I've always felt that the big or even giant wind turbines with blades the size of a 747 just didn't look right. Sure, they create a lot of electricity, but are long, skinny albeit huge blades the best way to capture the wind's potential? The blades are thin at the tips and get thicker near the axis. For maximum leverage, it should be just the other way around. The blades then could be made smaller but could do the same amount of work.

WORLD RECORD: BIGGEST WIND TURBINE
Visit: windturbinecarriedbywheels.weebly.com
ZERO-NOISE from gears and generators since they are sealed underground.
SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS since slow-moving.
DOES NOT NEED TO OCCUPY A WIDER LANDSCAPE since the turbine can be very tall.
MAY BE LOWER-COST since it may use timber and other cheaper things.
ELUDES HURRICANE FORCE since the blades automatically close.
NO FIRE since well-cooled.
HELPS THE WIND ENERGY COMPANIES since it is FREE FOR ALL.

Ive never seen a turbine like that in the fields

What an inspirational design. I wonder how well the magnus effect would work on a vertical axis wind turbine.

True genius.
And it's simple. That's important. Gotto keep it simple.
I'm thinking give the spiral blades magnetic bearings and you're good to go.
