| WaterRipper is Tim Leefeldt’s new waterball innovation that has been in the works since 1988. Eureka! Archimedes principals applied. This revolutionary new high performance sportswater toy that has two patent pending applications with assistance with From Patent to Profit author, Bob DeMatteis who assisted in bringing this innovation to market in record time. WaterRipper is distinctly different from all waterballs on the market, the key is slow acting collapsing bean bag design, the balanced density and water absorbing materials to maximize density and performance on water.
Tim is continuing to document the physics of the WaterRipper performance on the water surface. He continues to marvel at the phenomena of the “low profile skip pattern” that skips like a rock, catches like a bag, and stays in the pool. Tim is developing new play patterns, patented apparatus and equipment including an iPhone app that will enhance waterplay experience and sports potential of this simple innovative watertoy for generations to come. Since the fall semester of ’09, Tim has worked with CSU students in Chico to help document and demonstrate WaterRipper’s innovative design features and performance. These students have majors in Recreation, Business and Special Education. Each contributed to the development of WaterRipper and success to bring it to market in a short time. They are part of the WaterRipper Team and have helped make presentations and demonstrations and are familiar with the play and sports potential of this new water toy.
What Makes the WaterRipper Unique? Designed by an architect, it has innovative patented design features unlike any other sports waterballs on the market. The “Low profile skip pattern” stays in the pool. It is safe, easy to play for all ages.
