Rather than a turbine vent, I would probably look for a square natural vent - unless he's intentionally wanting to "draw" air out quickly, like opening windows.
To make a square hole, cut the peaks to the size needed and the troughs to a shorter amount so that the tabs can be bent up equal to the peaks. You'll then need to weld or JB Weld the seals to prevent water leaking into the container. Then fit the vent cap over top. Not sure about making a hole for a rounded cap, but there are probably adapters available to go from a square hole to a round vent.
You'll also need air inlets near the bottom to draw in cooler air. If the container is sitting on blacktop, then would actually be better to draw the air from about halfway up on the outside, but then pipe it down to floor level on the inside to promote ventilation. The air vents should have hardware cloth and then screen; the cloth to keep larger critters out, then screen to keep bugs/wasps out.
Another possibility for the top vent might be trying to make a continuous vent out of ridge vent. Could take the top layer off of one or two of the peaks along the top of container and then secure the ridge vent in place. The troughs would act naturally to drain water away. ....Actually, I like the sounds of this better, if it can be done.

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
