Really, you don't need an alternator, are better off with a rotating exhaust turbine.
That's just gotta be a joke. If such a thing existed and was viable, we'd be using it already I'd think. Back pressure would reduce performance and if it were made so that it wouldn't do that so much then it probably wouldn't be able to keep up with enough charging. A couple little windmill generators at the bar ends charging a pack of Lithium ion batteries on a no alternator/generator engine would probably be just as effective. (or just as ineffective as the case would probably be) If real, then I'd want to see a source.
