18 Yrs old Reinvents Phone's Battery

Since the last live stream, Linus has been complaining about phone battery. Lets just hope this come to life. 
 

My take: If I could charge my phone that fast, and last that long, that would be out of this world. And it is coming from an 18 yrs old teen. Pretty awesome.

Wow that's awesome, I hate having to charge my phone all the time.

I hope it really works and takes off as a viable option for consumers

Hopefully we see this technology implemented soon, although I won't expect anything anytime soon.

OT: Good for her, better patent her technology and license it out to every vendor possible for maximum profits!

I'm pretty sure that's just graphene and she didn't invent that. Andre Geim and Konstantin Novolesov did and got a Nobel Prize in 2010 for their discovery of graphene. It's flexible and can be used as a supercapacitor.

A $50K reward is peanuts in comparison to what she'd make in royalties for licensing it as a patent.

i feel so bad that she actually published all that info to intel.

 

 

should have patented it and pulled an apple.

Yeah she got pwned if she only gets $50k out of this...

Judging by the writer's blog, he does like his click-baiting articles.

 

Probably way too premature to be really talking about it as if it could totally proliferate within the next 2 years. Honestly, even without the battery life (ie it stays as is or marginally better), achieving a consistent and reliable fast charging solution would be enough.

 

Slightly tangent but on topic for the live stream,

I think it's likely the reason Linus and most of us have been lamenting as to why we haven't heard about any new battery tech in a while is simply because whoever comes up with a viable solution would make a lot of money. So after talking about it a little, things go quiet for R&D and testing.

Holy crapola! That's impressive. I'm not holding my breath on it though, it'll be years before the big bad companies would release that to market. This would likely kill any need for disposable batteries, which I'm sure the manufacturers wouldn't be comfortable with.

Yeah I mean I wonder how much they personally spent even developing it.

Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?

If Intel rips her off for only 50k, I feel very sorry for her. Potentially awesome breakthrough though, will be interested to see how it develops!

Sounds all fantastic and such, but you guys are all forgetting that she's not talking about batteries. The thing she is talking about is a capacitor, something that has been readily available for decades... I don't know why she's so special to get 50k, because supercaps already exist for a few years now.

 

The one thing that you're all forgetting here is that capacitors have a voltage drop when they're being discharged, meaning that the voltage will drop exponentially as there is less charge in the cap left. This means that a cap with the same amount of energy stored inside as a particular battery,  won't bee able to power the device for as long as the battery would. The reason for this is that electronic devices do not only need a particular amount of energy fed to it every second (also called power [watt]), it also needs that energy delivered at the right potential (voltage). If the voltage drops below a certain treshold, the device won't function, even if there still is a lot of 'charge' left in the capacitor.

 

At the moment, I'm still a skeptic, but it would be nice to see capacitors powering all our devices. Nature woud benefit from that as well! By the way: supercaps have already been used as a substitute and/or enhancement for car batteries, as shown in the video below. you'll see that capacitors don't hold their charge as well as the article makes it appear.
