Wind Power

This idea has been bugging me for some time now and I figured you guys should be able to put it to rest....

Can power be drawn some what efficiently from wind? Here is my idea;

-A wind capturing device of some sort mounted inside a scoop either on the bottom or side of your vehicle used to generate power to run a single 12V battery.

-A modified turbo and using the pressure to spin this device and generate power to keep a 12V battery charged

-A wind capturing device mounted inside a tailpipe in order to generate wind to keep a 12V battery charged

I just think that we can utilize some of the wind currents either created by our car or going around our cars in order to maintain a charged battery. Multiple of the system is efficient enough. This would at least allow us to run alternator free.

The floor is yours ...
