Roof installed wind turbine vent and solar panel electric power generation system

A system for generating electrical electricity in a building, said system comprising

• a wind turbine vent for attaching to a roof of a building;
• an electrical generator operably coupled to said wind turbine vent for generating electricity from spinning of said wind turbine vent;
• a fan for generating moving air through said wind turbine vent between the outside and inside of said building to spin said wind turbine vent;
• wherein said fan is a reversible fan configured to selectively operate in one direction to push air out through said wind turbine vent and in a reverse direction to pull air in through said wind turbine vent;
• an air flow guiding device extending between said wind turbine vent and said fan for guiding said generated moving air between said wind turbine vent and said fan;
• wherein said fan is located within said air flow guiding device proximate a base thereof;
• at least one air flow connection or inlet/outlet about said air guiding device base for connecting to at least one duct;
• an opening/closing device for opening/closing said at least one air flow connection or inlet/outlet;
• and
• at least one solar panel for powering said fan;
• whereby, when said system is installed on a building, said wind turbine vent turns as a result of outside wind, hot rising air escaping outside through said wind turbine vent, moving air generated by said fan powered by said solar panel(s), or a combination thereof, and thereby generates electricity.

A method for generating electricity in a building, the method comprising the steps of

• providing a wind turbine vent in a roof of a building;
• an electrical generator operably connected to the wind turbine vent, the electrical generator being capable of converting spinning of said wind turbine vent into electricity;
• a solar powered fan disposed proximate said wind turbine vent for moving air;
• and an air guide for guiding moving air generated by said fan through the wind turbine vent;
• spinning the wind turbine vent using natural outside wind, spinning the wind turbine vent
• using rising air escaping the building, spinning the wind turbine vent by moving air through the wind turbine vent using the solar powered fan, or a combination thereof,
• generating electricity from the spinning wind turbine vent;
• using at least one solar panel to power at least one solar battery;
• powering said fan selectively using said at least one solar battery and said at least one solar panel, wherein powering said fan comprises powering said fan in one direction to push air from inside the building through said wind turbine vent to the outside and in a reverse direction to pull air through said wind turbine vent from the outside to the inside;
• determining the temperature of the outside air, enclosure/open space beneath the roof, and a room of the building;
• based on said determined temperature of the outside air, enclosure beneath the roof, and a room of the building, using said fan to push air from said enclosure/open space out and/or an air conditioner or ventilation duct through said turbine;
• and/or
• based on said determined temperature of the outside air, enclosure beneath the roof, and a room of the building, using said fan to pull air from outside through said wind turbine vent.
