“Generally speaking, there is a difference in pressure in front and behind of the rotor blades of a windmill. The inventor of the turbine, Marinus Mieremet, says that the power output is 80 percent of the theoretical maximum energy that could be harnessed from the wind. The design allows it to point into the wind to capture the most amount of energy, while also producing very little sound. He also invented the screw pump and the compound pulley. The Liam F1’s blades are shaped like a Nautilus shell. The shape of the blades pays tribute to Archimedes, the noted Greek scientist credited with leading the way toward the mathematical power of calculus. That would be enough to cover half of an average household’s energy needs. The company says its Liam F1 turbine can generate 1,500 kWh of energy per year at wind speeds as low as 11 miles per hour. It is building a new small-scale wind turbine - one that is almost silent and is far more efficient at converting wind into energy. But according to Off Grid Quest, a small rooftop wind turbine may change all that.Ī Dutch renewable energy startup called The Archimedes is working to solve both of those problems. Also, they create more noise than most homeowners are comfortable with. Until now, small wind turbines that are sized for residential and urban areas have produced a power output that is too low for a reasonable return on investment through energy savings for all but a few people. Yes, that record was established over a rather windy 24-hour period, but it is remarkable all the same. In July, Denmark produced 140% of its domestic energy from just such turbines, according to The Guardian. We usually associate wind power with tall wind turbines located in remote locations or far out to sea. Wind power is a major source of renewable electric power in many places around the world.
