Something vaguely like this might be quite nice if the designers thought in terms of sails rather than propellers. Using the existing principles of tensegrity applied to self-supporting tents, this could have enough surface area to run the generator at maximum in a gentle breeze, with some possibility of trimming in actual wind. It would be a completely different product but it's not an implausible one. Edit: I'm thinking vertically mounted with three 'jib' sails which are constrained on (let's say) the clockwise side, these would take turns catching the wind, then relax into the leeward and snap over onto the bar when returning to windward.
