Battery Ultracharger

The goal of the project is to create a device that can gather enough energy in two minutes to charge a cell phone. This product is intended for travelers who are short on time and need to recharge their devices, namely a cell phone. This device should be portable.

Background
When people travel they tend to not have a lot of time between connecting flights or when they're on the go. But if their electronic device dies or is low on energy then people run into a problem. If people had a device that could charged in two minutes or less and then be used to charge your cellphone it would make the stress of traveling less.

Deliverables
A device that can charge in two minutes or less and store enough power to charge a cell phone.
