The Belkin TimeOutlet concept by Hoang Nguyen, Anh Nguyen and Sam Staar is a money-saving modular concept surge protector that is divided into four quadrants. Each quadrant corresponds to a specific time period in the day. When that time period is over, power is cut to all sources plugged into that quadrant and power turns on in the next quadrant.
The idea behind the Belkin TimeOutlet is that most small appliances are primarily used during specific hours of the day. I think a better solution to this problem would be if manufacturers would include a circuity, in their appliances, to turn off 100% their devices instead of that power consuming standby mode.
Many of our household appliances tend to operate for a few hours but the power bill rockets high with the passing of each day. Surely, there’s a problem! Quite possible it’s related to plugging. Belkin TimeOutlet by Hoang Nguyen, Anh Nguyen and Sam Staar is a plug in unit that helps you cut down the electricity bill in a systematic way. Modularly stackable, this unit is divided into four quadrants, each corresponding to a time of the day. You set the time for which your particular appliance is to run, when that time is over, the power gets cut from everything in that and power turns on in the next. Now that’s smart!
