Re vibration dampers... I prefer to experiment rather than theorise.
Theory before intention, intention before part in hand. My intuition is that the proper location for the damper would be 2/5th of the 2/3rd height. As a starting point.

The hybrid turbine comes from www.youtube.com/channel/UC6uqmgwTszEq52WaoNvA_1w/videos
Savonius to start up and then the Darrieus rotor takes off.

For the A-pillar turning vane, maybe there's some thing to be learnt from automotobuzz.com: What F1’s 2020 wing designs tell us about each team – Part IV

I think end plates and capes are the same thing? The half-tubes on the bottom of the endplates appear to be squirting air at the tire/pavement interface.

A 3d printed part could be any NACA airfoil, with washout and chord profiling.
