5 INVENTIONS DONE BY TEENAGERS THAT HAVE IMPROVED LIFE.

Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received — hatred. The great creators — the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors — stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of unborrowed vision went
ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won. -(Ayn Rand).

5 inventions done by teenagers.
1. A way to turn Plastic waste into $78 million of Biofuel.


16 year-old Egyptian student Azza Abdel Humid faiad, meanwhile, was at work finding a way to make use of waste plastic. The budding scientist discovered a catalyst that could turn Egypt’s one million tons of annually discarded plastic into a phenomenal $78 million worth of biofuel
each year . She hopes that the development could “provide an economically efficient method for production of hydrocarbon fuel,” and many appear to agree; Faiad has been awarded the European Fusion Development Agreement award at the 23rd European Union Contest for Young Scientists, and is seeking patents for her discovery.

2. A Quantum Space Propulsion System.

It sounds more like something from a science fiction movie than a potentially viable invention from a teenage mind (hence the Prometheus image), but 19-year-old Egyptian physicist Aisha Mustafa’s Quantum Space Propulsion System could send spacecraft into the beyond without using a single drop of fuel. Mustafa believes that the quantum effect can be harnessed in space via the dynamic
Casimir effect and from that, energy can be created to produce a net force that could push, pull or propel a spacecraft. Sohag University has already aided Mustafa with her patent application, and she has said she intends to keep developing the system before it is tested in outer space.

3. A device that can Charge Cell Phone in 20 seconds.

18-year-old Californian Eesha Khare captured everyone’s attention with the creation of a device that could charge cellphones in just 20 seconds and do away with the smartphone battery-related anxiety once and for all. Khare developed a supercapacitor storage device that can store a lot of energy and fit within a cell phone battery. Not only can the device charge the phone at lightning-fast speed, it can also last for a whopping 100,000 charge cycles.

4. A Solar Breakthrough Using Fibonacci Sequence.

13 year-old Aidan Dwyer, is by far the youngest of the brilliant teenage minds in our list. The 7th grader observed the patterns of tree branches while he was on a hike and considered that such patterns could be utilized to improve the efficiency of solar trees. By utilizing the Fibonacci sequence, he was able to generate a formula that produced a solar tree design that appeared to yield 20-50% more power than an equivalent flat solar array. While Dwyer’s calculations weren’t absolutely correct, the biomimicry experiment earned the 13-year-old a provisional patent.

5. Turning Banana Peels into Bio plastic.


16-year-old Turkish student Elif Bilgin developed her very own technique for turning the unassuming banana peel into bioplastics , a discovery which she hopes could reduce dependence on petrochemicals, and make use of some of the 200 tons of banana peel discarded daily in Thailand alone. Her development relies on the properties of the starches and cellulose found in the outer layer of banana peels, which, through a chemical process developed by Bilgin herself, can be transformed into a non-decaying bioplastic.
