Electicity Generating 'Turbocharger' Could Boost Fuel Efficiency

"London, England - A group of engineers in the UK have hooked the equivalent of a turbocharger to an exhaust pipe to generate electricity instead of pressurising the fuel supply.
Now, they say, they have a simple but revolutionary (well, it is a turbine) way to recover energy that would normally be blasted out of the exhaust pipe at 200km/h which, we're told, is how fast exhaust gases can travel."
