Wind power is gradually rising to the challenge, and in the residential market, it is as popular as solar power. Meet the Liam F1 Mini Urban Wind Turbine by Archimedes – a miniature wind turbine specially developed for city use.

This small and revolutionary product delivers energy to home roofs and generates up to 1500 kWh of free electricity per year — and it is silent. The Liam F1 is quickly proving to be a strong contender for solar energy solutions and a worthy contender for solar panels for consumers who are concerned about sustainability and the environment.

    Looks like its also a helix design made for high wind, so the answer is likely yes.

    The design of the Liam F1 Mini is best suited for cities because turbulence is a characteristic of the wind within city limits. In such conditions, conventional turbines are ineffective; on the contrary, the Liam F1 is designed to perform well.

    It actually has a helix-like structure, so it can self-adjust to face the wind in the same way that a weather vane moves. These features guarantee optimal performance and power generation irrespective of fluctuating, oscillating wind conditions.

      I did read that part, but it only mentions self-adjusting the direction. It mentions nothing about furling up or any other self protective measures during dangerously high winds.
