A portable energy generation and humidity control system includes an engine and a humidity control system within a portable frame. The engine includes two containers in communication through a connecting arm having a central hollow bore. A volume of a low boiling point liquid is disposed in the bottom container, and a wire coil extends along the connecting arm. A buoyant permanent magnet is disposed in the central hollow bore. An active heat exchanger is capable of transferring heat to and removing heat from the bottom container. The active heat exchanger includes at least one internal heat exchanger portion and at least one external heat exchanger portion in communication with the internal heat exchanger portion. A humidity control system is supported within the portable frame and is in communication with the engine. The humidity control system and the engine maintain a desired humidity level in the ambient environment.
