| Urban wind turbine is both super-efficient and completely soundless. |
A
super-efficient and completely soundless wind turbine developed by a
Dutch company aims to enable every household to generate its own wind energy.
Officially unveiled today, the shell-shaped Liam F1 Urban
Wind Turbine offers much better efficiency compared with conventional designs.
Its shape, modelled after the perfectly logarithmic spiral of a Nautilus shell,
allows the turbine to always position itself at the best angle towards the
direction of the wind, achieving efficiency which is about 80 per cent of what
is theoretically possible.
