A helium lift balloon will need refreshing because helium leaks out of everything, even mylar. If the wind is consistent, maybe you can use some electricity from the generator to run a heater for a hot air balloon.
They both look like good designs to me. But I'm curious, how was the cylindrical red balloon failing? Had you built a prototype and been unable to get it to work? My worry with the second design is the total weight of the frame. Even with very light materials, it's still a lot of pieces.
@wware Hey, thanks. Use hydrogen. generate it on the ground and send a continuous supply to the balloon by a tiny plastic tube. Hydrogen is free and not a danger since none is stored on the ground. The red design needs specially shaped balloons which are hard to make or repair.

WORLD RECORD: BIGGEST WIND TURBINE
Visit: windturbinecarriedbywheels.weebly.com
ZERO-NOISE from the gears and the generators because they are sealed underground (Only the outer parts of the turbines may be heard.).
SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS because the turbines are slow-moving since the speed is in the transmission gears and in the generators.
DOES NOT NEED TO OCCUPY A WIDER LANDSCAPE because the turbine can be very tall.
HELPS THE WIND ENERGY COMPANIES because it is FREE FOR ALL.
