The outlet is switched via capacitive touch sensor and relay circuit. Touch sensor is driven by the Quantum (Atmel) QT100 chip. The sensor is connected to the wire, which is still connected to the spool. The spool of wire used is intended for motor windings, but worked well for this application since it is quite thin. The clicking sound is the relay switching the outlet off and on. Schematic and background will be posted here later.
Video taken with my cell phone which is why the quality is so bad.
