I wonder if it could power a flywheel or a generator to charge batteries like the Volt does.

at 400 bhp - I imagine it could turn just about anything... but at that much power - you'd have to wonder if it would be worth it to convert into electrons.

NOW... if you scaled this thing down to a 1 or 2 cylinder, hyper-efficient range-extender engine in the back of my Leaf.... now we're talking.
