Open Source Hardware With Proper Voltage

Imagine being able to tweet your watts to others in an effort to lower your energy costs! What was once a bit out of reach is now quite doable thanks to these new Tweet-a-Watt kits. Considering how big of a heel you would appear to be if you were seen as the biggest “user”, this device provides what some might describe as necessary motivation to conserve power, whenever possible.

Provided to all as open source hardware, meaning it is open for all to take and expand on, the Tweet-a-meter concept is likely to catch on in a very big way amongst those who like to “tinker with their Twitter”…which may sound rather wrong, but we assure Lockergnome readers it is just an overabundance of T’s, nothing creepy despite how it might sound to the untrained ear.

So what does it cost to get started? Well first of all, you will need to get yourself a Kill-a-Watt device, which are said to run at about $20 USD. Then you will need to drop another $90 for the kit itself.

For those of you who feel this is a bit too rich for your blood, consider how much you could potentially be saving over the course of a year with vampire power usage when not thinking green? Just something to think about…
