Super soaker 50

Super Soaker is an American brand of recreational water gun that uses manually-pressurized air to shoot water with greater power, range, and accuracy than conventional squirt pistols. The Super Soaker was invented in by engineer Lonnie Johnson. The prototype combined PVC pipe , acrylic glass , and an empty plastic soda bottle. In Air Force and NASA engineer Lonnie Johnson conceived of the idea of a pressurized water gun after shooting a powerful stream of water in his bathroom while performing experiments for a new type of refrigeration system. Several months later he built a prototype in his basement, using Plexiglas , PVC pipe, O-ring seals and a two-liter soda bottle for the reservoir. He attempted to arrange partnerships with toy companies to bring the product to market, but it was not until that he found success. Johnson built an improved prototype and made a trip to the Larami headquarters in Philadelphia where he made a successful sales pitch. In it achieved commercial success under its new name, Super Soaker. In , Larami was sued for patent infringement by Talk to Me Products, who claimed the Super Soaker was a copy of their American Gladiator water gun, which was patented in However, Talk to Me Products lost their case as their patent referred to a water gun " having a chamber therein ". The Super Soaker used a water chamber on top of the gun, that was detachable for filling. Piston water guns have been produced for many years. Although this design feature allows them to reload rapidly, piston pumpers tend to have less range and less power than other designs.

The blaster was long forgotten by fans of the brand and was replaced countless times by newer, superior blasters.

It was initially released as the Power Drencher but was later renamed. Over its lifetime it was been given several generations with different names and has been released in three colors. It was released again in as part of the Classic Series with minor updates. It was not seen again after the Classic Super Soaker line was discontinued but has been released as a keychain and for a tenth and twentieth anniversary edition. It was one of the first air pressure water blasters, most of the previous blasters being piston-based, and was much more powerful than others around it.

The Super Soaker 50 , the original water gun that rendered all others obsolete, has returned to mark the the toy's 20th anniversary. In , an inventor named Lonnie Johnson created a new kind of squirt gun, packing a reservoir that could be pressurized, allowing a far vaster quantity of water to be shot with a much greater range. Before then, squirt guns involved little pumps that used the force of your finger to squirt water a few yards at best. The invention of the Super Soaker 50 made those squirters obsolete -- the 50 meant that the Super Soaker could allegedly shoot fifty feet. Though the new product claims only 35 feet. If you've followed the super soaker line for the last 20 years, you've watched it evolve from the original into, well, not the original. I'm not saying it's gotten worse. In fact, arguably the new products offer functional improvements to the original.
