@concerned: I agree, I was going to comment on that aspect as well. It’s a well known recommendation to always fully unroll a coil before using it, and I don’t see that happening with these kind of applications. Also, when someone trips over the cord it could lead too significantly more damage to the socket or wall than a conventional extension cord…

Will not having a rolled up coil of wire with a charge going through it produce heat and lead to a fire?

ehh.. it sort of bores me. you could just have this outside of the wall, not have to change your plugs to fit your weird, futuristic sockets, and you won’t have to expend the space between your sheetrock and your outer wall’s plywood.

blow me.

Add a button for rolling up the cord like on a vacuum cleaner and I would buy it for every new outlet ever.

OR, you could just consider your cords when you place a mirror… it seems like much less of a hassle.

This is a great idea, but the engineering behind getting it to retract would require a slightly larger space in the wall than the space of one outlet.

It could be spring loaded, working in a similar way to a vacuum cleaner’s cord retraction feature.

And what is the easy way to get in in there again? Just push and hope it’ll roll up neatly?
