Omnidirectional Outlet Plugs

The 'V.O' Magnetic Power Adapter Works in 360-Degrees

— June 2, 2016 — Art & Design
Despite the electrical outlet being an essential component in the modern household it hasn't really received much of an update over the years until now with the 'V.O' magnetic power adapter. Working with any outlet and any device or plug, the 'V.O' works by being plugged into an outlet. From here, users can connect their item or device to the accompanying adapter and place it near the main unit. The magnetic attraction will snap it into place and instantly deliver electrical current.

The 'V.O' magnetic power adapter requires no hardwire installations and works in 360-degrees, which means you'll never have to readjust your plug to be inserted correctly. The 'V.O' comes in two design options including the USB Charger adapter or the Universal A/C adapter.
Trend Themes
1. Omnidirectional Plugs - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new plug designs that can be inserted into outlets at any angle, eliminating the need for readjustment.
