Ann Makosinski, is a 15-year-old student from Canada’s St. Michaels
University School and she invented a flashlight that is powered by
warmth of human body.
According to her, the human body can provide
enough heat to power her created flashlight and it can come in handy
when you don’t have batteries or cells with you.
Her flashlight design
uses ‘Peltier tiles’, an electronic component which creates energy when
one side is heated while the other side is cooled. Ann also told that
her flashlight would costs only $26 and it won’t require any power
source outside the flashlight.
Makosinski has been chosen as one of 15 finalists for Google’s global
science fair. The judges will choose one winner out of each three
groups in september and decide a lucky final winner with a prize of
$50,000 and a trip to Galapagos Island.
