Energy conservation today is all about energy efficiency, doing the same things with just fraction of the energy; it is about doing more with less, using energy at the right time, at the right place, and making use of energy more efficiently but also more enjoyably. Energy Sensation is a product not just only encouraging people to save energy, but providing practical ways through emotional attachment.

Energy Sensation is designed with 3 parts:
Item A: An external wireless control socket
Item B: A wireless controller
Item C: A base which is the power source for the controller (charged by solar power)

When the user has installed the A.socket on to the electronics or power supply at home, he/she would be able to use the B.controller to synchronize with the A.external wireless control socket which has been installed.

Users can:
1. Turn on and turn off to cut down the electricity flow to the electronics which are installed with the A.external wireless control socket.

2. Create an electronics and energy usage network at home. When the user goes to different places or rooms at home, the controller will automatically synchronize and gather the energy consumption with the external wireless control sockets within the area, and through its emotional attachment would tell the user the usage of the energy in that room.

3. Switch off/on the electronics thru the controller, in order to use the energy at the right time and at the right place.

4. The external sockets also function as a switch, and are able to tell the user the energy consumption which is used through its power supply.

5. The controller is akin to a master switch of all the electronics and the use of electricity at home. Instead of checking the switches on all the various electronics one by one, the user can just use the controller to check the electricity usage of the home, and then switch on or off the individual electronics accordingly.

6. The controller is charged through its base, which is powered by solar powered and doesn't consume any electricity from the power supply. The external wireless control sockets charge from their plugs while the electronics are on.

This has alot of promise. Automating is the way to save energy.

If I am understanding this correctly I think it's a great idea. I have all of my electronics plugged into power strips which I turn off when I am not using. It would be nice to do this without dragging it out from behind whatever it is powering.

That's a great idea! Did you know.. ... I've got 3 parallel running PC's in my room. ....I've a server running at the top of my room. ....I have a power consumption of 500 kW a month? I 'd really appreciate this - because I need it - and I want it ;-D Just the idea is worth a "thank you".

i think this is the Greenest product ,because it can teach me , supply me to save the power. Also i think it is more convenint to control the power by the controler in my hand. i like this. Thanks Lord you let this designer can design this. i also want see more your design. i also think this description are the most clearly than others.

Very comprehensive design, well thought of. Though it's rather too technical for me to understand, but can tell that you have put in alot of effort into the concept. A very professional layout. Perhaps can try to simplify it, esp in the explanation part, it will help lay-man to understand it better. Cheers! :)

I have been voting as I go. I wish I would've only voted for this one. If I had a simple switch on the wall to turn off all electronics in a given space I would use so much less energy. I already am trained to turn the light switches off as I leave a room. This is so perfectly practical.
