Powering our objects and smartphones is becoming more and more expensive. Two former Samsung researchers had the idea and to revolutionize our old electrical outlet.

Our electricity bills have been soaring in recent years. Plugging in our devices is becoming more and more expensive, which is why more and more researchers and professionals are looking at new solutions. A few years ago, two former graduates of a Samsung institute invented a strange plug capable of supplying a multitude of devices with electricity for free.

This concept, called “Window Socket”, is the work of Kyuho Song and Boa Oh. Two young Korean engineers who had the idea of ​​mixing solar panel technology with that of our electrical outlets. If we are able to produce energy at Using large panels, why not transfer this energy directly to a power outlet??

The “Window Socket” works very simply: it is a power outlet connected to a small solar panel. The latter is surrounded by a membrane that can be attached to a flat surface such as a window. The panel will then capture the energy emitted by the sun and transmit it to the outlet. All you have to do is plug your devices into it to make them work.

The product manual states that it can easily be placed anywhere that sunlight can be captured and then converted into electrical energy. Even better: once the “Window Socket” is charged, it is possible to remove it from its surface and walk around with it as if it were an external battery!

One of the advantages of the “Window Socket” is that it is small. This means you have a socket wherever you go as long as it is charged. The other good side is that this energy is completely free since it does not depend on any supplier except the sun itself. Enough to save some money each month!

The biggest downside of this invention is its capacity which is only 1000 mAh. At a time when our phone batteries range from 3000 to 5000 mAh, this only represents 20 to 30% of their capacity. Not enough to fully charge it. This is one of the reasons why this innovation is still at the prototype stage and its inventors are still working on the subject to improve it with a view to a potential version aimed at the general public. However, we will certainly have to wait a little while since the first prototype was presented over 7 years ago today.
