PumPing Tap- It pops the plug out of the socket

PumPing Tap concept

The PumPing Tap was even one of the winners of the Red Dot Design Concept award.

Designers have created the PumPing Tap, a concept electrical socket that can detect an unused power cord and physically eject it from the wall.

The PumPing Tap is actually pretty simple in design. Sensors in the circuit detect whether the plug is actively using electricity, and, if it isn't, the light on the outside turns from blue to red. Ten minutes later, if the device is still switched off, a spring-loaded mechanism pops the plug out of the socket like a projectile from a toy dart gun. As far as methods for cutting down on power consumption go, this one is very direct.
