Lonnie George Johnson (born October 6, 1949 in Mobile, Alabama) is an African American inventor and engineer who holds more than 80 patents. Johnson is most known for inventing the Super Soaker water gun, which has ranked among the world's top 20 best-selling toys every year since its release.
In ancient history, if you needed serious firepower in a water fight, you had to reach for the hose. That changed 20 years ago when inventor and NASA scientist Lonnie Johnson came up with a way to use hand-pumped air pressure to power a water-gun blast. His Super Soaker would forever alter the way water wars are fought. While Johnson has since had a hand in (arguably) more important work, including a PM Breakthrough Awardâwinning method for generating electricity, he considers the powerful water gun to be one of his favorite inventions.
