gravity circulation turbine
Explanation:
although I agree with its use for "ventilation" as per vic's suggestion, the english term uses the word "circulation" (google results: about 76,400 for "gravity circulation turbine")

gravity ventilation turbine


Explanation:
Here's a nice hit for a gravity ventilator (right underneath the skylight panels ;) : http://www.apexbuilding.com/roofaccessories.htm
and I would have thought the 'turbine' bit to be redundant, but looking at this: http://www.vddo.ca/products/commercial-fans/pennbarry/gravit... it appears to be a lot safer to add a turbine. Normally you'd then get a "turbine vent(ilator)", but because of the addition of gravity I prefer the combination in the answer field.
