turning heat lose to power

Now this might be way out in left field but i thought may the heat traveling up the chimney of a wood burning stove since they have the greatest the lost.  witch would constitute a fast flow rate. Now could you put some kind cage hor. turbine in that air flow. does this sound far fetched or what.

Remember that when you load an alternator or generator it slows down.


This takes us to rule number 1.

Plus it is not fast, and does not have much swept area.


Even if it was done, there is almost 0 power available.

Like much less than a single watt.
