AIRCRAFT CABIN AIR REFRESH ENERGY HARVESTER An energy harvesting system (120) is provided and a corresponding method for harvesting energy from an aircraft cabin (110) pressurization system utilizing the same. According to one aspect, an energy harvesting system (120) includes an aircraft cabin (110) enclosing a high-pressure environment (140) of pressurized air. An air input (104) receives incoming air from a low-pressure environment (140) and an air output (106) expels outgoing air from the high-pressure environment (140). A turbine (202) receives the pressurized air expelled from the aircraft cabin (110) and utilizes the pressurized air to produce rotational motion on a turbine shaft (204). An energy harvesting mechanism (120) is coupled to the turbine shaft (204) and utilizes the rotational motion from the turbine shaft (204) to compress the incoming air or to create electrical energy.
