I am going to create an energy-recording device that informs people about how much power appliances in the home or office use when on stand-by or just on. The device will work by one small plug-in device that is the recorder of consumption of WATTS and AMP that the appliance chosen is using and how much that is costing the user. When the small device is plugged in and recording the energy that an appliance is using, the edge of it will be lit with a blue LED light. The recorder then wirelessly transfers the data to the LCD screen that is placed on the desk, bench or desired obvious position in the building for the user to see all the time. The LCD screen has the options of what appliances you wish to record and you can also choose to compare that appliance to another appliance that is being recorded too. The LCD screen has an easy navigation system with a touch screen for ease, and large readable figures and is also powered by batteries. Depending on the use-age of the appliance, the figures on the screen will stay black unless the use-age of the appliance is high, then the figures will be red to help the user realise the amount of energy that the appliance is using. The aim of my energy-saving device is mostly to make people realise how much energy is being wasted when appliances are left on stand-by.
