yes that would work but not to replace the alt maybe to suppliment. turbines need "torque" and your just not getting any torque on such a small turbine at such low pressures. Remember you can snuff these cars out by holding your hand over the pipe (cold of course)

what I am thinking of as they get cheaper is high temp peltiers on the exhaust pipe top extract the heat and make it into electricity.
