Alright I have read about this. And i want to do it. Because i feel it can be done.
please remember
not an alternator
but a "wind generator"
useded to turn wind into electricity.
tried to change the post title****
I think a few of you have this confused.
In this case, the wind will be the EXHAUST flow.
On the models i have seen, they generate 8000watts, at 15mph of wind....
Now, im not sure how many RPMS it will be turning at 15mph, but it seems the turbo would spin a ton more. Which would most likely equal out to more power being generated.
A belt driven alternator in not efficient. This site has proven that.
For a performance car, a turbo is more efficient than a Supercharger, there is a big debate on this but regardless....
I want to make a way to charge my battery from my exhaust gas, instead of a belt, Removing all acc. belts from the engine.
A friend of mine has a t25 turbo from an eclipse sitting around..
I am thinking i can find a way to combine this with a wind generator
WIND GENERATOR like this....
Somehow combining the rod from the wind generator to the center section of the turbo exhaust turbine.
According to this website, the generator it will produce 8000watts.
Now i know watts, amps and volts all work out together but i do not actually understand them or their formulas.

Ideas......
- Use HF manifold (found on VX civics, HF crx's)
- Wind Generator (8000 watts)
- T25 turbo (Mitsubishi eclipse 95-99 models)
(break down turbo, Use "hot side")
- Make a new rod that will connect the hot side exhaust wheel to the wind generator)
Exhaust will flow down through manifold, into turbine housing. Spinning the wheel, which in turn will spin the Wind generator core.
I have everything i need to do it. I can weld etc....
My only problems are....
- A way to make a center section that will use bearings, INSTEAD of with an engine oil feed line.
- Finding a way to connect the generator shaft to the Turbo shaft and wheel.
- making it balanced.
- making it dependable
- finding a formula to figure out how many watts it will produce at certain engine rpms, and if it will be enough to charge the battery under normal highway driving etc...
If you guys can help me with this it would be appreciated.
Once again, I am not trying to TURBOcharge my car. Just replace the alternator with a new system.
I would draw up a picture but i do not have time right now. Maybe tomorrow
Help me out, we will make my car the guinea pig!
