Multi Rotor Turbines

(Not magnet rotor - talking about the blades)

Hi all I just saw this article about multi rotor windmills, and searching through the boards I found this entry What do you guys think of this for home turbines? Is it practical? or does it require lots of complex simulations to work out the placements for each turbine (ie each time someone designs one he would need to do a complex series of calculations based on the blade size, the alternator etc in order to work out where to put the blades).
