  • lol at the stu stu stu studder

  • @FailMoy Should I really spell out everything??geez... Theres been developing technology of wireless eletricity already, and actually on the market.

    the best UK plug design? dont u think thats a bit arrogant? It looks absolutely great, but just a 'prototype'. OKAY?Think big

  • @FailMoy hey. kid, look. I dont get what u mean by the best(its prototype yet), but I want to remind u how technology has driven our market so fast. And thats caused problems either on our society and environment. Go finish ur homework first.

  • Look so nice. nifty! But it doesn't solve problem, but just shift..unfortunately.

    Andf as soon as u have new technology plug, such as the wireless power supply, it'll be just gone. So, just wonder, when it'll come out.

  • One reason for BS 1363 in 1947 was to reduce the number of child deaths caused by sockets. It succeeded brilliantly.

    This plug fails to meet BS 1363 safety features for at least two reasons, access to fuse is possible when in socket, and there must be 9.5mm from pin to periphery of plug, not met when wings are folded.

    It is illegal to supply plugs which do not meet BS 1363.

    Is it appropriate to honour the design of an illegal object - did no one think of checking?

  • Superb design ... hope we start seeing these on products soon.

  • Has he actually tried pluging this into a typical UK socket. Most are quite stiff and this plug looks like it could easily break off in the socket, exposing the live conductors.

  • Congratulations to Mr. Min Kyu Choi for winning the Brit Insurance Design of the Year award.

  • Stunningly simplistic solution to an age old problem. Brilliant.
