Marquiss Wind Power Inc. raises $1.5M to deploy up to 10 rooftop turbines.  The Marquiss turbine looks a bit like a huge box fan, with a propeller mounted inside a steel box 17 feet on a side and not quite 3 feet deep. Steel flaps along the edge of the box automatically orient the rotor blades into the wind. The fan blades spin a turbine that generates electricity.
