Hi there! How's it going? Glad you could find time to stop by today for a coffee and a virtual treat. OMG! Got to tell you about this. In Thailand, people celebrate 'Songkran' every April for up to 10 days - splashing water, dousing everybody with bowls of water, water pistols and water cannon. Some tourists even carry one or two cannisters of water on their backs. Well, now we have the ultimate water weapon...
Enter, an engineer who’s putting his degree to
proper use! 27-year-old Londoner Alex Bygrave has used all his technical
know-how to come up with the ultimate invention – an awesome Gatling
water gun.
Believed to be the world’s most sophisticated Gatling-style
weapon of its kind, the gun features a 10-liter water tank, six barrels
and a 40-foot firing range.
Alex spent 50 hours designing and building the incredible water weapon from
scratch, making use of 55 separate parts made of everyday objects. “I
had to first break down the mechanics of how the Gatling gun worked, and
then build it up using a mix of all sorts of components,” he said.
I wonder how long it will be before someone pirates the idea and they are on the shelves of stores throughout Thailand for Thais and other folks who celebrate the Water Goddess?
See ya, eh!

Send me your ideas of how this new invention could be put to other uses...like watering your lawn, e.g.
