New type of wind power generator

Nope. The down wind side is typically lower speed, higher pressure. The wind turbine works because the combination of wind and rotation creates a low pressure side up-wind/up rotation that sucks the blade forward. That suction also captures birds. Think Bernoulli.

Oy, no. Air flows from areas of high (total) pressure to areas of low pressure. The rotation doesn't create anything, the rotation is created by the high pressure upstream pushing on the turbine blades. The specifics of the interaction involves flow over a wing and simultaneous low and high pressure areas "above" and "below" it, but that net force is perpendicular to the relative wind. It isn't what drives air through the turbine, it just influences the turbine's efficiency.

You are mismashing together turbines, fans and wings.

Definitely not!

The wind turbine works because the combination of wind and rotation creates a low pressure side up-wind/up rotation that sucks the blade forward. That suction also captures birds. Think Bernoulli.

You are thinking about Bernoulli backwards. The combination of forces is trying to suck the blade BACKWARDS. (In other words, if the hub suddenly decoupled, the turbine would move downwind.) The hub opposes that force, and the lift of the blades translates that force into rotation.

It doesn't matter, from which direction the bird's flight path deflects into the sweep area.
