What an effin' awesome design.
Somebody give that designer enough money to make this concept a reality.

That's a superb piece of design. I wonder what the MTBF is.

Envisaged. I think that's the word they really want.

Neat design. Let's hope it makes it into production - elf'n'safety willing.

I had a travel adapter that was extremely similar in design.

Moving parts break.

Could be a problem

Been thinking about this = yes moving parts break. Also, the BS standard for our plugs requires the socket is shielded, so the folding plug should not be able to carry a live current unless it’s fully unfolded. It‘s a nice idea, but it could be a death trap.
