Teen invents body heat-powered flashlight

first step toward a light saber~

Not the first step, but it's getting there.

Don't you just love clever girls.

Hmm.
No one said fleshlight yet.
Weird.

Interesting

Yeah, pretty cool... but...
make it powerful enough to keep a smart phone charged, THEN you'll really have something!

Light sabers have been wround for a long time..

Ah I thought it said fleshlight not a stupid flash light!

the device only works in temperatures under 50 degrees,
so it's only usable in the winter

This is old news and it has been in google news since 4 days now. Not sure why this has got a pin.. and what should make you think is, there are around 15 other projects that are selected to finals and they are not listed.

I really hate when news articles claim some stupid teenager with well-to-do parents "invented" something. Puhlease. Assembling a bunch of ready made components while daddy helps does not make someone an inventor.

That is simply awesome!

Guess what I misread a certain word as

She is such jail bait ...

... and talking about body heat no less.

Wait a minute ... she ripped off the machines from "The Matrix"!!! (using human body heat to produce electricity)

next step military steps in takes her idea

FIRST THING i THOUGHT OF ffs CAPS!!!!!!!!!!!


first the human powdered flashlight next stop total enslavement of Humans for powerplants.

YAY

Fleshlight? What?
Edit
Dammit someone already said it. Lol.

wonder if this would help with fleshlight, save batteries

I thought those were already self powered,

should be

This. There's a HS girl near me that "discovered" a new star. Of course this discovery happened at home while using her rich dad's super expensive telescope and equipment. If she was born into a working class family, she wouldn't have discovered shit.

As far as this flashlight invention, it could be useful in the future because led technology is getting more and more efficient, and it'd be great to get away from batteries as they're bad for the environment and the rechargeables are a fire hazard while charging, but I think if led technology ever got that efficient, then one lithium battery should power a flashlight for years. In other words, this is an invention that I guarantee many flashlight companies already thought of, but the led technology is no where near good enough for it to be anything other than a gimick. But we'll just massage the ego of a youngster instead and pretend like they invented the wheel.

Not trying to hate, it really would be cool, but we're many many years away from this being doable, and when it is doable, it will be thanks to the engineers who are improving led technology at a blistering pace, and not some girl who is piggybacking off that technology. When the led technology is there, the engineers will come up with a way to power the light other than batteries. Trust me, that's the easy part.

Does she have a speech impediment.

she's probably a stupid native

stupid?

she's 15 and invented a fucking flashlight powered by her body heat

at 15 you were probably trying to give yourself a blowjob

don't you like better when they say they started as teanagers in the garage...with the help of sunmicrosystem and cia
