Bloomfield Hills, MI (July 7, 2010) — Hammerhead International, LLC, has introduced a designed-in-Michigan electrical power savings device aimed at defeating a Phantom Power problem that costs US consumers an estimated forty-three billion dollars a year in wasted electrical power. The device, named LogicPlug, is currently the world's first and only electrical plug that uses proprietary technology to "sense" when an electrical appliance needs power and when it does not — thus eliminating wasted standby energy or Phantom Load by up to 94%.

"Phantom Load is the electricity consumed by an electronic device when it's turned off, but still plugged into an outlet," says Anthony Sopuch, one of the founders of HHI. "This waste occurs in most appliances that use electricity, such as TVs, stereos, computers, and kitchen appliances. So, if you think about all of the items in your home or business that stay plugged in all the time, and are only used occasionally, it's a lot of stuff. But, unless you're an electrical engineer chances are, you never even think about it." Sopuch says that more people should think about it because Phantom Load is stealing money right out of their pockets on a daily basis. "LogicPlug was designed to change that," he says.

The Department of Energy has found that the typical American home has 40 products that are constantly drawing power and 75% of the power used for home electronics is consumed when appliances are off. So for most Americans, a Phantom Load meter is running, even when their appliances are not. In fact, Phantom Load which is sometimes called Vampire Energy or Standby Power, is estimated to steal 43 billion dollars a year and creates 243 million metric tons of CO2 in the U.S. alone.

"LogicPlug is a small, simple, stand-alone device that plugs in between a standard wall outlet and an appliance. It requires no sophisticated hardware knowledge or upgrades, nor human interaction once plugged in," explains Sopuch. "The science is all inside the product. After plugging it in, the only thing consumers will need to know is how to read the savings on their electric bill."

What makes LogicPlug truly different than any other stand-by power reduction device is that LogicPlug senses electricity supplied to an appliance when it is both on and off in order to understand how much electricity is truly needed. It is then able to ensure that power is fully supplied when needed, while at the same time, drastically reducing the amount of electricity supplied when the device is not in use.

Sopuch points out that in addition to saving consumers money, the LogicPlug saves energy that is normally put to waste. "One study estimates that the Phantom Load from televisions alone is equivalent to the waste output of a nuclear power plant," he points out. "If all standby power appliances in California were eliminated, it would not have faced rolling blackouts."

Conceptualized, designed and sold by Hammerhead International, LLC, LogicPlug and LogicPlug PLUS are the worlds first and only intelligent electrical plugs. HammerHead International is a cutting edge company that develops and manufactures energy-saving products and provides green consulting services. HHI utilizes resources from leaders in their respective industries to provide a high quality American-made product. For more information visit logicplug.com or email at info@logicplug.com

Bloomfield Hills, MI (July 7, 2010) — Hammerhead International, LLC, the company that invented the world's first and only electrical plug that uses proprietary technology to "sense" when an electrical appliance needs power and when it does not — thus eliminating wasted standby energy or Phantom Load by up to 94% - is now offering FREE ENERGY AUDITS to interested consumers and companies.

The FREE HHI Energy Audit is designed to help organizations save money while also helping the environment. "Our energy audit is a cost-effective way to help your business collect and analyze data, understand employee awareness regarding environmental issues and create an energy strategy based on your carbon footprint," says J. Anthony Sopuch, one of the founders of HHI. "More businesses and homes have plasma TV's and computers and the kinds of appliances that steal a tremendous amount of Phantom Load, leading to energy costs escalating out of control. A free audit is your first step to fixing this problem," he says.
