Archimedes 2.0
The design is based on the theory of the Archimedes. The
Archimedes windmill is a new type of wind turbine, comprising three circular blades. These are then wrapped
in one another as coils and expanded, so that there is a
three-dimensional conical turbine is created. This form is
similar to the Nautilus shell elongate well and thus mimics
the nature after (bio mimicry).

Quiet strength
The special construction ensures that wind is drawn with an effective angle of 60 degrees and the wind turned
90 degrees. The coils (sheets) Ideal in an urban environment with a lot of turbulence, because he looks so self its
own wind. Because the wind is rotated 90 degrees, the wind turbine uses almost all of the energy that is available
from the wind. As a result, there is minimal resistance and thereby produces virtually no noise, so that the minimum in sound disappears in the background noise of the city.

High efficiency
The windmill distinguishes itself not only in form but also high efficiency and low investment cost. The average
yield compared to a normal three-bladed wind turbine is considerably higher (eg due to the larger surface area of
the blades), and is therefore in terms of operation hardly be compared.

Urban Wind Turbine

The Archimedes is an innovative wind turbine design: small, silent, and affordable. Based upon the writings and methods of the Greek mathematician Archimedes the design mimics a shellfish, the Nautilidae (translated as sailor). We did 10 years research and development of the wind turbine Liam, and
the results are spectacular. Main characteristics of this innovative design are high efficiency, low cutin wind speed providing for the highest yield (W/m2)*, silent operation, insensitive to turbulence, low
maintenance, and an organic appearance. All together this wind turbine is able to generate about five
times more energy than standard wind turbines of the same diameter.
The LIAM f1 is designed for urban surroundings, making it exceptionally suitable for family homes, public and
commercial buildings, and high-rise buildings. This Dutch invention and design, therefore guaranteeing quality
and long-lasting customer satisfaction.
For many conventionally-shaped wind turbines the urban environment is a challenge. The challenge is to handle
the turbulence --a typically occurring phenomenon in urban environments caused by buildings, vegetation, and
other obstructions.
The LIAM f1 will feel at home on your rooftops. It handles turbulence like no other wind turbine. In fact, multiple
Archimedes wind turbines can be placed in close distance of each other, preferably in a triangular pattern.
Depending on your local wind conditions the LIAM will be competitive with solar panels. Under perfect conditions
the return on investment will be even higher, resulting in a shorter payback time. On average the LIAM f1 produces approximately 1433 to 1800 kWh annually (with an estimated average wind speed of 5.2 m/sec)*. As wind
speeds depend on location and altitude, wind speeds at higher altitudes will be higher.
The best way to estimate and calculate your personal payback time you can measure the wind speed at your location. This can be done with our anemometer the Archi-meter, who can give actual data about the possible wind
en sun power.
Options for grid tie-in or off-grid are available. Not always is grid tie-in possible or economical. Local laws and
limitations should be reviewed carefully and in advance.

In summary, the Archimedes LIAM urban wind turbine offers you the following advantages:
- Excellent technology, resulting in money savings by controlling your electricity bills
- High yields as a result of low cut-in wind speed
