Bailey Page from Australia decided to invent a new wireless phone charger after noticing a gap in the market for it when his own mobile ran out of battery on a night out.

A university student who came up with a new business idea while he was on a night out has now made more than $100,000 . Bailey Page, from Queensland, Australia decided to invent a new wireless phone charger after his mobile ran out of battery while he was ordering an Uber home from a nightclub.

The 22-year-old looked online for a cable-free charger that could fit in his pocket the following day but couldn't find one, the Mirror reports. He then decided to make his own and put his savings into developing the Zip Zap charger during his final year of his studies. His nifty invention clips onto the device and charges it in two hours and was a hit among consumers as Bailey sold out his initial stock of 200 within a fortnight in 2021. He then secured 1,500 of further sales across his homeland the following month. Within six weeks he'd hit his goal of selling 2,000 chargers in a year.

Recalling how he came up with the idea and the work he put in to develop it, he said: "My third year essentially, I just had to focus on getting uni complete while I did my studies. "It was just a lot of late nights and weekend work to really cover up on what I couldn't do through the week when I was at uni. I thought to myself, you know what, if I failed, I at least had a go.""It's always good to get outside eyes looking in and giving you feedback. You can never fail with starting and the biggest hurdle is actually just starting."Don't miss the latest news from around Scotland and beyond - Sign up to our daily newsletter here .
