       Weird, I was just thinking about a rooftop whirligig generator, but for houses.
With how hot cars get in the summer I think it's a fine idea to use that excess heat. Too bad it would not work as well in the winter when it would be needed the most.
  

       Without a continuous supply of fresh air I don't think you're going to capture much energy.
