Placing multiple outlets along the entire length of an extension cord seems like a good idea, but like the folks at Yanko Design, I wonder whether the concept would actually be feasible. Conventional wisdom suggests that there would be a problem distributing power to all of the gadgets that are plugged in —but that’s probably why I’m writing about gadgets, not designing them. At any rate, if the device were possible, a cord that would accommodate 3 prong plugs would be necessary. [Yanko Design]

Bunnings here in australia has various types of these extension cords. The one I use at home has a on/off switch for each point along the lead.

If they can do that then maybe they could make the plugs where they can slide to any spot on the cord?
