CheckTap
CheckTap will stop you from wasting electricity on your PC and peripherals. It could save you up to 50% on your electricity bill and help the environment.
Problem - Unneeded Electricity
Right now I have my PC and a monitor plugged into the mains. I’ve also got a printer, some speakers, scanner and fax machine all using up electricity, even though I’m not using them and have some of them on standby.
If I get up from my desk and go to lunch or the phone goes I won’t be using ANY of these devices but I’m still drawing electricity to them.
This is obviously costing me money.
I could turn them off at the mains but most of the time I’m in a rush and simply forget, I also don’t want the hassle of having to turn them all back on and wait for them to start up.
Solution - CheckTap - Save Up To 50% On Your Electricity Bill
Now a new invention called CheckTap will automatically cut off idle equipment without you having to turn your device off or unplug it, cutting the amount of electricity you use drastically. This is an even better alternative then standby as standby still draws some power.
All you do is install their software on your PC and then plug your PC and peripherals into the CheckTap and away you go.
The software and CheckTap then detect when your drawing energy to your PC or one of its peripherals that you’re not using and shuts it down.
The software you’ve installed will let you know how much energy it’s saved you and shows the consequent reduction of CO2 emissions. It will also allow you to tweak the settings to your own requirements.
The makers also claim a pay-back period of 6 months, after that any money it saves you is money in your pocket.
Well Done
A big congratulations has to go to Mr Jeong-Soo Lee of Incasolution Ltd who won this years “Grand Prix” at the 36th International Exhibition Of Invention in Geneva with the CheckTap.
To win the award they had to beat over 1000 other inventions from 45 different countries.

IT’s a great way to save electricity. Not only will this be brilliant for households think of the money it will save offices.
