A generator pack for attachment to a vehicle, the generator pack comprising a housing, one or more pack layers located within the housing, and one or more turbine generators located within the housing for generating electrical power. Each of the pack layers comprises one or more photovoltaic panels for generating electrical power from light. Each of the turbine generators comprises a shaft, a plurality of blades attached to the shaft, wherein rotation of the blades causes rotation of the shaft, and a generator attached to the shaft, wherein the generator is configured to generate electrical power from rotation of the shaft. Movement of the vehicle effects movement of air against the blades, and the movement of air against the blades effects rotation of the blades and the shaft. The generator pack is configured to transmit electrical power from the pack layers and the turbine generators to the vehicle.
