If you were thinking of installing solar panels to generate electricity at your home, now you have a better option. Dutch company Archimedes has recently launched a silent wind turbine named Liam F1. This new technology is a great way to generate electricity in urban areas and may prove to be more efficient than solar panels. The specialty of this wind turbine is that it can fit in a small space and makes very little noise, so that it can be installed in your garden or terrace.
Liam F1 Wind Turbine: A new alternative to solar energy
The Liam F1 wind turbine is designed in such a way that it can capture wind from any direction. Its special design is like a sea conch, which makes it even more effective. No additional technology is required to set it, it automatically gets set in the right direction.
What are its features?
Liam F1 comes in two sizes – large and small. The power of the larger model is 550 watts and that of the smaller model is 100 watts. The special thing is that this wind turbine is absolutely safe for birds and bats because it makes very little noise (less than 45 dB). Its noise is so low that it can be installed even in residential areas of cities.
Why better than solar panels?
Where solar panels require direct sunlight, the Liam F1 wind turbine only needs wind, no matter which direction it comes from. This technology is not only more effective in generating electricity, but it also requires less maintenance.
Archimedes’ future plans
After the Liam F1 wind turbine, the Archimedes company also plans to design smaller wind turbines for marine vessels. Apart from this, the company is also working on creating new systems by combining solar and wind energy, which will meet the energy needs of both cities and villages.
