Fort Worth real estate mogul Ross Perot Jr. will be among the first to use a
new alternative energy invention from a Plano-based company.

Designed to last an estimated 20 years, Mag-Wind features no gears to wear
or freeze. Its platform of aluminum sails, or wings, float on magnets. The
platform base rotates around a stabilizing, vertically fixed shaft through
its center. A circle of magnets on the inside of the base pass by a circle
of coils to create electricity. Each Mag-Wind can generate 900 to 2,000
kilowatt-hours of electricity a month, depending on the amount of wind.
That's enough to power the average household, according to Bob Thompson, CEO
of Mag-Wind. 

Production of the units begins in March.
