Tangentially related to this topic.
I heard years ago of an idea of having a horizontal wind turbine, so oriented like a helicopter, up in the air. It had to somehow self balance by adjusting the blade angle. And stay up in the air. It seemed like something that is either really hard to do, or impossible to me. I never heard about it since.
