	1) 60 years of turbojet design history says its a lot
	hotter.
	2) if cooler: energy content will be down.

	60 years of design history with Gas Turbines
	indicates it s a Lot More Than 'a little effort'.
	Expect the magnets to come thru the sides,
	destroying anything in the way.

	cf above.  Or any text on jet engine design.

	IF the energy is in the gas.  if ca 1000F, there
	is not that much energy in it.  If hotter,
	things will melt.  Also, at 100F (below, actually)
	the magnets will demagnetize (cf Curie point)

	Which will limit the power.

	_very_ hot air.  Things start to melt.

> I can put any thing I like in front of this hot air

	Some range of 'any things' will melt.

	And the efficiency of a pinwheel is?

	Usual method is a transformer.

	Or, if the initial voltage is high enough, a Tesla coil.
	Either needs sufficient power.
