It may work but from a layman's mind; it doesn't sound like it will.

Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) in addition to being
. . . . . . simpler, and
. . . . . . cheaper to build,
. . . have the following advantages:
. . . . . . They are always facing the wind – no need for steering into the wind.
. . . . . . Have greater surface area for energy capture – can be many times greater.
. . . . . . Are more efficient in gusty winds – already facing the gust
. . . . . . Can be installed in more locations – on roofs, along highways, in parking lots.
. . . . . . Do not kill birds and wild – life – slow moving and highly visible.
. . . . . . Can be scaled more easily – from milliwatts to megawatts.
. . . . . . Can be significantly less expensive to build – are inherently simpler .
. . . . . . Can have low maintenance downtime – mechanisms at or near ground level
. . . . . . Produce less noise – low speed means less noise
. . . . . . Are more esthetically pleasing – to some.
