turbo alternator

hello im new been a watcher for a while now and now i have a aquired a 94 metro 4 door still have not done anything to it at all and getting about 40mpg with a/c off i know evil but small evil to me.

anywho i was wondering if any one has done any experimenting with a turbo alternator. small aircraft have them it basically is a turbo that scoops air and uses it to spin and alternator, in a car I've seen it be a modified turbo but just leeches off of the exhaust and what would normally be the intake boost side is just an alternator.

so has anyone seen one or made one id kinda like to make one or would the backpressure be bad for the engine in any way?

i moved this from a diff area

im thinking of researching and possibly making on for my geo
