Monitor Electric Usage

 

They say knowing is half the battle.  Well our electric bill has

always been a sore point.  Spending more than $4,000 a year

TED5000

on electricity has always disturbed me.  I just didn't get it.  Then I came upon this little device - the TED5000 - that connects up to your incoming power and reports your real-time usage. It comes with a little hand held remote that displays current kilowatt usage. With it, you can stroll around your home or office shutting things off or turning them on and instantly see the impact the appliance or device has on your meter.
 

If that wasn't enough, it includes its own little web server that provides a slick dashboard  that reports current usage, projected monthly usage and if you load utility rates, your to date charges.  All this for under $400.  I bet it will pay for itself in less than 6 months.

Your Own Lightning Photos 

 

Ever wonder how they get those great pictures of lightning? 

Patience, right?  Not likely. Here is a device that connects to

Lightning

your camera and is an extremely sensitive optical flash sensor responds to lightning flashes and releases the shutter of your camera at just the right moment.   Make sure you follow the instructions and stay at least 6 miles (30 seconds away) just to be safe.

 

OK, so you will want to take pictures of lightning pretty badly to spend $329 for this device.  Click the picture for more information.
