Believe it or not there's a reason that current wind turbines look the way they do
I used to drive past a DOE test site west of Amarillo Tx where they had dozens of various types of turbines erected and undergoing test. At any given time I'd see examples of each type in operation.

Millions of dollars have been spent testing to determine what is the optimum configuration to extract the maximum possible amount of energy from the wind.

Odd that no one is using the Archimedes screw. Wonder why?
