Here is a quick idea of what I'm thinking. Most of this can all be done pretty easily with a bit of welding and some steel pipe and fittings. The turbine is the only problem as of right now.

So, the beauty of it is the incredible simplicity and thus low cost. I realize efficiency will likely be lacking, but we don't need high efficiency to produce great results.
