so maybe a turbo out of a huge diesel engine would work?? no? would i get more efficiency out of a turbo charger turbine than a home built banki?

That all depends on the the home built banki, the turbo is designed to compress/expand a gas, at which it is 70% efficient max, for a large, well built one.

This is water, it will work, but to speculate it's efficiency is not worth the ones and zeros its written in, except by someone who has done it before,
(btw I've never heard of doing that before)
