ME-G was developed due to the lack of reliable power sources in emergencies or remote areas which is a major challenge for adventurers, hikers, and travelers. Traditional power sources, such as batteries and single-source generators, are often limited and require frequent recharging, posing safety risks when communication or lighting devices run out of power. This study aims to develop a portable generator utilizing magnetic induction and manual cranking to provide a consistent and sustainable power supply. The research was conducted by identifying user problems through surveys and studies, followed by designing and developing a prototype using CAD software. The generator operates using a combination of magnets, copper coils, and a manual cranking mechanism to generate energy. Its effectiveness was tested based on energy output and user feedback. Findings revealed that 43.7% of hikers identified battery depletion as their main challenge, which affects navigation, emergency communication, and overall safety. Respondents emphasized the need for a reliable power source that does not depend on weather conditions,
unlike solar chargers. Thus, this portable generator presents a practical solution to enhance safety and preparedness in outdoor activities.
