Abstract
An electrical generating device for creating supplemental electrical power includes a turbine attic ventilator that drives a generator. The generator is electrically connected to a rechargeable battery and a main power grid. The battery powers an optical smoke detector that activates an audible and/or visual alarm whenever particulate smoke is detected. Accordingly, as the ventilator is rotated by wind, the battery is recharged and the main power grid is supplemented.
