Okay there is nothing new about his idea....

Same problem exists too. Turbos spin at 100,000+ rpm. Alternators spin at 6000 rpm max.

There is a company that is marketing a design and the only way they are getting around the problems is a custom alternator driven by a rather large turbine.
Couldn't it just be geared down?
