Video: Clever woman designs a better British power plug
While North American electrical plugs aren’t exactly tiny, our poor Ukensian brothers and sisters have to deal with horrible three-pronged knobs that turn British power cords into injection molded bolas. (Are they so big because there’s a fuse in the plug itself as standard?)
Sip your coffee deep then, as did I, so you may properly choke when this woman shows her idea for a folding plug that is as thin as a MacBook Air, but fully compliant with the UK plug standard, fuse and all. Screaming downstairs about how awesome it is when she shows the extra design for a multi-port plug when you mistake the sound of your dog for your girlfriend, then experiencing terrifying vertigo when the ceiling screams back, is—as always—completely optional. (Thanks, Charlie!)
