The Liam - Archimedes Screw Wind Turbine
Small footprint, efficient and aesthetically pleasing rooftop wind turbine.
The Liam is a small foot print, highly efficient wind turbine that answers some of the problems of traditional designs including noise and hazards to wildlife, particularly bird-strikes. Its small, aesthetically pleasing footprint make it a great candidate for homes, particularly in urban high-rise environments where the cityscape itself can contribute to increased wind speeds.
