Vehicle drag reduction and electricity generation system

A method for reducing drag coefficient in a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a frame, a motor configured to propel the vehicle, a transmission, and one or more set of wheels, the method comprising:

• receiving first air directed towards a first entrance of an air intake structure at a first speed, the air intake structure being disposed upon the frame, the frame having a first drag coefficient as the frame moves through space, the air intake structure including the first entrance with a first cross-sectional area and a first exit with a second cross-sectional area;
• transforming, by the air intake structure, the first air into second air of a second speed;
• directing the second air towards the battery of the vehicle in order to optimize a temperature of the battery of the vehicle;
• directing the second air to flow from the air intake structure to a tunnel structure, wherein the tunnel structure is contiguous to the air intake structure, the tunnel structure including a second entrance with a third cross-sectional area and a second exit with a fourth cross-sectional area, the tunnel structure being disposed upon the frame of the vehicle, a size of the third cross-sectional area of the second entrance being less than a size of the fourth cross-sectional area of the second exit;
• expanding, by the tunnel structure, the second air into expanded air, wherein a second relationship between the third cross-sectional area of the second entrance and the fourth cross-sectional area of the second exit is effective to cause the expansion of the second air into the expanded air, and a third speed of the expanded air is less than the second speed of the second air;
• and
• creating, by the air intake structure and tunnel structure in combination, a second drag coefficient for the frame as the frame is propelled by the motor and moves through space, wherein the second drag coefficient is less than the first drag coefficient.

A drag coefficient reducing system for a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a frame, a motor configured to propel the vehicle, a transmission, and one or more set of wheels, the frame having a first drag coefficient when the frame is propelled by the motor and moves through space, the drag coefficient reducing system comprising:

• an air intake structure including a first entrance with a first cross-sectional area and a first exit with a second cross-sectional area, a first relationship between the first and second cross-section area being effective to receive first air directed towards the first entrance and exhaust second air of a second speed, wherein the air intake structure includes a second exit, the air intake structure is contiguous to a battery of the vehicle, and the air intake structure is further effective to direct the second air towards the battery of the vehicle in order to optimize a temperature of the battery of the vehicle;
• and
• a tunnel structure contiguous to the air intake structure, the tunnel structure including a second entrance with a third cross-sectional area and a third exit with a fourth cross-sectional area, the tunnel structure being effective to receive the second air from the air intake structure, a size of the third cross-sectional area of the second entrance being less than a size of the fourth cross-sectional area of the second exit, a second relationship between the cross-sectional area of the second entrance and the cross-sectional area of the third exit being effective to expand the second air into expanded air of a third speed, wherein the third speed is less than the second speed,
• wherein the air intake structure and the tunnel structure in combination are effective to create a second drag coefficient for the frame when the frame is propelled by the motor and moves through space, wherein the second drag coefficient is less than the first drag coefficient.
