Khare, from California, has just been awarded $50,000 for discovering a
simple tech; A super-capacitor phone charger that could charge up
a mobile phone in 20 seconds.
She was awarded the Young Scientist
Award by the Intel Foundation after developing a tiny device that can last
up to 10,000 charge-recharge cycles. (Rechargable batteries can only
be recharged about 1000 times).
She created a device that fits
inside mobile phone batteries, allowing them to charge within 20-30 seconds.
Unfortunately this
gadget has so far only been tested on an LED light, but the good news is
it worked just as it was supposed to, meaning it has a good chances of
working successfully in other devices like your mobile phone too.
Khare told the NBC she was inspired to create a practical solution after growing frustration that her mobile phone kept dying.
