design scheme of wind-magnetic water heater was proposed in this paper, based on the characteristics of wind energy and the principle of eddy current heating effect. Some factors affected the vortex heat power were analyzed on an equation deduction basis. A device was designed and made for verifying the effect of some factors to the temperature rising of heating plate, including rotary speed and gap between turntable and heating plate. By regression analysis, an empirical equation was derived for guiding further development of the heating system.
