Why are windmills the standard? Wouldn't a large scale version of this be better? What you'd lose in efficiency you'd make up for with the reduced energy expenditure in manufacturing.

they fucking work and the meta's making them as big as fucking possible. Intercepted wind increases with r^2

hell no
>What you'd lose in efficiency you'd make up for with the reduced energy expenditure in manufacturing
nope.

Are you implying you assume intermittend linear motion to be generally more efficient than steady rotation ? Becaus enost of the times its the opposite.

how come it's such an obviously dumb idea? genuine question.

no, i was actrually implying it'd be less efficient, i just thought it'd be much, much simpler to build and thus we could have more, they could be in the ocean and be wave powered instead, etc. just wondering why its not feasible.
