An energy conversion system for enhancing the performance of a vehicle and a method are disclosed. The conversion system 100 comprises an inlet duct 104, at the front end of the vehicle 102a, that converges along the flow or air; an energy collection unit (ECU) 106 fluidically connected with inlet and comprising at least one tube through which a first heat exchange fluid flows to extract heat from the air flow passing; a turbine generator 108 thermally coupled to the ECU to convert the extracted heat into electricity; a battery 110 connected to the generator; and an exhaust duct, at the back end of the vehicle 102c, diverging in shape along the air flow. The turbine generator may contain at least two sublimation and deposition chambers (SDCs) 202 that are thermally coupled to the ECU. The energy conversion system utilizes the reaction force in terms of drag plus ambient energy in the air to power the turbine which can generate electricity, while remaining economical, efficient, retrofittable and convenient to use.
