Teenage Girl Invents 20-second Mobile Phone Charger (PHOTOS)

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.

In 2008, they welcomed a daughter, that same year, Jeta married Mbong. They later moved from their base in Abuja to Los Angeles so Jeta could work on his movie projects. Continue to read why they broke up...so heartbreaking for such a young couple and maybe there's a lesson to be learnt here... Here's what I heard happened between them. Mbong met Jeta when she was so young, married him and became a mother in her early twenti...
