Propeller with the duct integrated vs propeller + a duct?

I already tested this idea

The consumption is a nightmare! I was really surprised on this.

It is a modified hiorth propeller. Without spinning duct the hiorth propeller needs 38A @ 20 km/h on my setup.

With the spinning duct it is 100A @ 20 km/h.

I think there is no chance having an efficient propeller with spinning duct if it is 3D printed.
