This turbine ventilator is a combination device for ventilating a building structure, while it simultaneously generates useful current, and it consists primarily of a rooftop mounted housing, for confining rising warm air, and directing it into a pair of base members, which support rotating spherical members driven by the rising warm air. It further includes a shaft on each spherical member, which is coupled to secondary shafts with pulleys and belts, for driving a generator.

1. A turbine ventilator, comprising, in combination, a hollow housing mounted on top of an exterior surface of a building roof, opening means through said roof for rising hot air inside said building to enter said housing, a turbine on said housing, said turbine including a base through the top of said housing, and a rotatable spherical member thereupon rotated by said rising hot air, a downward rotor shaft from said spherical member providing electric generator driving means; a solar heater system including a solar collector upon said roof connected by water pipe to a hot water coil inside said housing and around an upper portion of said rotor shaft; a fresh air entry port around a side of said housing, said port being at an elevation that is lower than said water coil, and a rotatable collar around said port having a sidewardly extending vane and a funneled air intake opening on diametrically opposite sides of said collar.
