A power strip that might prevent these fires

On: HP & Dell Face Lawsuits From Exploding Hardware

There's no substitute for good manufacturing, testing, and proper usage. Unfortunately, no guarantee of it either. So....

I'm developing a power strip with smoke detector in it. It shuts off anything plugged into it at the first sign of smoke. Haven't found a manufacturer for it yet.

Prototype here.
