Systems and methods for de-icing a fan of a gas turbine engine are disclosed. The systems and methods may include an electrical coil an electrical coil operatively associated with a non-rotating forward assembly of the gas turbine engine; a magnet operatively associated with a rotating surface of the fan, the magnet and the electrical coil producing electricity when the fan is in motion; and a heating element operatively associated with a surface on the fan, the heating element being powered by the electricity produced by the magnet and the electrical coil.
