I like the idea of using a smog pump as a turbine basically. I've heard of them being used similarly in solar hot water setups to drive a generator, so they must be pretty tough. I've got a couple GAST air motors, rated 6hp cont at 100psi and like 10+ cfm 3000rpm. I wonder if they would make for a decent generator turbine. Probably not designed to run with a hot gas input.
