The way I see it, the turbines aren't meant for efficiency. They just have a cool factor and serve as a way to charge the seperate batteries for the in dash computer and controls. I don't think it charges the actual vehicle battery. Since this appears to be made for movies, I don't think max efficiency was his goal.
