Power Aware Cord
The idea behind the Power Aware Cord from the Static Energy and Design Network is to guilt users into using less power. Supposedly, if you see a visual representation of the amount of power you’re using, you’ll be less likely to waste power.
“The ‘Power-Aware Cord’ is a re-designed electrical power strip in which the cord is designed to visualize the energy rather than hiding it. The current use of electricity is represented through glowing pulses, flow, and intensity of light. Expressing the presence of energy through light can inspire people to explore and reflect upon the energy consumption of electrical devices in their home. ” Unfortunately, this Power Aware Cord is merely a conceptual design, at this point.
