A system comprising an air intake structure, a tunnel structure, and an energy generation device is described. The air intake structure may include a first entrance and a first exit. The air intake structure may receive air directed towards the first entrance. A size difference between the first entrance and the first exit may cause a compression of the received air into first compressed air. The tunnel structure may include a second entrance and a second exit. The tunnel structure may receive the first compressed air. A size difference between the second entrance and the second exit may cause a compression of the first compressed air into second compressed air. The energy generation device may receive the second compressed air, and may transform a portion of the second compressed air into energy. The system may further include elements effective to facilitate cooling of components of a vehicle.
