Your Panels Are Worthless Now”: Silent Turbine That Gives 1500 kWh at Home Ignites Class War

[Rimmer]

 

Amidst the growing urgency for sustainable energy solutions, a groundbreaking silent wind turbine is poised to revolutionize residential power generation, challenging the dominance of traditional solar panels.

 

In recent years, as the global quest for sustainable energy continues, the introduction of innovative solutions has been crucial. Traditional silicon photovoltaic (PV) solar panels have dominated the residential renewable energy market. However, a groundbreaking development is changing the landscape: the LIAM F1 UWT wind turbine. This silent and efficient technology promises not only to complement existing solar solutions but potentially to disrupt their dominance. As we explore this new frontier, we uncover the potential for a more diverse and resilient approach to home energy systems.

 

The LIAM F1 UWT, developed by the innovative Dutch startup Archimedes, represents a new era in wind energy technology. Unlike conventional wind turbines, known for their noise and bulkiness, the LIAM F1 UWT is compact and quiet. With a diameter of just 5 feet and weighing under 220 pounds, it is designed for residential spaces where size and noise are concerns. Its spiral rotor layout allows it to capture wind from any direction, ensuring optimal power generation even in fluctuating wind conditions.

550w for the big one, and 100w for the small one isn't much.

And the price $5500 wind US Vs $60 solar.

[Bandersnatch]

I really wanted this technology to work in Thailand as wind power is stronger at night when there is no solar and also on rainy days. So I tested the wind speed on a very windy day on the third floor of my house. The results were disappointing.

 

 

 

 

 

Engineering with Rosie is a great channel if you want to know more about domestic wind power:

The government/EGAT/PEA are offering 20,000 Baht/year to land owners to have a wind turbine built on their land around  where I live.

Personally I'm not interested because of noise and access rights etc.

Unfortunately the link does not provide either the country of origin, the price nor the longevity of the device.

 

It also seems that it will work alongside existing solar panels which are actually silent in operation anyway, therefore you are gaining little, and incurring the cost of extra expense and the possibility of having to reinforce your roof to accommodate the extra weight.

 

My apologies. Having read the accompanying text it seems as though it is a Dutch firm that is developing it. I would hope that the company will train Thais in how to install and maintain the device.

Neither the OP nor the link clarifies the "class war". Who's fighting it?

 

But while the concept has merit, a quoted output of "between 300 and 2,500 kilowatt-hours (kWh) annually" is pitiful in comparison with typical solar-panel domestic installations. Taking Sydney as a sunny example, "a 5kW solar system [on a typical house] should produce, on average per day over a year, 19.5kWh per day" [based on Clean Energy Council Guidelines].

 

That's nearly 3 times the quoted maximum for the new-fangled jobbie that can hardly be quieter than a solar panel.

An interesting video, but hardly cost effective as a sole source of power in Thailand.

Yeah.

I think they have a history of doing things with windmills

Would that be indoors or outside somehow?

Did you watch the video? My third floor has no walls, just a roof.

Yes I did but I couldn't resist the joke.

It is interesting to note that an open field site would yield better results the higher the elevation the better.

Ground wind resistance is quite remarkable and your flat, open roof is just that.

Wind gets to the building, is diverted by it and it's velocity reduced.

Perhaps if your fan was turned up to a faster speed.............

[FlorC]

Can't replace solar where I live , because there is no wind.

The hour that there is a thunderstorm in rainy season is not

going to cut it.

Would like to see comparison over a range of windspeeds with current wind turbines.

[Photoguy21]

Liam will generate between 300 and 2,500 kilowatts annually

The roof was designed specifically to active the opposite of what you describe.

 

Wind speed is actually increased under the roof due to the Venturi effect. 

 

My house is passively cooled using stack effect ventilation and it's effectiveness is increased due a partial vacuum being created in the stairwell caused by the wind speed under the roof.

Sounds like a very well-designed building.

Just wondering if there where battery package included in the estimates. 

 

I can only see the prices of these fans dropping dramatically at once the Chinese starts producing them. Can’t wait, we are at a perfect location for wind in our valley. Just cant believe they are as silent as they claims.

Like it.

I expect it helps cool the house too.
