The unique feature of these yet-to-be turbines is their weight.

And because the wind turbine encounters minimal resistance, it is virtually silent.”Ī week after the market introduction of the Liam F1, the startup launched a crowdfunding campaign to develop two mini marine wind turbines for sailing ships. We do not require expensive software: because of its conical shape, the wind turbine yaws itself automatically into the optimal wind direction. Even when the wind is blowing at an angle of 60 degrees into the rotor, it will start to spin. This results in a much better performance. The difference in pressure is created by the spatial figure in the spiral blade. However, this is not the case with the Liam F1. Mieremet: “Generally speaking, there is a difference in pressure in front and behind of the rotor blades of a windmill.

The shell's inspirational form has led not only to a pleasing looking electricity generator but also one with a high yield. And we succeeded in applying these laws into the design of our windturbine.” Natural beauty always follows the laws of the golden ratio. Mieremet: "Calculations on natural forms such as the nautilus shell almost always lead to the golden ratio. He studied the works of engineer Archimedes and was inspired by the ancient Greek's interest in natural forms especially that of the Nautilus shell. The turbine is designed by the company's CTO Marinus Mieremet. With its design based on a nautilus shell it noiselessly generates electricity which makes it suitable for residential use. The Dutch startup The Archimedes launched the Liam F1, a mini wind turbine with a 1,5 KW output generator.
