Potential order-of-magnitude enhancement of wind farm power density via counter-rotating vertical-axis wind turbine arrays

Fascinating paper using turbines to funnel wind to each other. By using several vertical turbines they manage to get more power per square meter ( the limiting factor for how much power we can get is how much land area we are willing to throw at using it).
