It's quite silly that the way in which many power bars are manufactured, several of the included outlets are rendered impossible to use. The design of the Modular Power Strip increases the capacity of the supplementary power source, facilitating the connection of bulky adapters in a way that doesn't cover up adjacent sockets.
William Harris's concept combines a lengthy hub and a series of four outlets. Each of these power points is a separate unit, and at least two of them are capable of rotating 45 degrees around so that they're clear on either side. This allows you to plug in the bulky adapters attached to external hard drives and video gaming consoles. You might even choose to shift the Modular Power Strip components to face the direction of the appliance.
