Turbo smartphone charger maxes out battery in 30 seconds
An Israeli start-up has showcased a hi-tech smartphone charger which harnesses the power of nanotechnology which can charge a flat battery to full within a mere 30 seconds.
StoreDot unveiled their prototype at Microsoft’s Think Next conference in Tel Aviv in which they demonstrated the machines capabilities on an out of juice phone, powering it up fully inside half a minute.
To achieve its whippy performance the battery makes use of ‘bio-organic nanodots’, tiny conducive crystals which allow the battery to fill up more quickly.
Currently the gizmo is too cumbersome to be used on your phone but despite this its designers believe it could be compacted and be made commercially available by ‘late 2016’.
Speaking to TechCrunch StoreDot co-founder Dr Doron Myersdorf said: “The only disadvantage is that the industry is not ready for it. We are talking about a new type of materials that can be introduced into different types of devices."
