DESIGN NAME: The GAN Switch
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Press to Eject Electrical Plugs
INSPIRATION: I was talking on the phone, needed to unplug an electrical plug but my hands were full of papers.This inspired me to create a new device to solve the problem of unable to use one finger to eject the plug
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Normally if someone would want to take out a electrical plug, they would need to switch off the power and pull it out with a considerate amount of energy.This Conceptual but visible idea allows just one finger to do all the job.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: -
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: -
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Idea and Conceptual Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Using see-saw concept, the plug would be ejected from a plastic right underneath the plug when the button on the top of the plug head enclosure is being pressed. And when it is being ejected, the live connection would be cut of as the 'see-saw' leaves the metal strip.
The button does not just function as a button but also as an indicator of whether the electricity is on.
