Spotlight: PumPing Tap physically ejects power cords to save energy
Designers have come up with PumPing Tap, a power socket that literally ejects power cords from the wall socket in order to eliminate energy waste due to residual current. According to Gizmag, sensors in the PumPing Tap are used to detect a drop in current, transitioning a light indicator from blue to red as a warning. If still in place 10 minutes later, the device will eject the plug out of the socket via a spring-loaded mechanism. The PumPing Tap is a 2011 Red Dot Design Concept award winner. Article
