I remember seeing a turbine called the WindHog, cant seem to find anything on the Internet about it any more.

It was a massive machine, basically your design. It had a very low rpm, but had massive torque. Apparently it could power 100kw generators.

My dad made something similar years ago with reflectors to scare crows off the corn. It was basic but the design does work.
