Piggybank Power Monitor

20100127701

The Power-Hog is an attractive design from the Greener Gadgets Design Competition, and the concept is all about helping the users to develop an awareness of energy conservation. Shaped like a lovely pig, Power-Hog is actually a power monitor that needs to be activated by putting a coin into the metering piggy bank before you use it and a coin offers about 30 minutes of electronics use.
