We could add AWE / VAWT devices.
Some elements from AWE (inflatable wings or blades, use of a gas lighter than air like in the sketched device below) could perhaps equip non-flying wind turbines.
From the geodesic dome to VAWT:
From the geodesic dome shaped VAWT to a half dome VAWT in order to achieve more stability with a large (rotating) basis, working like a carousel.
Then from half dome VAWT to the Wind inflatable half dome which would use inflatable shapewave® blades in order to lighten the structure which only adds ropes to the blades. The carousel itself becomes relatively light (an idea for carousel-based AWES?), the only heavy elements being the generators. Thus if it works, it could be a portable wind device, even at high scale, and particularly suitable offshore.
