Invented in the early 80's by an African-American NASA engineer named Lonnie Johnson and sold in 1990, the Larami Super Soaker is one of the most iconic toys of all time and is an integral part of any early childhood . Continuing the tradition (and following its massive build of Nerf guns), the former NASA engineer, Mark Rober, decided to make some modifications to the toy design by scaling up the scale. and adding nitrogen. The result is a Guinness world record holding Super Soaker that is 7 feet long and can project a target with a water jet that is 2400 PSI and 243 MPH!

In other words, you probably do not want to be hit Rober discusses the process of designing and manufacturing the pressurized water cannon, discusses with the original designer and, of course, tests his mega very powerful toy against windows, fruits, soda cans, and other objects that he probably had around the house. Spoiler Alert: The super luxury soaker tears up just about anything that comes in contact, cutting off the watermelon as if it were paper, obliterating a row of eggs like a firing squad, and giving a lot of glass to Rober to sweep. For context, Rober says the original Super Soaker was only pressurized to 40 PSI and the hose on a fire truck is around 300 psi. So the next logical step would be to mass-produce these machines and give them to the firefighters, is not it?

For all aspiring engineers who want to destroy their own light, Rober has made CAD files available online. but he warns that this is not a toy. "It's definitely something you do not want to put your hand in front of," he told CNN, adding that the video's description says that "2,400 PSI" is essentially a bomb. If you know what you are doing, I do not want to attend your funeral because I do not like to travel. "
