I WANT THIS NAAAAOW!
-
I'd like to see it charge up a phone in 20 seconds please.
-
I heard Google has already contacted her.
-
So she invented...a capacitor? Are you serious? Yeah it charges quickly, but it also discharges quickly. Have fun dumping 4 volts directly into your cell phone in a few milliseconds.
-
It'll never take off because the lithium ion industry would be screwed. They profit off the fact that Li-ion batteries suck.
-
How could and 18 year old invent something so much better then what we have? She must be hella genius.
-
Would bang
-
Wow that's incredible!
-
Interesting
-
She went to my school.
-
So, how long is it going to take for some company to steal the idea, claim it as their own, and leave the poor kid with none of the millions or billions they are sure to make?
-
When I read this, the first thing that came to mind was capacitor.
-
I built a thing that powers an LED when you slam a metal rod through it. Unfortunately, my "Bang Your Way To A Greener Future" campaign isn't taking off.
-
Willing to bet that battery is really dangerous.
-
I was at that Science Fair. Unfortunately I didn't get to see this one but I heard them announce it over the intercom.
