Helical (twisted) Vertical Axis ( VAWT ) 6kW Wind Turbine. This particular turbine costs a ridiculous AUD$75,500 installed and would take 75 years to pay for itself, but I'm sure it could be built ALOT cheaper by any skilled fabricator.

Air tight sphere? This has to be a joke right!

Look for torque instead of speed.

Way too much noise! If each of us owned such a windmill this could become a big problem.

all you need to do is wrap wire loops around it, about an inch or so apart, and it should minimize how far a bird can actually get past the blade path. Don't use a mesh because it would actually reduce the efficency and make it noisier.
