Engineering a seven-foot-long water blaster with 2,400 PSI

Witness the creation of a Guinness World Record holder. This massive Super Soaker, measuring seven feet in length, utilizes extreme pressure to launch projectiles at incredible speeds, demonstrating the sheer power of high-pressure fluid dynamics.

Following the creation of a massive Nerf gun, this project involves building a seven-foot-long water blaster capable of reaching 243 mph. Designed with assistance from Ken Glazebrook of NASA JPL, the device operates at a staggering 2,400 PSI—a pressure level so high it is described as being essentially a bomb.

The video showcases the destruction of various objects captured in slow motion and features a conversation with Lonnie Johnson, the original inventor of the Super Soaker. The build highlights the complex engineering required to manage such intense internal pressure safely.
