Keep track of your water usage, temperature with the Faucet Buddy

faucet-buddy.jpgAre you a water waster? It's certainly possible, but how are you to know exactly how much water you use when you do things like washing the dishes or brushing your teeth? All you can do is make a guesstimate, and that's not all that accurate.

More accurate? The Faucet Buddy. It's a faucet that counts exactly how much water you use, letting you know just how wasteful you really are. It also lets you pinpoint just how hot the water is, so you don't burn yourself sticking your hand into 120-degree water without realizing it. It's just a concept for now, but if it gets made you can look forward to keeping both the earth and your hands just a little bit safer.

It needs some kind of input device that would indicate temperature and pressure.
The indicator should be passed through the pipe coming through the hole of the device. Some kind of water resistant material or something. You take the other guy's idea of some kind of micro controller/computer that computes the equation for celsius and farenheit using the input gained from the indicator as well computes the pressure by fluid volume. This information can be outputted to the led that the controller will be connected to. Good Luck I'd love to see a product like that in action
