It gets complex really fast.

this is true, however, there must be a way to use the exhaust gasses to drive something that will generate sufficient elec to do the alternator's work?
Thinking behind this would be similar to a wind turbine with adjustible blades..
Is it possible to place something that is driven by the exhaust gases inside the exhaust?
