I take the challenge.
Just wondered why the flat end on the part follower.
Did some search and find this website:

There is a WindSculpture.zip for download, inside 4 folders deep you will find 2 pdf files. There you can see the assembly.

Have still some work to do, modeling it parametric in Part Design Workbench.
