I have one of those 'whirligig' roof turbines on my house. Infact, everyone on my street has one, some even have two. What is the advangage of these things?

RE: Roof Turbines
The whirly thing creates an air flow that removes the heat buildup in the attic space. The passing wind accross the vanes provides additional force to rotate the whirly head that is linnked to a fan blade mounted in the throat.
In the absence of any wind, the rising hot air will also provide some driving force to make the whirly thing go.
