A Research and Development company in the Netherlands, the Archimedes, has officially released its new wind turbine – the Liam F1 – at the RDM Campus in Rotterdam.

The company’s press release says that its performance is “unequalled” in its sector. Its screw design uses all of nature and theoretics to get the best results possible – it automatically places itself in the right position to achieve its potential. The Liam has little resistance, is virtually silent and can be installed anywhere!

The turbine measures 1.5m (5ft) wide, 1.5m in length, 2m in height and 75kgs. Its cork-screw design lends from the Nautilus shell and from the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes.

The Archimedes said, “”The Liam F1 generates an average of 1,500 kilowatt-hours of energy [per year] at a wind-speed of 5 m/s [16.4 ft/s], which resembles half of the power consumption of a common household.” The company says the unit has been tested over 50 times to ensure they facts and figures are correct.

They have already solar around 7 000 of these wind turbines in 14 countries before their official release this past Tuesday. They are said to cost around AU$5 900 and will be on the market as of the 1st July 2014.

The Liam F1 is said to have an energy yield that is “80 percent of the maximum that is theoretically feasible.” There are hopes that as a result of this revolutionary design, wind turbines will be spotted in residential areas just as commonly as solar panels.
