It might work if you towed a trailer and fed it from the rear of the exhaust. Or you could do the same with a big Atlas Copco compresor as a supercharger.
I dont think the baby would be very happy afterwards.
Climate control? just for the plane or for the country its flying into? Does this explain the drought?

I work for a company that contracts to the airforce. At the moment I am doing deeper maintenance on the Orions (sub hunters) and the Caribou (transport).
The turbo is actually an "air multiplier unit" basically it bleeds air from the engines (turboprop) to drive the turbine and the compressor side of it sucks air in and pumps it through ducting to various parts of the fuselage. Why bother using a huge electric motor when you have shit loads of exhaust gases going no where.
I think the 1G should make enough gas at about 8k to start spinning it up

Hahaha, nice one mate, you gotta love this industry! 
So how many of those sweet hose clamps do you have in your engine bay? 
That bleed air would be off the (engines) compressor though wouldn't it?

No hose clamps yet, but there is some MIL spec cable and a few other bits and pieces.
Yep the bleed air is from the engines compressor before it is combusted, not actually from the exhaust.
