YOUNG INVENTORS: 16 year old girl invents battery-less Torchlight!


Ann Makosinski, a 16 year old half-Filipino girl has invented a torchlight that doesn't require batteries, rather it uses the warmth (or radiated heat) of the hand of any person holding it. How the device works? Just hold the flashlight with your palm wrapped around it and it simply comes on, release or drop the device and it goes off. The device which has been nicknamed "The Hollow Thermoelectric Flashlight", was first presented by the young Filipino at the Google Science Fair late last year, and she won the category in her age group. Ann was presented with a trophy made of Legos, a trip to the Lego HQ in Denmark and $25,000 in scholarship.
Now, the question is: what are our fellow ACUites in Faculty of Natural Sciences doing? Isn't it high time they invented so
mething? :D Have your say in the comments bar below.
