Really exciting! And if (when) something fails on this design, the falling parts are (comparatively) light and so less dangerous than the big mills. No gearbox and no tower means (much) less cost, easy to repair, more reliable. The flying version needs a long term lighter than air craft, and that may be an expense / issue, but the canyon span type seems unstoppable.
though I think that getting that to the stratosphere might be a really hard challenge and you'll surely will find many restrictions. But I like your attitude... aim high! =)

You could also span this between tall nuilings. the updraft would create massive ammounts of energy

WORLD RECORD: BIGGEST WIND TURBINE
Visit: windturbinecarriedbywheels.weebly.com
ZERO-NOISE from gears and generators since they're sealed underground.
SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS since the turbines are slow-moving.
DOES NOT NEED TO OCCUPY A WIDER LANDSCAPE since the turbine can be very tall.
MAY BE LOWER-COST since it can use parts of junked trucks and others.
ELUDES HURRICANE FORCE since the blades automatically close.
HELPS THE WIND ENERGY COMPANIES since it is FREE FOR ALL.

very nice design, but that looks like one hell of a bird mincer!

Those black blades are from Thermodyne and dangerous. Black recycled plastic from China, get rid of those Doug.They break all the time.
