Yes, to a certain extent the cables are going against the couple
BUT with a torque of 1 MW and a necessarily low speed of rotation (less than 1000 RPM) I allow myself to doubt a little ... of this "recovery" ... and I am not talking about the rapid variations in wind / power / couple...

it is not necessary that the angle exceeds 90 °, but the couple grew well before. simply put arms long enough so that the pulling force (fixed) generates the desired counter-torque for the desired maximum angle.
Uh yes it should not exceed 90 ° because it would mean that the ball crashed and begins to dig underground
I remain skeptical about the ability to square this couple in this configuration ...
