Indian-American teen invents '20-second' mobile charger 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.
According to Khare, her device can last for 10,000 charge-recharge cycles, compared with 1,000 cycles for conventional rechargeable batteries.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.
