Abstract

The Power Out Indicator can be engineered to utilize more than one source of energy such as a battery, solar cell, or any other source of energy for the purpose of recording numerical data. Refrigerators and Freezers on the market today have no way to notify the consumer how long they have been without power. The Indicator gives the consumer piece of mind that their perishables are safe to consume.

3. What I claim as my invention is the Power Out Indicator which can be powered by a battery, solar cell, or any other energy source for the purpose of tracking power outages numerically to ensure the safe consumption of perishables for all consumers who have freezers or refrigerators.
