Your Mobile Phone fully charged in 30 Seconds!
Thanks to the invention of an 18 year old scientist Imagine getting your mobile phone fully charged just half a minute! That was the thinking drove a teenage Californian girl to create a new technology which allows smartphones to be fully charged in 30 seconds or less. This invention was her response to the Intel-sponsored International Science & Engineering Fair 2013 (IISEF) Eesha Khare, a Student from Saratoga, California, won the second prize with a prize money of $50,000 at the Intel Science Foundation award for developing and showcasing the miniscule device which can be fitted inside mobile phone power cells to aid ultra-fast charging. Dubbed a 'super-capacitor', the component was exhibited at last week's IISEF and shown to power an LED light. The invention could potentially have further reaching applications including that of more efficient smartphone charging and within car battery technology. Khare's energy storage device can repo...
