I tried to invent exactly what this girl did now in 2010 but I only succeeded in making destop charger charge battery faster. What inspired me was the number of batteries I see in some parks in lagos then being charged in phone boot while the passengers will collect their battries half charged. I wish I can meet this girl I will show her my dead destops I used then. Naija is not encouraging when it comes to invention if not I would have succeeded before this girl.

wiegraf: Fear hook me. The years of the lone einsteins are probably gone. She didn't invent it, this guy and his partners did a while back www.chemistry.ucsc.edu/faculty/singleton.php?&singleton=true&cruz_id=yatli
He supervised her. That said, it's still a hugely impressive feat for an 18 year to be able to grasp and replicate the experiments. Even better if she added some refinements of her own (dunno)

Maybe na him pikin?

And i was reading the stupid comment one NLer had to say abt girls being only interested in relationships, gossips and sanitry pads. I wish tht guy is seeing this and being put to shame.

This kind of achievement by a woman can only happen in an environment were women are allowed to be free to express, and are not caged behind veils all in the name of piety.

Let the power of God be shown in and through evry kind be it male or female.

For the record. I am Male.

Most of her mates in America are all about boys too.
In fact, I'm sure her high school cheerleaders must have called her a nerdy loser sometime or the other.

The events of this world is so unpredictable and amazing. When we think that technology have reached its peak, an intention will just pop up out of thin air. Look at the series of intention of film viewing as a case study, from turn-table to analog projectors to vhs to vcd to dvd to blue ray to satellite decoders and online video streaming. My fellow Nlanders the things that are yet to be invented are three times more than the things that have been produced already, so go into ur rooms and get a decent meal. Focus and get ur brains thinking cos u might just turn out to b the next bill gate tomorrow.

I said that cos I can't beat the age again. On my own,I have developed at least 6 projects that would be worldwide renowned. It's just the finance that's holding me back. The finance to bring them to fruition is not what an individual can provide(except the inividual is in them Dangote and Bill gates level. I know one day,it will come true though.

Lol.. Did i hit a nerve? Is it my fault that you haven't done anything reasonable yet in your miserable despicable and frustrating life.. Iddiot,be ashamed at yourself,at 22 you're still waiting for jamb to reduce cut off mark to 170..LMAO
All thanks to seun and the internet,dogs like you have the oppurtunity to even talk to people like me.I wont even spit on you in real life cos you're a worthless pig.Your frustration stinks all over the place you failed worthless baboon..
I wont even bother saying what i've achieved here but know this "even if your 5th generation to come appear now and join you in your miserable struggle,working 365 days non-stop,all of you collectively will never achieve 1/4 of what i get in a week"...

author=MalasparkBlog]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.

Kudos to the young lady. I believe the problem is a lot of bright minds who'll rather queue up for job interviews in 'flashy' companies, where their creative abilities will be sucked dry al for peanuts salary. Rather than using their minds to think their way out of poverty. “use your brain for yourself or someone else will pay you to use it for them“ -Henry Ford
