Wouldn't want the movement to be completely random and unpredictable. Not only disorienting, also potentially destructive to your china. And could you imagine eating breakfast on a windy day? Windmills have existed for a long time, but noone ever wanted to live in one of the blades. Build your windmill and solar units in the yard.

There's no way this could count as an efficient way of generating power. pretty cool looking. but the electricity-generating is obviously just hip window-dressing.

A weather vane on the roof could be used to adjust a Constant Velocity Transmission. Hook the other side of the CVT to a generator. This could limit the rotational velocity of the sections and still get more power on windy days. Dizzy doesn’t have to be an issue.
