World's First Compact Portable Generator “MG POWER 3” Using EDTA to Be Released Next January

Press Release

2025/9/9

Generates Power for Long Periods Using Only Water Even When Power Infrastructure Is Disrupted, Delivering Power Until Recovery

Japan Public Relations Research Institute, Inc.

AI Power Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Shinji Matsuda) has successfully developed the “MG POWER 3,” the world's first* portable generator that stably generates electricity simply by “supplying water” using its proprietary technology*. It can be stored long-term and, when in use, supplies 15 to 40W of power for up to 30 hours by simply adding water. This enables the reliable use of essential modern communication devices like smartphones and tablets even during power outages caused by disasters.

The product is scheduled for release on January 15, 2026.

■Instant Power Generation Just by Adding Water

MG POWER 3 is a generator that produces electricity through a chemical reaction between metals inside the unit and oxygen in the air. While many batteries using similar principles exist, they have faced various challenges such as low output, short runtime, and unstable discharge. This product overcomes these issues through proprietary technology developed using artificial intelligence (AI) for analysis and optimization. During use, simply adding water provides stable power for extended periods. Naturally, it produces no noise or exhaust gases, preserving a quiet environment.

■Overcoming Communication Loss Due to Power Outages During Disasters

When disasters strike—such as earthquakes, typhoons, torrential rains, volcanic eruptions, or large-scale blackouts—the first thing lost is often the “power source.” During the Noto Peninsula earthquake in January 2024 and the frequent torrential rains across various regions, many people faced difficulties due to power outages and the inability to communicate via mobile phones. The Pacific coast of central-western Japan is predicted to experience a widespread “Nankai Trough Earthquake” in the future. Will power be available then? Emergency preparedness cannot wait.

MG POWER 3 eliminates worries about immediate power loss during disasters. Even in environments with interrupted power supply, simply add tap water or bottled water to start generating electricity instantly. It can charge and extend the battery life of smartphones and mobile batteries via its USB port. The generator's core is a replaceable cartridge system. By swapping cartridges, it can continue generating power. This allows you to use communication devices with peace of mind, even during prolonged outages or blackouts with no clear end in sight. The unit and cartridges are lightweight and compact, and if unopened, they can be stored long-term (10 years).

Once water is added, power generation continues for a set period. Combining it with a storage battery allows you to store electricity during low-consumption times and use both this product and the storage battery during high-consumption periods, achieving flexible and efficient power supply.

It's not just for disasters; it's also useful for outdoor leisure activities like camping where power sources are unavailable. Furthermore, it can serve as an energy source anywhere in the world where the power grid is underdeveloped and wind or solar power generation is impractical.

■The “Super Coexistence Concept” that will change the future

The rechargeable battery market, which includes mobile batteries and automotive storage batteries, continues to expand at a scale of tens of trillions of yen annually. However, even this vast number of rechargeable batteries would be useless if the power grid were to fail and they could not be recharged.

MG POWER 3 solves this problem and opens up new growth markets as

• A “life extension platform” that effectively utilizes existing storage batteries around the world

• A “standard” in the disaster, disaster prevention, and humanitarian aid markets

• A means of realizing green energy circulation

Other features of this product

• High output, high stability, and safety: No flammable fuels are used, reducing the risk of fire and explosion.

• Practicality in enclosed, indoor environments: Operates indoors, underground, in shelters, and other locations where solar and wind power cannot be used (*Provided that appropriate ventilation conditions are met).

• Suitable for long-term storage: Does not require charge management as it is not a storage battery type. Starts immediately when needed.

Special Technology of This Product

World's First※: As a commercially available model employing a portable power generation method using water and oxygen, featuring practical reaction control through a special EDTA formulation.

EDTA Special Formulation Technology※: Technology that efficiently and powerfully captures metal ions (particularly aluminum (Al³⁺), calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), etc.) using EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; C10H16N2O8), converting energy into electricity without waste. This is combined with the power-generating metal and housed within a compact cartridge, enabling a user-friendly, replaceable portable generator.
