Tjos Weel?

idiot.

sorry, the damn page won't even open for me. How about this! NSFA (not safe for anybody(work included))

haha. multidollar industry he means.

I mean I won't lie to you. I'd buy one. Just not for a multi-billion dollars...

I woulda loved a bicycle mounted water gun when I was ten or so, though I kinda expected something like the .50 cal machine gun mounted on a humvee of water guns, this is more like an air rifle duct taped to a battered geo.

Load it up with semen and call it the Mobile Impregnator 2000!
This would make for some high quality porn.

I, for one, welcome our squirtgun-bicycle mounted overlords.

I guess these would work okay for drive-bys...er...pedal-bys. Although, as soon as kids start jousting with these things, they're gonna start colliding into each other head-on. Lawsuits ensue.

When I was a kid I had a big-wheel that had a squirt gun mounted on it. Man, my parents hated that thing.

$300,000? 12 years?

/needs Loser tag

Oh yeah, and the logo farking sucks too. Get it? Water Wheels? It's a wave of water over a wheel?

If this does pan out, he can always fall back on his "jump-to-conclusions mat" idea.

warning: in extreme accidents the sextoy shaped barrells of the squirtgun can cause blindness and impalment.

Also, please note, your aim will suck, as any kid with a super soaker has more mobility than you. you will have to turn the whole bike to aim at one dude who will have owned you at that time.

that is all.

and he quit his day job.

gets one point for ambition

gets -2 for thinking he just created something revolutionary.

i got one.
"OMG lets create a radio.. that you can strap onto the handlebars!"
wait i had that back in the 80's
put a clock in it, revolutionary! kids will never be late for dinner again!

I'm too old for this stuff, but I'd pay good money to have Nerf rocket launchers mounted to the hood of my Buick.

A reminder to all the potential little Water Wheelers out there.... the kid with the garden hose always wins. Always.

the more i read the more i laugh.

He has his own line of footwear (supposedly), two different prices he's charging for the setup, and a model of the truck he sells them out of.

Jesus, get a hobby.

He also has "quotes" around the name, what's up with that?

"Twelve years and roughly $300,000 later."

Personally, I would just pay down the morgage.

-That is the worst idea I've ever heard!

-Yes, this is horrible, this idea.

/mike and samir

That's Gold Jerry! Pure GOLD!

I'll bet the lawyers in the group are just starting to salivate.

Most kids cant chew gum and walk at the same time. If one of them gets into an accident with this thing on the bike, it's just a law suite waiting to happen.

Slippery when wet........

Suggestion: fill it with tequila and sell it (along with a dozen limes) to frat boys everywhere.

When they use up the tequila, they can re-fill it with Natty. Or piss.

I can already see the headlines on fark:

Kiddy sprays pedestrian with bike mounted water gun, pedestrian returns fire with .50 Desert Eagle. Hilarity does not ensue.

Best. Cartoon. Ever.

Can't wait for the first kid to fill it with gasoline & tape a lighter to the front.

Best. Idea. Ever


@ spatula

Spatula_City - you a terrerist, boy?! Why, that'd be a doubleyoo-em-dee, that would!

I wonder if this guy has heard of the Jump to Conclusions Mat...

My first car, a 1996 Ford Probe had real neat flip up headlights. I got an idea, and ran the windshield washer spray hose out of the front of a headlight. Put a push-fit nozzle on the end from the hardware store, turned my car into a mobile supersoaker. It shot about 15 feet with no wind. Was great for crosswalks. Was bad when I needed to wash my windshield and had to pull in to a gas station to do it by hand.

Yeah, this will last. One of the world's greatest inventions, just what we need.

Who on earth is going to buy this pointless shiate?

That's pure evil, qqtortqq. I love it!!!

The line "How bout you give me half the money you have there, then we can go outside and I can kick you in the ass, and we'll both be winners in the end"

or something to that effect.

Wal Mart might buy the though.

I guess, by this logic, everyone can just take your favorite device and mount a squirt gun on it and pass it off as the next big thing. I call the hair dryer that squirts water. And the DVDs that explode when you look at them.

As for the personals girl, her bio says she's super fat. No wonder a cute gothy girl who likes to play with networks is in the personals. And why does everyone say drugs are "never OK". Lame.

Because drugs are bad, mmm-kay?

This man doesn't have a chance.

Its an interesting concept, but he had the prototype made in China on the cheap. That's means the Chinese have the plans, and they don't let little things like patents and copyrights stop them from making and selling things. He won't see dollar one from this.

Great, until some kids fill it with lighter fluid and have FLAME THROWERS on their bikes! BURNINATION! LAWSUITINATION!

This may almost be as popular as those battery operated bicycle turn signals that swept the nation...

Talk about liability issues....

Yeah that's a good $300K gone. The mechanical pump run off the front wheel is an interesting idea, but it's complicated and will mean increased rolling resistance at greater pressure. The website mentions a battery operated version, but that option would greatly limit range and would by necessity be cheap. The website shows at least 5 different versions for existing bikes, making choosing the right kit difficult. You could get around this by finding a large bike manufacturer willing to add the kit as original equipment, but this would probably mean the quality of the bike would be lower. If you get by those problems you run into liability issues.

I'd buy it, and I don't even have a sports bike, just a basic 18 speed all terrainer that usually gets used on the road. Mount it on there. Fill the tank with antifreeze engine coolant. Doesn't affect the plastic workings of the machine, but oh boy, the wonders it does for the paintwork of any motorised moron who cuts me up... THATs what his market should be. Then you can spot the inconsiderate drivers (and steer clear) by the circular stains on their rear/side panels..
Alternatively, to avoid lawsuits (and injury should someone be squirted accidentally), whitewash, paintball pigment, or some other "loud" colouring agent that washes off easily but remains as a warning until it next rains or the driver washes the vehicle. Plus if they end up washing it off often enough they may come to question their driving style. Maybe.

It'd be at least a guaranteed million earner, at $30 a pop.

No, the Chinese are quite shrewd, and know that this idiot doesn't have a chance in hell of making his pet idea fly. Won't stop them from taking his money in advance and filling up a few 20' containers with his crap, though. $6,000 sounds about right...$4k for the molds, plus some tubing, plus some stickers, a bag of plastic resin, and some blue dye.

Yeah, you'd have to be stark raving nuts to get anything done at a factory in America. America's laws make manufacturing a joke. I'm always surprised that they even talk about the manufacturing sector in America...after getting into the manufacturing business in China, I'm shocked that America even has a single factory still in operation.

His idea +1

URINE WHEELS!

I like this idea much better and self fueled no less =)

I think this is farking cool. Kids will defeinitely ask for this from their parents.

If Super Soakers were the equivalent of the machine gun, this turns a bicycle into a tank. I can see games of "squirt gun war" being played through entire neighborhoods instead of just a few adjacent houses.

Anything that gets those fat little kids on bicycles and away from the grips of the video game overlords is ok with me. (Yes, there will be the asshat kids that fill it with lighter fluid or do "drive by squirtings" of pedestrians, but I say let natural selection go to work on them.)

The lawsuit potential is incredible. You can only shoot what you aim at...or drive at!! "Hey bobby, let's spray some cars, I am sure we can turn away before we get hit head-on."
