From my experience from playing with alternators, generators, and electronics with motors. I can tell you that it is possible to do, but this application eats too much efficiency out of the system to be... efficient.

I can see a three phase AC generator being used to power a three phase electrical motor to power the turbo.

The reason that we use the mechanical TC's and SC's is that they have a high efficiency at the moment. Efficiency as in when we convert energy from one system to another we lose energy.

You know that fan motor that you put in font of your car when you dyno it? That is what I'm talking about, or very close. Yes a 120V AC motor would do the job. Now I just need a 120V alternator.

Hm... brb
