Power Aware Cord provides glow alert
Posted on Oct 31, 06 12:46 AM PDT
A quick look at any home and office today will reveal that we consume more power than ever, judging by the amount of extension cords that lie around. The Power Aware Cord helps remind us of how much power we are actually using by glowing brighter and pulsating faster in proportion to the amount of juice we use. This is a pretty neat idea as gentle visual cues such as this could go a long way in cutting down on unnecessary power wastage on devices which we don't really need. Just make sure that you won't hook up too many appliances and turn them on simultaneously just to enjoy the mesmerizing blue glow instead.

I wonder if it wastes additional electricity to make the cord glow...
