What about if you used a impeller out of a torque converter, I mean, machine a pipe to go directly around the impeller and have an output shaft which drove a generator, the impeller in a torque converter is made to be driven by fluid i do believe. Ill take some photos of the banki turbine i have built and of the impeller on the torque converter i have an idea of using. if anyone has tried this before feel free to comment:)
