Indian-American student develops a capacitor than can charge cellphone in 20 seconds.
An Eighteen year old Indian-American teenage girl Eesha Khare from Saratoga, California, invented a super capacitor that can charge cell phone in 20-30 seconds.
This super charger can be installed inside the cell phone battery. According to Eesha, this technology can handle 10,000 charge/recharge cycles, while most modern battery only can handle 1000 charge /recharge cycles. And also have many advantages over current batteries.
So far this new technology is only been tested on LED light, and also it have a great chances to work with other devices like cellphones and also flexible environmentslike bendable displays, fabrics and clothing's.
The project is named as "Design and Synthesis of Hydrogenated TiO2-Polyaniline Nanorods for Flexible High-Performance Supercapacitors." For this project she was awarded $50,000 by Intel Foundation-Young Scientist Award.
Big players like Google has been already contacted with her, she not yet revealed any details about that.
