to drive the compressor fast enough to restart, .something like 75% of the energy in the fuel is used to drive the compressor
But what compressor? since the subject thread is about a free turbine driven machine.

I believe that inflight windmill restarts are predicated on the pressure recovery from the flow ramming through the compresors and of course by any turbining that the turbines connected to these compressors can provide.
