if the wind is all blowing in the same direction won't the stupid thing not turn, because the wind pushing on one sail will be counteracted by its opposing sai?
I applaud the effort but to be honest, I see a massive amount of steel used in the structure which must have cost bit, but the sails are still so close to the ground that it will never make too much power. With all that steel and the space it takes up, I really think it would be much more cost effective to make a much taller HAWT type turbine. Something that size should be spinning out of control but it is almost completely shielded from the good winds. It's too heavy to rely on light breezes.
OMG IMAGINE THAT !

yes... if you want to get min. 1KWH/ hour you need this size... not 2m diameter, 2m high

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.

how about a sail cloth drawn between two arms that get closer and further apart making the surface area larger or smaller depending on wind speed?
