Check out this cool concept for from designer Lee Young Don.
The Saverclip is a gadget shaped like a tie pin that reads electric usage on any power cable it’s clipped onto.
The device works by reading the electromagnetic fields emitted by said devices. Conversely, this is also how it recharges itself. The embedded LCD displays information in laymen terms so you clearly understand just how much power you’re using, wasting, and could be saving.
This is a cool looking concept, which monitors how much power your devices use, it would be nice to see some sort of energy saving function incorporated into the design.

That is the most gimmicky looking ammeter I have ever seen. I can’t say this is exactly new technology, but it is kinda neat looking.

True, but people today are usually more into the better looking products today than the ones that work with all the extra features. It looks like this one “just works”
