So eesha invented it in 2013, its 2017 now and i didnt hear anything about it. Am i missing something here?

At 25% light of the weakest battery one, that flashlight isn't practical. Notice how she invented it in 2013 and you still can't buy one.
pronoun
She basically just put peltier tiles on a tube with LEDs and won a Google science fair, she was young and cute, so the media picked it up.

That phone battery charger one, I always thought once we get cars charging faster make them all electric and have electric gas stations
chemistrytyrant
charging batteries fast isn't necessarily a good thing. There kinda like humans, if they go fast, they die fast
OtherPlayers
Big issue is energy density, not charging. Gas goes 14x farther than batteries do. We need more charge per battery, not faster charge speed.

Does said rapid charger damage the battery's usable lifetime in any way?
HeadOfMinistryOfSillyWalks
This post is not correct. She invented a new super-capacitor that degrades slower than other similar ones, not a phone charger.
infernalspectre
Wikipedia says her supercapacitor says it would last for more charging cycles. So lifetime would actually be higher once it is scaled up/
owenversteeg
(1/?) First one is useless, it generates almost no power compared to other sources. The second one is cool, but won't be used anytime soon.
owenversteeg
Third one doesn't actually work (yet), fourth one doesn't seem legit (only one puff article online), fifth one doesn't do anything.

com'on Ann and Eesha - work together and make a phone charger that charges using hand heat
SergeantTerryJeffords
Hand heat? It would be much warmer if you stick it up your... nevermind, that's a bad idea...
TheMarkofKite
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_cooling Nothing special or new, she just plugged one into a lightbulb.
aliendepict
And esha came up with a new capacitor which is really cool but only in concept could charge a phone, she just showed it with an LED light
noneedcaptain
Ann did make one sorta. She built a coffee cup that uses the heat from your coffee to charge your phone. She showed it off on Jimmy Fallon.

Even one that would be able to at least charge the phone to 5% after 10 min would be nice for emergency calls.

I completely agree with you! Law of Conservation of Energy does not.

Haha, guess we have to invent super energy efficient phones for that to happen. But with the battery hogs of today's phones your right.

Increases in IQ, rate of innovation, and overall education rates would suggest that you're just blowing smoke out of your ass

innovators are largely not teenagers and IQ tests aren't really an indicator of intelligence, but I agree with the core of your point

Man I remember when half of imgur jumped on the bandwagon of defending the kid before the whole story got released.
waitdoyounot
What was the whole story? Just read Wikipedia and didn't see anything he did wrong
TheNumberOneHeroAllMight
My point was everyone was defending him because he "just made a clock" until they found out what is was purposely made to look like.
TheNumberOneHeroAllMight
if I remember right the first teacher he showed it to was like alright but you don't need to go flashing it around the school to everyone
TheNumberOneHeroAllMight
And then he went around showing it to a lot of people which caused the big issue.
iPretend
Kids dad likely encouraged him to do it so he could sue the shit out of the school.

He tried to do something similar with his daughter too, but no success.

Source? Cause outside of some Fox News 'theories' I didn't find anything. I didn't search that much though. Wikipedia had nothing either.
