This is Anthony, a passionate graphic and industrial designer with 20 years experience introducing my latest invention, MagSavior. Throughout my entire engineering and design career, the MacBook is an indispensable tool. My MacBook has a long history of durability, except for just two items - the Battery and MagSafe power adapter. If you searched the internet for damaged MagSafe, you'll see most of the cable damage in the same way - either the end of the cable connecting to the laptop, or the end of the cable joined to the power adapter. The damage of the cable connecting to the laptop can be easily prevented, unlike the cable connected to the power adapter. Initially, I thought it was just my personal problem, but soon I realized that everyone using MacBook is having the same problems.


Here is the scenario:

Have you ever encountered your MagSafe power adapter for the MacBook blown away suddenly, and you have to buy another one? That will cost you US$79. Have you noticed that the joining part of the adapter and the cable have a kink in it? That is because the negative shielding has worn or torn off. This creates lots of electrical stress on the adapter. Before you know it, you will hear a "POP" sound, and there goes your MagSafe power adapter.

If your MagSafe power adapter is still working and you wish to prolong the life span of your power adapter than to spend US$79 to get a new one, here's what we have created. Back our MagSavior and save your power adapter before it's gone! Forget about Googling "How to fix MagSafe adapter".

MagSavior is invented with an actual need to protect and prolong the usage of the MagSafe adapter. Improved Ideas were created in 3D using Autodesk 123D Design, and multiple prototypes were printed from a 3D printer just to perfect the final product before pre production.


Design Considerations:

  1. Reduce the straining of the cord by increasing the height of the stem, and having a rounded brim to provide a bigger curvature during coiling of the cord.
  2. Secure the breaking point of the joint by having a rigid body attached to the adapter and cord. 
  3. Easy to attach and remove using the clip-on method. 
  4. Light weight using polycarbonate material. 
  5. Cost should be relatively low as compare to the actual price of the MagSafe power adapter.

After numerous rugged testing and improvement, the final version is now ready for production. The MagSavior in the photo below is an actual working prototype printed from a 3D Printer.
