An energy recovery module includes a manifold, a permanent magnet generator arranged within the manifold, and a thermal electric generator. The thermal electric generator is arranged within the manifold and is electrically connected to the permanent magnet generator to provide electrical power to a load using energy recovered from an expanded decomposition or combustion products traversing the manifold. Generator arrangements, unmanned aerial vehicles, and methods of generating electric power are also described.
