Measure electricity by a clip

If you are like me, and your electricity bills also reaching skies, then here is some gadget, which we call as "Saverclip". It is a concept from the designer Lee Young Don that may prove useful to anyone who is looking to control there electricity or power consumption. This device look very similar to a clothespin and it actually latches onto any kind of power cable to determine the energy usage by just measuring the electromagnetic fields emitted. It can even recharge itself by the same electromagnetic field.

There is a LCD panel, which can help us to determine that what the devices are responsible for the most power wastage. The design is quite simple and looks friendly, which could be a useful gadget, if it may ever come to the reality.

Efergy meter

If you have a lot of gadgets around in your home it would be quite difficult to track all the amount of energy that is going wasted. Thanks to Efergy's energy meter, it will let you know about all the energy that is in use around every corner of the house. This little gadget that is also supposed to clean out the noise on power lines and make it cleaner, thereby lowering down bills. Well, if you are not as crazy as me, then the energy meter Efergy will help you monitor your exact energy use in real time. It can directly get to plug in into your mains cable, and also features a wireless, standalone display helps you become more energy efficient, less wasteful and save money at the same time.

Static Electricity Eliminator

It’s that time of year, especially in the upper Midwest where I live. You come into your house from the outdoors, take off your jacket and the first metal object you touch….ZAP!! You get a shock. Or you’re walking around your furnace-heated house (which is most likely carpeted in some way, shape or form) and you again touch a metal or electrical object…ZAP!!! The risk when you walk around in your own home is that most likely, you will be touching your home computer or laptop and risk a device-destroying electrical zap.

Over at ThinkGeek, they sell the Static Electricity Eliminator, which is an ingenious little device that helps ensure that you are “static free”. All you do is hold the Static Electricity Eliminator and touch the rubber tip to a grounded object (a metal desk leg, your car door, a metal peg leg, etc). You will see a little face flash on the Static Electricity Eliminator’s screen verifying that you are static free. The best part is that it does not require batteries or a recharge to make it work (because you are the electricity by generating the static charge in the first place), you’ll be able to use it for many more winters to come.

Now you can safely take off your polar fleece and wool jackets without endangering your electronic gadgets! Go get one over at ThinkGeek for $9.99 - which is way cheaper than replacing that laptop.
