Default Slightly off topic

In recent days Iv'e found myself wondering why wind turbines of a ducted variety haven't been developed. Seems to me that a ducted turbine disc or fan, following a flow enhancing stator might prove effiecient for marginal wind conditions. ther could also be a benefit from "stuffing" wind into the inlet via area rule. I thought this section of the forum might be the place to find some input on the idea anyways.
