Power strips have always been pretty bland over the years generally coming in black or white with the outlets being in a straight line. That is what has been the case for well over 20 years and not a lot has changed. We have seen some in the past few years which allow them to come in different shapes to accommodate that ever growing need to provide power to computers and devices. And with all the USB charge cables we have been collecting, the ordinary power strip does not handle those though some of the recent ones provide for that. Given the straight line power strips, wouldn't you like to see a power strip which can do more. The TwistVolt gives you a power strip along with providing a unique form which looks very interesting.
The TwistVolt is currently looking for funding over at Dragon Innovations where TwistVolt is an active project. This has been out there for only a few days with a goal of raising $95,000. While the goal may seem high, this one is really worth taking a look at. With all the connections to power strips that I have, it seems there are always wasted plugs because some power blocks are just two big and cover over 3 outlet plugs instead of one. There is almost always one plug that seems to go in sideways and takes up 2 power outlets. These reduces the usability of a power strip to plug in devices. The TwistVolt is going to change this problem.
While there are alternatives to this problem, TwistVolt looks to be a very unique solution to the problem allowing one to use each and everyone of the 6 power outlets without having to worry about that power block that is large. There are many different ways that you can twist the TwistVolt with its 7 joints so this is very flexible for you to use and there will always be a way to twist it to take advantage of the 6 outloets. But, that is not all there is to the TwistVolt. It comes with USB conectitions as well and depending on your contribution level, you can get 1 or up to 8 USB charging ports to handle the growing number of devices we all seem to collect.
One might think that this is all there is to the TwistVolt, but you would be wrong. They have added circuits into the product to clean the power flowing through it and while you may not think that is something to be concerned about, it is. This will regulate the power. With that, they will also be providing power to make sure that your devices are getting the amount of power they require to be charged up. We have talked about how different USB ports deliver different watts. Well here is one that will handle that for you.
And there is more. We all know that when you are charging up a USB device that once that device gets charged up, anything after that charging may just be wasted energy. The TwistVolt is going to have technology that senses when your device is charged. And when it senses that, it will reduce to the power to that USB port to be a fraction of what it was. All of these items make this a unique product.
The TwistVolt is scheduled to be shipped to those who contribute to the campaign for delivery in May 2014 if they meet their funding goal. This excellent looking product needs backers and you can contribute at various levels starting at $49 and up from there providing you at least 1 USB port. Higher amounts give you more USB ports. If you have a lot of devices which charge via USB, this looks like a great product for you to have.
