    Never measured one, reports at the time were:
      poor, lower than conventional, bladed, turbines.
    Some accounts have it that purchasers were required
    to pay before testing....
    My simplistic approach:
      since the patent is long expired, if its not in use,
      there is a reason.

    Depends on why it is being built.
     If 'for fun': why not?  Its been done.
