Systems, methods, and apparatus for an emergency power generator

A method for generating power, the method comprising:

• deploying a loop from a portion of a vehicle, the loop being coupled to a plurality of resistive devices;
• generating a force based on an aerodynamic drag associated with the at least one resistive device of the plurality of resistive devices;
• transferring the force to the loop, the transferring causing the loop to rotate;
• receiving, at a pulley coupled to the loop, the force transferred to the loop, the receiving causing the pulley to rotate;
• generating, at a power generator coupled to the pulley, power in response to rotating the pulley;
• and
• generating a plurality of signals indicating that the loop has been deployed and providing data associated with the deployment of the loop.

A system for generating power for an airplane, the system comprising:

• the airplane having a rear portion;
• a loop configured to be deployed from the rear portion of the airplane;
• a plurality of resistive devices coupled to the loop, at least one resistive device of the plurality of resistive devices being configured to transfer a force to the loop, the force being generated based on an aerodynamic drag associated with the at least one resistive device;
• a pulley coupled to the loop, the pulley being configured to receive the force transferred to the loop, and the pulley being further configured to rotate in response to receiving the force from the loop;
• a generator coupled to the pulley, the generator being further coupled to an electrical system, and the generator being configured to deliver power to the electrical system in response to the pulley rotating;
• and
• a locking mechanism configured to prevent a rotation of the loop responsive to locking of the locking mechanism.
