    Bath Safeguard - Measures the Temperature of Water

    I think the Bath Safeguard invention is very interesting. I tend to be a visual person by nature, and I for one would prefer for the Bath Safeguard to illuminate and tell me the temperature of my bath in lieu of me sticking my palm or foot into scalding waters.

    The Bath Safeguard was designed by Kai Chen. Basically it is a neat little electronic bath plug that emits a color glow reflecting the current conditions of the water. When not in use, place it back on the magnetic induction recharger base.

    The plug itself is made of waterproof silicon, has built in thermal sensors, LED lights, electronic induction charger and a color reference chart on the base that let’s you know what temperature the color emitted signifies.

    So what do you guy think? I think it’s a pretty innovative and nifty invention.
