1. A system for generating energy in response to a vehicle kinetic energy, the system comprising:
a roller physically coupled to a vehicle and configured to rotate in response to a movement or motion of the vehicle while the vehicle is mobile;
a shaft configured to rotate in response to a rotation of the roller, wherein the shaft is configured to transition between rotating at a same angular velocity as the roller and a different angular velocity than the roller; and
a generator housed within the vehicle and operably coupled to the shaft and configured to:
generate an electrical output based on a rotation of the shaft; and
convey the electrical output to an energy storage device or to a motor of the vehicle that converts electrical energy to kinetic energy to cause the vehicle to move.
