I have only seen what the patent says, that the astroplane could be used horizontal,

I think that's probably just to stop other people taking the idea and laying it down to circumvent the patent,

I can't imagine an astrobeam clamped to a mast @ 90degrees
especially if it still needs some space between the hoop and the vertical mast, it would be a mechanical nightmare,

two astrobeams on a common horizontal mast to balance the weight about the rotator maybe,

very expensive way of getting gain IF it works.
