Objectives:
The aim of the study is to find out if the Manually-Operated Emergency Universal
Mobile Phone Charger can charge at least 1 bar of battery for 20 min, if it can charge
more than 2 mobile phones of different brands and/or models at a time.
Eesha Khare, the inventor of the 20-second phone charger, is an 18-year-old student
from Lindberg High School in San Jose California. She was rewarded by Intel for her
invention of a device that can make a 20-second phone charger available on the market in
the future.
METHODOLOGY
A. Materials
Diode
2 types of Capacitor
10 in 1 USB cords
Box
LED Lights
Switch
A. Procedure
Make a box 5.5 inches by 7 inches by 6.5 inches with a pocket 2.5 inches by 2.5
inches by 7 inches. Make two holes opposite to each other. Attach a handle at the top
of the box for easy handling. Use the female end of the cord and cut off the male end.
Four wires will pop out of the cut male end namely; the green & white wires for the
data, the red wire for positive and black wire for negative. Connect the positive wire
of the ceiling fan to one node of the diode, and then connect the other node of the
diode to the input node of the regulator together with one node of the 2 types of
capacitors (black cylinder & blue flat). Connect the other node of the 2 types of
capacitors (black cylinder & blue flat), the negative wire of the ceiling fan, the
negative node of the green LED light, the negative side of the 6- volt battery, the
negative wire (black wire) of the female USB port and one side of another capacitor
(blue flat) to the 2nd node of the regulator. Connect the positive wire (red wire) of the
female USB port to the diode then connect the diode to the output side of the
regulator together with the other side of the capacitor (blue flat), the positive node of
the green LED light and one side of the switch. Connect the other side of the switch
to the positive side of the 6- volt battery. Connect the negative node of the red LED
light to the negative side of the 6- volt battery, and then connect the positive node of
the red LED light to the other side of the switch which was connected to the positive
side of the 6- volt battery.

Table 2 shows if the charger can charge more than one mobile phones at a time.
B. Analysis of Findings
Table 1: This table shows the time of charging for one bar of eight different
brands/models. Out of eight, only six phones will charge at different time rates.
Table 2: This table shows the results of different models of phones that are charged
simultaneously. The results show that the maximum mobile phones it can simultaneously
charge is two and it also varies on the models.
CONCLUSION
The Manually-Operated Emergency Universal Mobile Phone Charger was designed to
charge energy in a mobile phone manually for emergencies and other usage. Upon
conducting the experiments, the researchers found out that it is able to charge energy in
some selected mobile phones based on the test conducted, when it is attached to the
device. It can charge a maximum of two selected cellular phones based on the test
conducted. The researchers conclude that the Manually-Operated Emergency Universal
Mobile Phone Charger is useful during emergencies.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The researchers suggest that the next researcher/s could use perpetual motion for the
charging of the internal battery. To make the device smaller and more portable, the next
researchers can make a smaller box that is enough to hold all the materials for the device.
