That's great, only problem is a non-hybrid vehicle has no way of using 6kW!
I want to try taking a rather large turbine and gearing it straight to the crankshaft via pulley, it would do best at high rpms where typical cam phasing systems have the exhaust opening earliest.
For just generating enough electricity, getting 300W from heat alone isn't horribly difficult I think. Aluminum heat exchanger, 2kg worth of thermoelectric generators, and aluminum waterblock will go a long way. This would cost several thousand dollars, but this turbine generator would too.
