Bellis
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.
