill blade assembly in the first embodiment of the present invention, so the explanations for that are omitted On the other hand, between the fixing axis holder 1 16 and the windmill blade assembly located on the lowest part among those assemblies, a flywheel 1 14 is formed and inserted into the center fixing axis 108 On one side part of the flywheel 1 14, a transmission 18 being transmitted the rotation force generated from the flywheel 1 14 through a belt or a chain 25 is installed And on one side of the transmission 18, a generator 28 being transmitted the rotation force from the transmission 18 through a belt or a chain 25'

fixing axis 108 The windmill blade assemblies 140 and 154 are coupled to each other by the driving connecting apparatus 127, but respective assemblies are under the repulsive force, so the assemblies are less effected by the rotation resistance According to that, the apparatus in the second embodiment of the present invention can be installed easily in indented places, for example, in mountains, seaside, and slopped ground, etc
Among the unexplained reference numerals, 141 represents a hub, 142 is an arm 143 is a hollowed hemisphere wing member, 132 is a connecting member, and 122 represents a roller bearing coupled between the center fixing axis 108 and the permanent magnet 19 in the windmill blade assemblies 140 and 154
Hereinafter, the third embodiment of the magnetic levitated electric power generating apparatus using wind force according to the present invention will be described
For some elements same with those of the first embodiment, same reference numerals are used and explanations are omitted
The apparatus in the third embodiment is formed by connecting two apparatuses in the first embodiment parallelly The two center rotating axis rotate simultaneously to the opposite direction with each other on receiving the wind force, and at the same time, the windmill blade assemblies adjoining parallelly each other rotate simultaneously to the same direction because of being connected by a belt or a rope In addition, the windmill blade assemblies adjoining vertically each other rotate simultaneously to the
opposite direction with each other
As shown in the figure 7, in a center rotating axis simultaneously driving magnetic levitated electric power generating apparatus 201 , center rotating axes 208 and 208' are coupled to the upper middle part of the rotating axis holders 216, which is located neighboring each other, to upward and vertical direction so as to be rotational

Herein, the windmill blade assemblies 240 and 250 distributed like above are disposed at a certain interval in an axial direction, because the surfaces facing each other are distributed so as to have the repulsive force 20 mutually
Therefore, the fnctional resistance between the windmill blade assembly located on the upper part and the windmill blade assembly located on the lower part is reduced, thereby the magnetic levitation force can be increased by the repulsive rotating force of the windmill Between the rotating
axis holder 216 and the windmill blade assemblies 240 and 250 located lowest part among those assemblies, the flywheel 214 is installed And on one side of the flywheel 214, a transmission 18 being transmitted the rotation force generated from the flywheel 214 through a belt or a chain 25 is installed In addition, on one side of the transmission 18, a generator 28 being transmitted the rotating force from the transmission 18 through a belt of a chain 25'
That is, the electric force productivity can be maximized by the wind force and the magnetic levitated repulsive rotating force
