Everyone is taking energy efficiency seriously these days, especially the guys designing products that will soon find their way into our homes and electrical sockets. Power-saving techniques are being adopted all over to make up for all the wastage of energy in the past and save it for a better future. Well, some guys do come up with ingenious ways to energy saving. Take the Truepower U-Socket that incorporates USB ports right into the outlet. These ports make sure extra energy isn’t wasted and the transformers that convert wall-socket electricity to 5V USB power are only turned on when you plug something in. We’ve also spoken about the leech-like energy saving Outlet Regulator before that disconnects itself from the power source automatically when charged. This device was designed by Conor Klein.

Another device designed to save power is Gilles Belley’s Energy Saver, a desk-mounted power strip of outlets that glow blue to show how much energy your devices use when plugged in and idle.
These products will sure help save those precious sparks of electricity.
