Tarek Shaaban, an Egyptian inventor, has successfully tested his Safe Electrical Connection in Buildings system to demonstrate that it eliminates the risk of electric shocks and reduces energy consumption significantly. After earning a patent by the Egyptian Academy of Scientific Research and Technology in 2008 and more recent evaluation by the Benha Company for Electronic Industries, the invention won a gold medal at the Geneva International Invention Fair in 2017.
The system ‟transforms electricity voltage from 220V to 14V, making it safe and saving money, without sacrificing the quality of lighting,” Shaaban explains. ‟[It] protects from the dangers of fire and death caused by electric shocks, as it does not pose any risk when the wires touch each other or when they are exposed to water.”
Saving more than 85 percent of energy consumption and adding safety benefits, Shaaban’s invention is exprected to be a big success once it is commercialized. The next step is to scale up production.
