Memories

I was reading an article about the inventor of the Super Soaker, Lonnie Johnson. I guess he has like 100 patents, and is a nuclear engineer. The dude just came up with the Johnson Thermoelectric Energy Conversion System (JTEC for the acronym-inclined), which is "like a conventional heat engine." A closed box system takes heat as an input, creates pressure from heat differential, which generates electricity by forcing ions through a micron-thick ceramic membrane.

But this was pictured with the artical:


It brings back such good memories of being little. My mom bought two of those super soaker 50's, one for me another for her. We used to have quite the good time. I never really thought of it before, but I'm sure she went out of her way to play with me with those. Who wants to get wet ? other than kids. She was truly a loving, and great mom. I say was only cause of me not really letting her do so anymore. She is still great. For some reason seeing that super soaker just set off a trigger hammering that into my brain. It never hit me before.
