Abstract
Turbo Watt is comprised of a housing produced of metal. A turbine and generator are located within the housing. Often, a water injector is also located on the housing. To use Turbo Watt, a car operator would start the engine and drive the vehicle in an ordinary manner. Exhaust from the vehicle will be directed into the housing as will steam through the water injector. The steam and exhaust within the housing will rotate the turbine. As the turbine rotates, the generator produces electricity that can be harnessed for use with the electrical components of a vehicle.
