Those don't produce any electric power; they're an alternate way to use
the wind. I heard about them many years ago; Cousteau claimed 4-5 times
the efficiency over a Marconi rig, and as I dimly recall, the numbers
supported that.

Yep, that's it. Glad to know the old brain still keeps some semblance of
accurate data for things like this. :)
