http://www.gizmag.com Educating children about power usage can be a difficult task. It’s not easy explaining the concept of electricity to a five year old, let alone the fact that we have to pay for it. This cute little pig might help to solve this problem and monitor television and game usage at the same time. Power Hog is a power-consumption meter design concept in the form of a green and silver piggy-bank. You simply plug the tail into the power outlet and the snout into the electric device, feed in some coins and this little piggy does the rest. When the Power Hog is connected the dollar sign glows green, it fades when there is sufficient credit and alerts you that money is running low by blinking red. en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/power-hog-power-meter/11054/#comment-1531 http://www.gizmag.com/power-hog-power-meter/11054/#comment-1531 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 16:29:56 -0500
