WT03 Archimedes Wind Turbine
The Archimedes windmill is a new type of wind turbine comprising three circular blades which are wrapped around one another and then expanded.
This creates a three-dimensional conical turbine, similar to elongated shells found on the beach.
The special design ensures that wind is drawn into the turbine. The average yield is many times higher compared to a normal urban windmill propeller.

The Archimedes Screw Principle
But what's really impressive about this compact wind turbine is its design.
The Archimedes is engaged in developing small-scale wind turbine which is like a Nautilus shells.
The design aims at making the wind turbine efficient while also producing very little sound.
The company claims that urbine can generate 1,500 kWh of energy per year at wind speeds as low as 11 miles per hour.
ENM-WT04 spiral/screw-shaped rotor always points in the direction where the wind blows and converts its kinetic energy into mechanical energy.
The gadget only needs winds of 3.8 knots (2 m/s) to start rotating and producing energy.
The inspiration for the creation of WT04 seris Archimedes wind turbine comes from the famous Archimedes screw principle and the windmill, one of the most common structures in the Netherlands' landscape.
The manufacturer notes that it is more efficient than a standard propeller blade, and its low-noise operation is always kept under 48 dB.
And overall look resembles a rose and can be easily installed on the roofs of any building.
The largest model is 1.6 meters wide; the smallest is 0.6 meters wide. You can even align several units to harness more energy.

Application of Archimedes Wind Mills (AWMs) is as Wide as One can Imagination
This low cost green energy technology can provide relief to the over strained energy sources of our country
A hybrid energy control system to optimize the energy storage of wind and solar power is also under Development. The system will combine the advantages of an off-grid and grid tie system. As solar power is only produced at daytime but most energy is used at night time this calls for a smart solution.
