I think the basic problem is that, as supplied, there is no electrical
machine in this device. It's not a powered vent fan. You could probably
hook up some kind of generator to it and make some amount of power, but I
suspect that design is not optimized for turning wind into torque.

It turns out that even in grey, drizzly, windy Britain, you're still better
off with solar than wind:
