Meet LIAM — a mini windmill for home Bashny.Net

OPU


Rotterdam company Archimedes (Archimedes) has created a small windmill that can be installed on almost any wall and the roof, because of its small size and weight. Liam F1 small wind turbine with a diameter of 1.5 meters and weighing about 100 pounds. In the Netherlands he will have to generate an average of 300 to 2500 kWh per year at wind speed of 4.5 m/s. In the Netherlands, the wind mostly blow in the direction of the South-West. Therefore, the wind speed will depend on the specific situation, location of the roof.

If you consider that the average family in the Netherlands consumes about 3,300 kWh (kilowatt hours) per year, with Archimedes half the power consumption can be generated by itself. Liam F1 effectively when the wind speed of 4.5 m/s. If the average will be less than 4.5 m/s, it is necessary to place the mill respectively, thus, to be able to get the required power. This mill can get wind about 80% of the energy.

Liam is a small device, quiet and affordable. It produces more decibels than the urban background noise and, therefore, he merges with him. Not more than 45 dB in working condition. (50 decibels of rain, the sound in the forest). The wind turbine rotates itself, no complex systems are required.

It is possible to place several wind turbines in a triangular roof. Each mill operates by itself and does not interfere with others. They catch the wind as it makes large turbine. In addition, it is possible to combine them with solar panels.

Liam F1 is specifically designed for the urban environment with turbulence, he doesn't need a long pole, enough that it protruded a bit above the façade/the roof. It can also be supplied in any color, to not stand out. It will be necessary to clarify the license, size. For he developed three systems, and there are many grant opportunities available for consumers and businesses. There is also Liam-mini with a diameter of 75 cm.
