An energy harvesting system for converting kinetic energy to electrical power includes an intake energy device, an impeller, and a motor. The intake energy device includes a housing and fins. The fins are positioned on an inner surface of the housing for receiving exhaust air. The received exhaust air moves the fins generating a vortex. The impeller is positioned at an inlet of a compressor and is in fluid communication with the intake energy device. The impeller is configured to receive the generated vortex, which rotates the impeller. The motor is rotatably connected to the impeller. The motor is electrically connected to a regulating circuit for converting kinetic energy of the exhaust air to electrical power.
