Further more Trad, I have a hard time believing that for $4000 you're going to be able to convert your vehicle to an electric which outperforms range wise almost all of the upcoming electrics manufactured by the companies which are actually developing cars for the purpose of being electrics.

Small small, but have about 4-5 of them across the roof.

yeah... I believe the only thing standing in your way are the laws of thermodynamics(or something like that as I said been a long time)
Comparing your alternator to these turbines is a false analogy, the alternator generates electricity to power your electronics at the expense of fuel mileage not to boost it.
Not to be a ###### Trad, but I really think you might wanna do a lot more research before you decide on the conversion.
