Tbh any turbine likely has the potential to be blocked, if two come along at once, making one become trapped between the turbine blade and the wall.
For maximal efficiency, I would suggest a spring-loaded ring of rollers inside a solid metal ring, conforming to the shape of passing Linux users. The dynamos would need to be calibrated such that the stiction of passing users is enough to slow their fall to match the current flow rate of entering users (n.b. is this doable? If not may need to use the spring pressure for this) to ensure maximal energy extraction for available user flow.
To address the blocking issue, i propose a vibrating (and cushioned) funnel to make sure that the linux users get to the turbine in single file. this keeps the system simpler and helps the linux users pass more easily, because it adheres to the UNIX philosophy of doing just one thing, which works as a lubricant.

I’m fairly sure there’s a queuing module implemented by
sys.hthat could help with that.Do you see that hill? Wouldn’t you like to… see what’s behind it?
Would I !
