More than ten years ago, "universal charging" was a must-have charging item for every family. So do you know who invented universal charging? The inventor of Universal Recharge is actually an 18-year-old boy named Chen Tianhan. At the 18th Youth Science and Technology Competition in 2003, there was a boy who attracted a lot of attention.

He successfully invented the universal recharge with just many experiments. He is known as the father of universal recharge. He also obtained a patent fee of tens of millions of yuan and a notice from Tsinghua University with this patent. So how is Chen Tianhan, who was known as a genius in Henan at that time, now?

1. The little genius who loves to disassemble

More than ten years ago, when technology was not developed, mobile phones needed to use removable batteries. When the phone was out of power, users needed to take out the battery to charge. The entire process of is much more troublesome than today's USB interface fast charging or wireless charging.

Henan genius Chen Tianhan invented universal charging, which successfully brought great convenience to people at that time. So how could a child Chen Tianhan invent such a useful thing? He was born in 1985 and is from Zhengzhou, Henan Province.

More than ten years ago,

What Chen Tianhan liked to do since he was a child was to disassemble some of the things that could be disassembled at home and then assemble them. Some things were not even assembled by his child, but he still liked to put them neatly and study them carefully. Chen Tianhan's grandfather's family has a lot of used batteries, which is a "treasure settlement" for him.

2. Soil the seeds of inventors

Chen Tianhan has been a child who likes to think since childhood. He has a curiosity about everything and will actively ask questions to teachers and classmates when encountering problems. Chen Tianhan's grades were very good, and he was successfully admitted to a very famous local middle school. After going to junior high school, Chen Tianhan came into contact with the subject of old physics. He was deeply attracted by the interesting experimental phenomena, so he listened carefully in every class and thought fully after class. As the saying goes, "Interest is the best teacher." Chen Tianhan's physics grades are also among the best because of his own love.

He was able to invent universal charging mainly because of an incident at the 2002 Spring Festival family gathering. The family sat together for dinner, but Uncle Chen Tianhan's phone suddenly ran out of battery. Chen Tianhan gave his father's charger to his uncle, but due to different models, he still couldn't charge it. In the end, Chen Tianhan had to go to his neighbor's house to borrow a charger, and he successfully solved this problem.

More than ten years ago,

After this incident, Chen Tianhan kept thinking, why is there no charger that can solve all the charging problems of mobile phones? How can we resolve the problem of mismatch between the charger and the mobile phone? So Chen Tianhan made up his mind to solve this problem.

After school started, he went to the teacher to report his thoughts, but because the problem was very difficult to solve, the teacher also advised the child to give up this idea as soon as possible. But for Chen Tianhan, he will not be easily defeated by difficulties.

3. The father of universal charging

Chen Tianhan used his leisure time to reasonably allocate tasks without delaying his studies. Every weekend, he would take his plan to check different mobile phone batteries in various mobile phone stores, and read related information.

After a lot of research, Chen Tianhan found that most mobile phone batteries are actually similar. The only difference is that the contact points of the batteries are different. Therefore, as long as this problem is solved, can achieve the ideal state of "one charger to charge all mobile phones".

More than ten years ago,

Chen Tianhan devoted himself to research and finally successfully invented the universal recharge when he was 18 years old and applied for a patent. With this invention, he also won the first prize in the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition. Tsinghua University noticed the child’s highlights and sent an invitation letter to Chen Tianhan, hoping that he could be admitted to Tsinghua . Just like that, Chen Tianhan took to a bigger stage with his universal charging.

4. Summary

Chen Tianhan worked hard to study news knowledge after entering Tsinghua University. After graduation, he also successfully entered Sohu and became a glorious media person. Then, he switched to the People's Daily to work in mainstream media for a while.

More than ten years ago,

In 2013, Chen Tianhan joined the Public Relations Department of Youxin Group as the head; he liked the challenge and chose to join in 2018, HNA Group was responsible for brand promotion. Now 37-year-old Chen Tianhan has created a brilliant history on his life path. hopes that he can continue to realize greater value in his life in the future.
