The Archimedes, a company based in the Netherlands, has developed a wind turbine for residential use. The model resembles a screw and its main highlight is its silent operation, not exceeding 48 dB.

The greatest and most influential innovations and discoveries in science happen when uncomplicated projects become functional objects. In this way, the company The Archimedes, from the Netherlands, developed an innovative wind turbine that can be installed in conventional homes, with the capacity to produce 1,500 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy per year at a wind speed of 5 m/s, which is 18 kilometers per hour. The equipment is named Liam F1 Urban Wind Turbine (UWT), an intelligent windmill energy generator.

To give you an idea of its scale, an average family uses about 30 kWh per day, or 900 kWh monthly and 11,000 kWh annually. Accordingly, a single Liam F1 wind turbine could supply more than 10% of the energy demands of a household in areas with medium to strong winds.

The largest model available on the market is double the size, generates more energy, reaching an average of 7.5 kWh per year, and is a wind turbine for residential use focused on supplying many homes around the world. What is truly amazing about this compact wind turbine is its innovative design.

The company responsible for manufacturing the equipment emphasizes that it is more efficient than a standard propeller blade and its low noise operation is always kept below 48 decibels (dB), making silence one of the most attractive points of the equipment, due to its blades, produced using flat sheets that create less noise.

The overall appearance of the wind turbine for residential use resembles a flower that can be easily installed on the rooftops of any building. The model, designed for installations on houses and buildings, has a diameter of only 1.5 meters.

In total, the winds turbine weighs 100 kg and the company emphasizes that the technology can be combined with other renewable energy sources, such as solar energy and electricity storage systems. The company’s ultimate goal with the wind turbine for residential use is to make homes energy autonomous by integrating other energy sources.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

BYD officially enters the semiconductor race by launching the Xuanji A3, a self-developed chip in China that reinforces the technological verticalization strategy and can reduce costs in millions of smart vehicles.

While SpaceX lands rockets as a routine, Spain wants to enter orbit with its own recoverable microlauncher; the Miura 5 emerged from a Spanish startup, gained a complex in Kourou, and aims to transform small satellites into a sovereign European market.

India tested the Agni-5 capable of carrying multiple independent warheads and, in the same round, conducted the first firing of a scramjet engine, joining a group that only the United States, Russia, and China were part of.

Canada is preparing a billion-dollar megaproject with 3.5 GW of wind energy, up to 530 turbines, green hydrogen, and ammonia for export, in a bid that could place the country at the center of the new global race for clean fuels.
