I like the idea of using the exhaust gas for a half-turbo to belt-drive an alternator. Sounds like ther eisn't much complication compared to the other ideas. Using exhaust HEAT to run some heat-engine to turn the alt would be the next step in my opinion, but that is a factor more difficult than the previous idea. using a turbo or heat engine to run a generator to produce HHO to produce more power/efficiency... that's getting a little silly, no?
