Engineering:Water Talkies

From HandWiki
Short description: Device for amplifying voices underwater


A Water Talkie is a colorful, cone-shaped device that amplifies voices underwater over a range of up to 15 feet (4.5 meters). Water Talkies make talking underwater possible.[1] They were invented by Richie Stachowski, Jr. in 1995 at age 11.[2]

Over time a single product turned into a company producing water toys "made by a kid for kids": a line of eight pool toys.[3]

In 1999 Stachowski was the youngest individual to win the Entrepreneur of the Year Award for this invention.[4] Richie Stachowski made those just for swimming 15 ft. [5]
