The “inlet outlet” allows users to give power back to the grid to counteract energy consumption. The concept was one of 50 finalists at this year’s Greener Gadgets Design Competition, which was held last Friday, February 27, in New York City.

(PhysOrg.com) — Ever wish you could you power your home’s electrical appliances with the energy you generate on your exercise bike? A new concept called an “inlet outlet” could allow homeowners to put power from kinetic household activities – such as exercise equipment – back into the grid through a wall socket, helping to lower electricity bills. Basically, the inlet outlet would be the opposite of a typical wall outlet.
This is an interesting new design and to be honest if it saving money that is the most important thing when it comes to paying electric bills!
Well its just another way for a goverment to make money
