A chimney turbine was envisioned as a smoke jack, and illustrated 500 years ago by Leonardo da Vinci. An animal spitted above a fire or in an oven could be turned by a vertical axis turbine with four angled vanes in the chimney updraft. Alfred Rosling Bennett published the first patent describing a "Convection Mill" in 1896. Even if in the title of the patent and in the claims the word "Toy" clearly appears and
