18yrs Old Girl Invents Device That Can Charge Phone Battery In Just 20 Seconds

A California teen has attracted the attention of tech giants Google for her potentially revolutionary invention which charges a phone in 20 seconds flat.

The super-fast charging device has been dubbed a super capacitor by 18-year-old Esha Khare, of Saratoga - as she took home $50,000 from the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which took placein Phoenix this week.
The device will make waiting hours for a phone to charge a thing of the past and the gizmo packs more energy into a smaller space than traditional phone batteries and holds the charge for longer. Eesha Khare, 18, of Saratoga, Calif.,received the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award of $50,000 for the invention of a tiny energy-storage device With great power: The supercapacitor is flexible and tiny,and is able to handle 10,000 recharge cycles, more than normal batteries by a factor of 10.

So far, Khare has only used her supercapacitor to power a light-emitting diode or LED - but she sees a bright future that one day will see her invention powering cellphones, cars and any gadget that requires a rechargeable battery.

Heading to Harvard, Khare told CBS San Francisco that this is only the start and that she will 'be setting the world on fire' from here. 'My cellphone battery always dies,'she told NBC News when asked what inspired her to work on the energy-storage technology.

Specializing in nanochemistry allowed Khare to reduve the size of her invention.'Really working at the nanoscaleto make significant advances in many different fields.' Khare claimed the top three prizes at this year?s Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix Aspirations: Google have been in contact with Miss Khare to explore how she plans to change the makeup of cell phone battery life 'It is also flexible, so it can be used in rollup displays and clothing and fabric,' Khare added.
'It has a lot of different applications and advantages over batteries in that sense.' The supercapacitor is flexible and tiny, and is able to handle 10,000 recharge cycles, more than normal batteries by a factor of 10.
How an 18-year-old girl has managed to figure out something that multi-national corporations have not has led to her being flooded with offers for her amazing leap forward.

ok great, another jimmy neutron
this will be very useful in nigeria especially for smartphone users

She must be indian or chinko.

WOW!

NICE ONE

Good news!

Kudos. Most of her age-mates in Nigeria don't know how to shutdown a computer.

Wetin konsign Cossy with ds one now?
Abeg park well...

and in another news, a nigerian man has invented brake pads using palm kernel

cap doffing for you two

That will effectively reduce our smart phones to leaflets!

18 years old!!! I wonder what I was doing at that age!

hmmmmmmmmmmm wow. technology is growing Really fast. I actually need this incase nepa should flash their light. oops

Great innovation

Our 18-22yr olds dey cry make make jamb reduce cut off mark to 170 so dat dem go fit enter university go cram wetin one rugged scientist discover before dem born their papa,while this 18yr old dey help the world solve one problem positively..

she don dey make are future, we dey here dey NL..

Great mind!

seedord247: She must be indian or chinko.

but Naija kids aren't doing too badly in America na

Naija girls una dey see am. No be to dey 'nack akpako'and dey do D and C.

Great. Am waiting for the invention to be modified for battery powered cars.

Good one. Hoping to give birth to a child that will achieve and even better this record someday. I love people who use their head a lot.

slap1: Kudos. Most of her age-mates in Nigeria don't know how to shutdown a computer.

Bitter truth.

Meanwhile Teenage girls de chase "ponmo" for here

wow, more of this please. impressive

...Meanwhile her mates dey Naija dey open threads such as: "10 ways to know your boyfriend loves you"

NICE WORK.

Impressing.
