I am speaking of traditional wind turbine vents. Some people call these whirlybird vents. They are round metal vents that have fins in them and stick up from the roof surface perhaps 18 - 20 inches. The fins are located in a dome-shaped housing that spins each time the wind blows across it.

I am sceptical about the performance of turbine/whirlybird style vents. the wind will force its way down the vent, not up as claimed. also all the different sites that claim 350 cfm for the 12" or so much for the 15" are just copying each other.

All the venting options have some pros and cons, but I would suggest ridge venting over the whirlybird turbine vents, provided you have a ridge to work with. Ice & Water Shield (or peel & stick) underlayment is an improvement on felt in valley areas, which are one of the most susceptible areas to leakage.

SuperWhirly extracts super heated attic air enabling it to be replaced by fresh air through ceiling registers or eave vents. Roof space temperatures can be lowered, in turn reducing the amount of heat radiating into the home.

You didn’t mention if the house ends—the gables—have louvered vents in them. I suspect they do and that’s where the powered vents, and I include the turbine in that category in the sense that it converts hot air into mechanical energy, get most of the air they move.
