Last year, Mark Rober introduced us to the world's largest Nerf gun to provide a leg up in
those Nerf battles against friends. This year, he brought us yet another enormous classic toy gun. Mark, along with Bob Clagett of I Like To Make Stuff, created the world's largest Super Soaker, which holds the Guinness World Record at 7 feet long.
The body of the Super Soaker is made out of foam and it features an awesome paint job. But this over-sized water gun's true beauty lies within. Under the hood it contains a similar structure to that of the original super soaker and operates on the same water-launching principles.
Every time you pump a traditional Super Soaker, the air pressure within the water tank increases. The pressurized air pushes down on the water so hard that when the trigger is pulled, the water shoots out with plenty of force to fly long distances. But instead of pumping this huge Super Soaker, a tank filled with high pressure nitrogen gas is used to pressurize the water tank and shoot the stream out at 272 mph.
Even though this enormous water gun looks like a boatload of fun, it can also be a bit dangerous. With water bursting out at 272 mph, you can't exactly soak your friends with this Super Soaker. The original super soaker was pressurized to 40 psi. This super Super Soaker is pressurized to a whopping 2400 psi—more than eight times the pressure of a fire hose.
Be sure to check out I Like to Make Stuff's video as well to learn about how the enormous soaker was made.
