If you say so, serial. I'm sure you know more than the engineers who developed it. Try reading the article. I am not an engineer but it seems to me that if the turbocharging process was that inefficient, why would any passenger car have a turbo on it? You are talking about gaining maybe one horsepower; the article clearly stated that an exhaust driven switched reluctance generator could provide 6 kilowatts of power. You did read the article, right?
