If you'll just plug this into the socket...

Various kinds of plugs and sockets are in use.

You never have to worry about plugging these things in again.

Will you be my power plug?

Don't you know there's a war on, jack?

John La Grou plugs smart power outlets

They hadn't invented the electric socket yet.

There are 10 billion electrical outlets in North America alone.

Rooms in leading hotels may have 110 volt outlets.

Did you know that if you plug a pickle into an electrical outlet, it glows and makes buzzing noises?

The 10 seconds actually are because we I don't know if any of you have ever thought about plugging a T.V. in when you use just a cord.

And the power outlet needs to be smart enough to do it.

And they couldn't yank the cord out because it was screwed into a light socket inside the house.

Any electrical device an appliance, an extension cord, whatever must be able to tell the power outlet, Hey, power outlet, I'm drawing too much current. Shut me off now, before I start a fire.

Transposons are just small pieces of DNA that randomly insert in the genetic code.

And you might think that that was incredibly stupid of our ancestors to be plugging things into a light socket like this.

And if they insert in the middle of the gene, they disrupt its function.

They would each room typically had a light bulb socket at the top.

The light socket in the bathroom or the carbon monoxide in the garage ?

An intelligent receptacle prevents injuries because the power is always off, until an intelligent plug is detected. Simple.

It's absurd. We have power outlets in every room of every building. We have running water.

So there was 240 volts going through these homemade copper wires, homemade plug.

Outer socket made by using heated high density polyethylene pipes, rather than using heated sheets.

And we put an inexpensive, wireless data reader inside the receptacle so they could communicate.

And as I said before, they hadn't invented the electric outlet either, so the washing machine was a particularly dangerous device.

But I have been taking beautiful notes of drawings and I have a gorgeous onion from Murray Gell Mann's talk.

And he was thinking, With all the electricity that's out there in the walls, why couldn't some of that just come into the phone so I could get some sleep?

So we made a map of all the genes that could take transposon insertions and we called those non essential genes.

Perhaps more interesting about this little engine is it'll burn any fuel, because some of you might be skeptical about the capability of this to have an impact, where most of the world you can't simply plug into your 120 volt outlet.

So we considered all of this. And we realized that electrical appliances must be able to communicate directly with the power receptacle itself.

For security reasons, all media representatives will be required to wear both their United Nations grounds pass and national press identification at all times.

Now, to a human audience, I need to explain that if Penthouse magazine had a marine mammal edition, this would be the centerfold.

First of all, this got installed upside down. This light socket and so the cord keeps falling out, so I taped it in.

Well, I suppose that hooks on here with a couple of little pins.

This invention will reduce global energy consumption by allowing remote control and automation of every outlet in every home and business.
