[0037] 4. However, when providing maximum power output, proper alignment of the drive shaft is not critical for at least efficient power output
However, this concept has disadvantages: each rotor requires separate bearings, generators and fixed supports, and also requires a heavy, complex support structure that is disproportionate to the amount of material required for the piping around each rotor

Embodiment Construction
[0196] [0129] 1. The first embodiment - a catenary coaxial multi-rotor turbine across the canyon; Figures 1-5, 29, 30, 39, 40-43:
[0197] [0130] The canyon provides a unidirectional wind source (FIG. 39) and a mounting point on its raised walls 200 and 202. A single drive shaft 10 spans the canyon at an angle α (alpha) to the wind direction. A series of horizontal axial rotors 13 are coaxially mounted on the drive shaft at intervals, denoted by the rotor pitch D. The rotors combine to rotate around the drive shaft, all together as a single unit. In a similar embodiment in a prior patent issued to the present inventor, the spacing D between the rotors, combined with the orientation to the wind at an angle α (alpha), allows the clear wind to reach each rotor such that all rotors All can effectively use wind energy to provide power for the system. The rotor should ideally have modern, high speed, high efficiency, light weight blades with high efficiency propellers capable of ...

Abstract
Co-axial, multi-rotor wind turbines, producing more power than a single rotor of the same diameter, are made even more powerful by increasing driveshaft length and supporting the driveshaft from more than one point. Sacrificing the ability to aim, for the extra length to support additional rotors, results in a more powerful co-axial multi-rotor turbine, especially useful for areas with a predominantly unidirectional wind resource. Ideally the turbine is placed at an offset angle alpha from the wind direction, which, in combination with proper spacing between rotors, allows fresh wind to reach each rotor, so that all rotors contribute toward rotation of the driveshaft. Placing the driveshaft under tension can raise critical speeds and reduce the number of intermediate supports required. This places the Earth or underlying substrate in compression, making it effectively part of the structure of the turbine, saving cost. Cross-axis and reversible blades may also be incorporated.
