CNBC spot light on Lonnie Johnson inventor of the super soaker. http://inventors.about.com/lib... The Super Soaker ® was invented in 1988 under the original name of the "Power Drencher" and a whole new era of power water squirters began. Invented by Lonnie Johnson, an Aerospace Engineer from Los Angeles, California, the Power Drencher was the first water blaster to incorporate air pressure into its design. Three years later in 1991 when Johnson received his patent, the Power Drencher was renamed "Super Soaker" and a nation-wide advertising campaign was launched.

Look up' Black Inventors '. You'll be surprised on whatever we have right now that could be created by them. I was like' Holy Shit, they made that?! ' And I'm still using it everyday.
