The problem with building something like this and they look like they took care of it, is the cooling and the lubrication of the alternator and that with the high speed of the turbo the alternator has to be built in such a way that it will not fly apart at 200,000 RPM seeing as how the turbo has to be built in such a way as it doesn't seize up as the metal bends and stretches out as it spins up to speed.
