bla bla bla bla, I was already convinced when I saw it's Dutch, but where do I buy one? How much does it cost? All practical info ABSENT, nice way NOT to make a market for yourselves 😞
Oh my God. what kind of noodles for morons. What kind of idiot do you have to be to believe this stupid marketing crap?
one piece costs about $10,000 to $15,000. Thus is mind blowing.

С увеличением размеров лопастей, увеличивается сила крутящего момента (давление на вал). Хотите умножить обороты, вашему генератору, через редуктор - увеличивайте размеры лопастей, соответственно (и толщину вала). Удачи всем!
Based on Australian current energy costs similar in Europe, 1500 kw/h per year it will take you about 10 years with no maintenance costs added to make it pay for itself.
My average home electric energy usage is 500 kwh per month. Since that is way more than most households use, 1500 kwh per year should do very well for the vast majority of homes.
But 1500 kwhr per YEAR divided by 12 months is only 125 kwhr per month. You would need to buy several of these at $5000 each!!! No, not reasonable.
@@MrSummitville $5000 is for the smaller model. Larger ones come in at $20,000. Well and truely heavily marked up over production costs. That said, the ones made in India are starting at $1,700 for AWM750D which is better, AWM1500D for $3,200.
We seriously need our governments to stop subsidizing fossil fuels and start subsidizing renewable energy projects like this.
@@eyesofthecervino3366 Agree but subsidizing this not a good investment. Total cost of the turbine will not be recouped in the lifetime of the device in almost all situations. Better off to build a large windfarm and give people free energy than to give them this device for free.
4:03 Well, isn't that typical! When some office person gets tools in their hands, pretending to do work on the item, but he miserably fails, using the wrong tool dimension. So this guy is demonstrating that he doesn't have a clou ... So funny! Thank you!
Oh my God. what kind of noodles for morons. What kind of idiot do you have to be to believe this stupid marketing crap?
I like seeing new innovations in propellers, the new boat prop’s case in point. I wonder how that design would work for wind turbines?
Yes, they make them already, and they are more efficient, for just the same reasons you expect. They are also very expensive to make, cost a lot more, and you'd have to make them really BIG to make them efficient enough to make a wind farm, which nobody has tried yet. For smaller residential applications, they could work well, but we'll have to wait a few years to see if they emerge as leaders in the area. Installing a wind turbine still requires more wind than you can get in most places, so it's still only limited to windy areas.
it's not an innovation, it's a scam... that work poorly. 17W.
I would imagine it wouldn't. Just think of the wind turbines we have now. They fixed them so they will not spin out of control without the help of brakes in really bad wind storms just by spinning the blades so the wind passes by them without catching the wind. These would be impossible to do that by design and a disaster just waiting to happen in the first heavy wind storm.
Oh my God. what kind of noodles for morons. What kind of idiot do you have to be to believe this stupid marketing crap?
Can this propeller be used as a ship propeller? Does it prevent cavitation?
In the UK we have little sun and loads of wind...I have seen a few solar panel rooves but no home wind turbines...This looks good for a country like the UK...I hope they become cheap enough for them to be feasible
You do know that the solar panel works even when its cloudy outside right? ( Not at max efficiency but still works)
@@DanielCardeiSolar doesn’t work well enough in overcast areas to make installing them worth it.
Oh my God. what kind of noodles for morons. What kind of idiot do you have to be to believe this stupid marketing crap?
@@DanielCardei And you know, you ass. that a panel in the UK produces 2.3 times less per year. than a windmill.
@@lunchplateboy obviously you dont have any
can't figure out why you would make an either/or comparison to solar when I see them as a team that would make both better together when storage is included.
Can't recall seeing a plane with Archimedes screws instead of propellers. I wonder if they've built a scale model. They should be able to measure the efficiency of their design versus traditional blades.
La vibration et l'oscillation semblent énormes. Juste comme ça, pour l'usure.
Looks good but I do wonder how it would cope with severe weather, and how it compares cost wise with solar?
Good question. Maybe during storms it would have to be facing the cone in the wind direction? But then the "changes in the right direction automatically" claim is kinda moot. It will also have to compensate for having no adjustable blades and no constant speed or momentum of long torqued blades.
Problem with solar is you have only utilization of charging half the day and then are limited by the intensity of day.....i have a solar system with battery and days on end of bad weather you slowly decrease the overall kilowatts generated...battery levels never hit 100%.....you have a windy area then a combination of wind and solar is better all round. Wind is what I am looking for a small gen to take up the fall off daylight loss. THink all night while you sleep the wind has been blowing and giving 500 watts per hour....to assist the solar.
I think it'll be a competition between cost of the F1 and solar plus storage. this could be a good option for off gride or areas where there's extended periods of lower solar generatipon. Solar is sop cheap adding extra panels is a good option, especially if you combine with use shifting so that you say run the washing machine, dishwasher when solar is generating, maybe pre cool or heat your home too. As batteries get cheaper having larger solar systems will becopme a better optionb
I live in The Netherlands and also have solar panels. Our government is planning on reducing and even removing the 'netting' of power generation vs power consumption. In other words: Right now any power surplus we push into the grid during spring and summer we can take back in winter when there is little sun available. Our government wants people to get rid of the usage of gas. Removing the 'netting' (aka in Dutch as "Salderen") is a very bad sign for solar panel owners. We get suggestions like "Do your washing in daytime when then sun shines, or basically everything that uses electricity when the sun shines". That does not work in the winter period and if you come back home from your job it's already dark. I have mostly electrified the utilities in the house, except the shower. This Archimedes Windturbine would be the perfect asset to have during autumn and winter period, in times when we have more clouded weather and more wind as well. So what is the price of ONE unit? And if asked, can multiple units be installed? I love the idea of electric heating, showering, cooking and use no gas at all anymore. Especially in the winter period. This turbine would be a bless. (the only exception would be cold clear nights with -10C and no wind lolzz).
Indeed it would be good to know the efficiency of this unit compared to others. I was disappointed to learn this week, that a solar panel installed near Geneva, will only produce 20% in January, compared with July. It seems that we need to consider multiple sources when generating power?
They want you to buy batteries ... one suggestion is to use the excess energy and pump water upstream and when you need the energy on a cloudy day let the dam loose. The "net" is put back into the dam upstream.
The larger one sounds like it would pay for itself quicker but what is the maintenance costs?
Here in my house in Brazil I have a photovoltaic system using solar panels that produces IN A MONTH 1500 kWh. The same energy as he turbine proposes generates in a year. Just 22 solar panels + 1 inverter conected on grid. The cost? Here in Brazil (2023, december) around € 6.000 or U$ 7.000,00.
How about the batteries.
@@vyronperellis8125 the system is on-grid. It's connected on the grid and don't need and don't use batteries.
Does anyone know where I can get a quote for the Liam F1 so I can speak to someone in order to determine what is required to integrate the wind turbine into my existing solar panels and batteries?
You can either complete the price request form on their website (thearchimedes.com/contact) or send them email (info@thearchimedes.com)
Thankyou for your help
I like the idea of wind turbines but can an open cage be put around the blades to keep birds out of it? Haven't seen this issue discussed!
I suspect it would be less of a big deal for a compact wind turbine like this than for ones with enormous blades whipping wildly fast through the air at birds' soaring elevations.
J’aimerai bien avoir ça chez moi.
The energy which can be extracted from moving air is determined by the swept area and its velocity, and no fancy designs are going to change that.
Yes, the swept area and its velocity plus turbine effeciency. Betz’s law states that no turbine is capable of capturing more than 16/27 (59.3%) of the wind’s kinetic energy. This "fancy design" gets closer to the Betz’s coefficient because more kinetic energy is extracted across the sweep area. The design is great, but the price is too high. $5,000 for the Korean made standard model, drops to $3,200 for the Indian made model.
@@haroldnowak2042No, it is *NOT* higher efficiency vs 3 blade wind turbines.
Que velocidade essa turbina precisa para funcionar e produzir energia?
Are they available in the US? If so, where do I get some?
Can I built a smaller unit on my speedpedelec 45 k/h and load my battery with it?
At $5,000@, it difficult to see how it can beat solar panels that produces 5X electricity at the same cost. One can mitigated sunless days by augmenting solar w/ batteries, or having it grid-tied
@@karlwithak. $5000 is the cost, not $200. Solar panels that cost $200 can generate $225 worth of electricifu in a year

Pl provide information for cost one wind energy model for home purpose watt it produces In hour send all detail.where from it purchase in India thank u
I think your math is off. 1500 kilowatt hours is 1000 watts (1 KW) X 1500 = 1,500,000 watts. One and a half million watts? Not from that little generator. I think perhaps you meant 1.5 kw or 1500 watts per hour.
That's exactly why I stopped watching the video. Sounds fake.
The narrator says in a YEAR. That's just 4.109 kWh a day, or 171 Wh every 60 minutes.
That's not much.@@mnomadvfx
It’s per year! 😂 Jesus
Yeah, I figured that out, but I'm still right. That little generator isn't putting out much. Around 171 watts per hour. Couldn't run a toaster on that.@@DoraExplores010
I tried to purchase but the company hasn't responded for years. I think they suspended production because to work it requires a very powerful wind like it only has in Holland. Anyone have any good news on the purchase? Thank you.
I want one like that on the Cape .. we get winds almost all the time ... and a small turbine would work wonders... tie it into the grid I'll suck back what I gave them when I need it.
how does the breaking system work?
Hola como se llama este tipo de helice o aspa ? Gracias
How many electricity units will it generate yearly at wind speed 2 metres per second
It's remarkable to notice that the US typical home cosumption is almost the triple than italian typical home (approx. 3500 kWh per year).
The USA has extremely cold weather in the northern latitudes and extremely hot and humid weather in the southern latitudes. Italy has a mild climate. Also, the USA has many all electric homes - no natural gas used for cooking, hot water, dryer or home hearing.
@@MrSummitville The USA uses the most power per household at the same annual temperature for anywhere in the world. Luxury living may be.
Are you saying 1500 watts Annually or 1500 watts continuous? Jeff
*Every home actually require 3000watt/day to run the lightings and other appliances efficiently. So one of this is sufficient to cater for all the needs.*
You mean 30kWh a day?
@@landmanp They said this turbine generates 1500 kWh per year. It's been reported that a normal size home would be 29 kWh per day which is close to 10,500 kWh per year. One turbine is one seventh of the needs.
@@patrickcorliss8878 yes exactly. The timing of the generators we have don't seem to align with our needs either.
3 kwh/day@@landmanp
What is the min. And max. Air speed ?
By the way, in case someone doesn't know, windmills, like many other technologies, were borrowed by Europeans from the Chinese, who used windmills and watermills many centuries earlier than Europeans began to use them.
owszem, wszyscy o tym wiemy bo sie uczymy historii Chin, ( czy w Chinach uczą historii Europy? ) ale mozna powiedziec, ze jest rowniez odwrotnie, Zachod ulepszyl wynalazki chinskie, a Chinczycy zaczeli korzystac z wielu wynalazków zachodniej rewolucji przemysłowej dopiero po wieluset latach, poza tym nadal korzystaja z patentów zachodnich, jezeli chodzi o licytacje "kto jest lepszy" i "kto byl pierwszy" to lepiej zostawic to dzieciom w piaskownicy i wspolnie pracowac nad cywilizacja II poziomu. pozdrawiam z Polski.

*All practical tests show that small wind turbines hardly generate any electricity. And only at costs above 1$/kWh!* There is hardly any wind near the ground. And it is also very gusty, which extremely reduces the service life of the systems. *With small solar systems, you can reliably generate electricity for about 7-12 cents/kWh over a period of 25 years!*
Understood thanks. It seems to me that we need a way to generate electricity in phase with our needs, or phase our needs to our power generation? A hybrid approach perhaps?
One thing to keep in mind is that if it is tied to the grid then I will get that back which means I need a hybrid system; solar and wind... maybe cost too much then... ;)
What speed of wind drives this wind turbine?
It works well on a small scale where materials are light. But at the scale of 50 meters the materials necessary to build it would need hurricane force winds to move it. An interesting concept, but not on earth.
I would like a much smaller version to power my boat electrics. About 50 Watts.
50 watts? You can nearly reach that by putting a bicycle on a boat and peddle that amount together. 🙂
@@Snowwie88 Most modern solar panels are over 300W so even on a cloudy day 50W isn't that much. As perovskite or silicon/perovskite hybrid panels come into use those values will only go up, and concentrator optics will increase it further still. IMHO I wouldn't want a wind turbine anywhere near me where I can get swatted or cut by it in motion. They are best high above our heads on rooftops, or even better on towers where the wind will be encountering less resistance from rooftops and the tree line.
Lots of good information here BUT the one major comparison you did not make is COST.
This design costs $4,500 USD.
Thanks for pointing out the cost which I unfortunately forgot to include.
@@wolfenstein6676 $4,500 for 1 turbine ??!?! I think not 😂
that's why he forgot to include😁@@mnomadvfx
Good luck good working
where ca n you buy one?
Biggest issue here is the price, at least where I am living. It's about 5450$ and electricity cost about 16cents where I live. (I already have a 7kw solar) I am also in an area with trees so at best I would make 400-600kwh a year. That is less than 100$ of savings annually so it would take me over 50 years to make the money back on this investment. (Backfeeding into the grid nets you only 1/2 of the cost, so 8cents per kwh)
One turbine is what, 5000 dollars when I was searching. So for the same as 4kw solar panel = 5000 x 4= 20 000 dollars.. Dont know for you but 4kw solar panel in my country it's something like 10 000 dollars at most so it's twice the price for the same kwh annually.
GREAT
Se puede usar un calentador de agua con eso?
I believe the claim 1500KW per year is more of a sales pitch to the general population rather than a true indicator of this small generator’s performance. 1500 Watt/hours is not bad, enough to supply one branch circuit or one small appliance circuit @ 15amps IF the small generator can supply the proper Volt-Amps. I would buy the generator 👍
That's a Onipko rotor generator invented by a Ukrainian engineer some time ago and Austrian and German windturbines manufacturers are trying to put onto the market. This windturbine operates at low wind speeds of 2.5 mps . The inventor had a mock up rig next to a Austrian windturbine on the pole his invention was turning but the Austrian one was not they were shocked and as I said the above .
Thanks for the insightful comment.
@@renewedenergyhi can you share your email ID?

1500kw based on avereage wind spped of 5mph. Thats sounds suss. Its mentioned it starts turning at 3.8 knots - thats 4.373 mph. I'm guessing it needs to be really winding to get it to generate a decent amount.
I think you'll find it said 1500 kWh per year.
Any tips for small turbine???
Unfortunately, this also has a cutout speed of something like 35 mph. That would be a quiet day in our coastal community.

I have a solar system on my house but I've come to question a lot of stuff being disseminated. For example: has anyone considered the unintended consequences of huge numbers of wind turbines (of any size) taking enetgy out of the wind? Take for example the numbers of wind turbines that are supposed to be built across the US. The wind has kinetic energy that hits the blades of a turbine, turning it BUT the wind leaving the turbine IS SLOWER and has changed temperature a tiny amount. It's too small to matter you say? But when there's tens of thousands of giant turbines and hundreds of thousands of small residential ones the effects aggregate into something significant. Remember, a single cars exhaust was considered negligible until there were millions of them. SO, how is the weather going to be affected downstream of these wind turbines? NO ONE KNOWS! What's going to happen on the East coast of the US if the wind is slower? Is it going to effect rainfall? Go ahead, blow me off, say I don't know what I'm talking about but you'd be wrong, just as so many times in the history of this planet groups charged ahead and discounted warnings.
Thanks for sharing these valuable points. I can see a lot of questions you asked. I kind of agree with you that a lot of these potential issues need to be addressed. Every thing in life have advantages and disadvantages and in most cases there has to be some compromises. While I love renewable energy, I also believe a lot of work and research need to be done to address some of the potential issues that comes from some of the renewable energy sources. Your line about 'cars exhaust ....until there were millions of them' got me thinking that you have a strong point.
Anything standing in the wind takes energy from it, from a blade of grass to mountain range.
@@MichaelsCrazy yes, and mountain ranges change the weather downstream of them. A belt of giant wind turbines stretching across the Great Plains from north to south as planned will do what to the east coast of the US? Unless you've researched the downstream effects, and know that they are not significant in mass numbers, are you qualified to comment with such banality?
When in Oklahoma they took out all trees and wind breaks and it caused the dust bowl in the 19 thirties
Just forget all the garbage to discover and appreciate the value of traditional fossil fuels!
Where to buy one
A reality, of tomorrow .
Now put a giant 60 degree velocity stack in front of it and got a 100% efficiency. Or more
Excellent.
Its available in india now sir 🎉
This design was already around 15 years ago. Problem: a nice shape a nice name don’t make up for efficiency. Efficiency of a windmill will always be related to the frontal area to the wind covered by the device, which in that regard is no breakthrough. Then there’s the added weight to put in rotation, the added drag due to the fancy shape. I just hope that they, at least, believe in their product, that it is not again something to exploit the credulity of people!
This content is exceptionally insightful. A book I recently explored on this topic profoundly changed my outlook. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

How to purchase in india ?
Can anyone please explain why there is such a rush to find alternatives to the subterranean fuels we currently use to escape poverty, socialism and communism?. What do you fear from what we are doing now and in the past because if it is fear of warming the planet you can all relax because there is no melting of the polar regions to the extent most are told by supposed experts who always get things wrong. The December 2023 Arctic sea ice extent has been the highest it has been in over a decade and that happened during the hottest year on record which obviously could not occur if the planet has warmed as claimed by some. I would be very interested in finding answers to my simple questions and I hope the relevant experts will be able to answer them, thank you and Happy New Year to you.

Suppose it's winding half of the time, it should be a 300 watts windmill.
Exactly, the narrator is taking the solar installation at the lower end of its output. Taking the wind turbine at the ideal and the solar at the low end is not a fair comparison at all, especially as the solar panels are silent, as 40+ dB will be easily audible on an otherwise quiet day.
This turbine works great together with solar panels. Electricity is produced by the sun during the day and by the wind at night.
Typically, it is LESS windy at night. At $5000 each, these are a financial disaster.
@@MrSummitville At $5000 is for the smallest model. Try $20,000 for a larger model. That said, the ones made in India are starting at $1,700 for AWM750D which is better, AWM1500D for $3,200.

You will need to contact the company via their email. info@thearchimedes.com I contacted them to find out more information. I share their full response in this video. kzhead.info/sun/ftxwh8WFe5WalIk/bejne.htmlsi=vFHPurW9PvqE0HkJ
I worked with an engineer in the industry once, he laid it out how it works. Neither the panels or the turbines contribute a single stable volt to the grid. Not one.
And man will never fly.
But the grid is not a stable flat line either. With the installation I'm putting in I have no intention of supplying anything to the grid, just going to use it and batteries to smooth out my power needs. Matching solar panels to predictable needs, saves on the amount of batteries needed, useful back up for when the grid goes down too. I guess that engineer has never heard of smoothing?
Game changer? No way.
@4:00 45W, well, we get it.
Heavy stuff 24v 45 w, connect a battery and it will stop
This is really a durrrrrrr moment. All those trucks closing roads off to get single turbine blades to a turbine which has three, & then all the other turbines & they need to be huge. And now we are stuck with them. Let's hope they cease production of conventional wind turbines in light of these 👍
So a average 170wats per hour... Compard to a top performong solar panel i know 550kw per hour but in reality the average per hour over a year sue to weather and night time is more like 180-200kw average per hour over a year Its good and has the benifits of running at night but there are still times of low wind. Still gonna need good energy storage solutions for a consistent reliable source of power
This has been vaporware for a long, loooooong time. Have ANY of these been delivered yet? All for it -- in the Real World.
Might just not be available in our countries. There's another comment down here mentioning how much they cost in India, so it seems they're available in some places, at least.
