Technology Overview
The Magnetic Power Outlet is a groundbreaking invention developed at Brigham Young University, designed to modernize how devices are connected to power sources. It employs Neodymium magnets and a specialized plug adapter for an effortless magnetic connection. A microcontroller-relay circuit is integrated to ensure power is only supplied when a secure connection is established, significantly enhancing user safety and convenience.
Key Advantages
- Magnetic Connection: Facilitates an easy and secure connection without the need for physical force
- Safety Measures: Incorporates a microcontroller to verify the connection before enabling power, minimizing the risk of electric shock
- User Convenience: Offers accessibility features for individuals with limited mobility and prevents damage from forceful plug removal
Problems Addressed
- Reduces the inconvenience of plugging in devices in hard-to-reach places
- Decreases the risk of electric shock, particularly for children
- Prevents damage to plugs and outlets caused by forceful insertion or removal
- Improves accessibility for outlets located behind furniture or in tight spaces
Market Applications
- Residential homes seeking safer and more convenient power solutions
- Facilities catering to the elderly or individuals with disabilities
- Public and commercial buildings looking to enhance safety and accessibility of electrical outlets
