Recovering Energy from Vehicle Airflow
Galiska is developing an innovative wind-energy recovery system designed to convert controlled airflow around moving vehicles into supplementary electrical power. Our initial focus is on lorries and other heavy commercial vehicles.

2. Introduction
A New Approach to Energy Recovery in Transport
Vehicles interact with large volumes of air while travelling. Galiska’s technology is designed to channel part of this airflow through protected turbine units integrated into the vehicle structure.
As the airflow drives the turbines, connected generators convert the rotational movement into electrical energy. This power can then be directed to an energy-storage system or suitable vehicle auxiliary systems.
The proposed system combines turbines, generators, protective channels, sensors and intelligent controls within one integrated design.
3. Key benefits
Designed for Practical Vehicle Integration
Supplementary Electrical Power
The system is designed to generate additional electrical power while the vehicle is moving, supporting the wider vehicle energy system.
Protected Turbine Design
The turbines are positioned inside covered channels rather than being exposed directly on the outside of the vehicle.
Modular Configuration
The number and arrangement of turbine units can be adapted according to the vehicle’s size, structure and intended application.
Focus on Commercial Transport
Initial development is focused on lorries and heavy vehicles, where available space and operating patterns may provide a practical route for prototype testing.
4. How it works
From Airflow to Electrical Energy
1. Airflow enters the channels
Air moving around the vehicle is directed through specially designed turbine channels.
2. Turbines begin to rotate
The controlled airflow turns a series of compact turbines positioned within the channels.
3. Generators produce electricity
Each turbine is connected to a generator that converts rotational movement into electrical power.
4. Power is managed and stored
The electricity is controlled and directed towards energy storage or appropriate auxiliary vehicle systems.

5. Development stage
From Concept to Validated Prototype
Galiska has completed the initial concept design and small-scale testing of the proposed system.
The next stage is to engineer and construct a full prototype, measure electrical output, assess airflow and aerodynamic effects, evaluate safety and durability, and prepare the technology for vehicle-based trials.
Intellectual property protection has been pursued through UK, European and international patent filings.
Measured performance figures will be published following prototype development and validation.
