I don’t think this variant could work because the radial traction would prevent the rotation.

After some analyses and recent experiences, it turns out that the rope-drive system is not operable unlike, for example, that of the Kitewinder Kiwee One [5]. The patent [31] indicates a problem when the pulley guiding plan (here around the Savonius or Darrieus H-VAWT rotor) is perpendicular to the axis of rotation. This problem is not solved with the addition of the lifter kite. This conclusion is also applicable to similar devices [32 and 34].
