Could charged plasma be used as a working fluid to spin a magnetic turbine to generate electricity?

What is the feasibility of using an electrically charged (as in not neutral) plasma as the working fluid in a turbine where the blades are permanent magnets rather than hydrodynamic fins? In my head the charge of the plasma repels the magnets causing the turbine to spin, in turn spinning an alternator. This may not be the most efficient method, but it does sound "cool" and curiosity got the better of me.
