Washington - An 18-year-old Indian-American girl has
invented a super-capacitor device that could potentially
charge your cellphone in less than 20 seconds.
Eesha Khare, from Saratoga, California, was awarded the
Young Scientist Award by the Intel Foundation after
developing the tiny device that fits inside mobile phone
batteries, that could allow them to charge within 20-30
seconds.
The so-called super-capacitor, a gizmo that can pack a
lot of energy into a tiny space, charges quickly and
holds its charge for a long time, NBC News reported.
Khare has been awarded USD 50,000 for developing the tiny
device. She has also attracted the attention of tech
giant Google for her potentially revolutionary invention.
According to Khare, her device can last for 10,000
charge-recharge cycles, compared with 1,000 cycles for
conventional rechargeable batteries.
"My cellphone battery always dies," she said when asked
about what inspired her to work on the energy-storage
technology.
Super-capacitors allowed her to focus on her interest in
nanochemistry "really working at the nanoscale to make
significant advances in many different fields."
The gadget has so far only been tested on an LED light,
but the good news is that it has a good chance of working
successfully in other devices, like mobile phones, the
report said.
Khare sees it fitting inside cellphones and the other
portable electronic devices proliferating in today's
world.
"It is also flexible, so it can be used in rollup
displays and clothing and fabric. It has a lot of
different applications and advantages over batteries in
that sense," Khare added.
