When they ’re standing out in a field , miles aside from crowded urban centers , the sounds made by a malarky turbine ’s blades are n’t a big issue . But when they ’re perched atop a downtown edifice , they create racket pollution that ’s backbreaking to ignore . A Rotterdam - based fellowship might have find a resolution , though , with a unique turbine designpartially based on Archimedes ’ celebrated screw ticker .
Instead of moving water system , the Liam F1 Urban Wind Turbine , which actually looks like a cross between a piece of tail ticker and a nautilus shell , efficiently and quietly turns snap into electricity . How efficiently ? Traditional windmills boast an efficiency maxing out around 50 percentage , but the creators of the Liam F1 consider theirs can reach upwards of 80 percentage of the maximum possible energy yield .
The Liam F1 ’s deficiency of long blade slice through the air allow it to operate at much quieter levels , and it works not unlike a weather wind vane so that it ’s always automatically facing into the nothingness no matter which direction it blows . And with a restrained breeze a single unit of measurement is supposedly able to make half the Department of Energy used in the average nursing home .
So while each Liam F1 Urban Wind Turbine will cost just over $ 5,400 when they ’re formally usable set off in January , it ’s a long - terminus investment funds that should result in considerable saving on your monthly might banker’s bill if they perform as well as The Archimedes claims they do .
