Yeah I don't know enough myself. I wonder if you could use drag change on one and rpm change on the other, maybe balance out in terms of lift.
But yeah maybe those pointy things are just weights/for aerodynamics.

Oh, I'm pretty sure you want them spinning at the same speed so their angular momenta cancel out, in case a wind gust puts a torque around a horizontal axis on the system... cross product of angular momentum with applied torque...
