Power-Hog

[kl.lovell]

Hello Everyone! Please check out the Power-Hog, a green concept designed to capture the interests of children and parents alike. Power-Hog is a power consumption metering piggy bank designed to sensitize kids to energy cost associated with running electronics devices. Plug the tail into the outlet and the device into the snout; feed a coin to meter 30 minutes of use.

That is a very cool idea! Seems like a great way to teach kids about power consumption...and I love the design. Quirky and playful. Thanks for posting that link, kl.
