An app that claims to recharge phone batteries in 30 seconds has been publicly endorsed by the Fijian government, despite experts saying it defies the rules of thermodynamics. The creators of the app – American Douglas Stewart and Fijian businessman Gaurangbhai Patel – said their invention took two years to complete and was a world-first. “It is a pleasure to launch this world-changing app in Fiji,” said Stewart at the launch party. “I would like to go back to America with one billion users.”The mobile app claims to store excess battery power when an Android smartphone is charged overnight. The launch party for InstaCharge was held at the Grand Pacific hotel in Suva, the capital of Fiji, which the creators of InstaCharge have selected as their world headquarters.
