Turbo as a charger?

So after viewing the Mercedes F1 Split Turbo explanation video I've had an idea...

Why couldn't we use turbos to charge an electrical system similar to an alternator? Instead of have it belt driven, attach the alternator to the shaft of the turbine...?

Would this even be possible? Or would it generate enough electrical charge?
