Girl wins $50,000 for her use of.....a supercapacitor for a cell phone charger


Recommended Posts

Excuse my cynicism, but after looking it up more sure she didn't really invent anything?

Her "device" didn't do anything with a phone, seems like the media is running with it.

"The gadget has so far only been tested on an LED light, but the good news is that it has a good chance of working successfully in other devices, like mobile phones, the report said."

It's not like carbon based energy storage is new. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for young people trying to develop new technology but I just don't see why they gave her 50 grand to develop something that's already being developed.

Well aren't you just a bottle of sunshine......

lol no, I agree with you. don't know how it came about with "inventing" anything

Hey I said excuse my cynicism :P

Mondays are always iffy days.

You want this to happen to you? Give decent handshakes people.

Don't know about inventing, I thinking applying would be a more appropriate term, for which she gets credit for aeeing the opportunity in it.

theres a youtube video of a guy using a small cap bank to start his car......... it shows him hooking it up instead of his battery but who knows if its fake or not. i could theoretically see it working but for how long?
