This makes no sense. Let's say you have a grill that's 2 square feet. So you put a turbine in, and because of the restriction and energy sapped away by the wind generator, it's now effectively 1 square foot.

You'd be better off making a fairing to restrict the hole to 1 square foot aerodynamically.

You can't get something for nothing.
