Forget dragons, it's water balloons you need to become king and queen of the world

Daenerys Targaryen might like to walk around all high and mighty, and brag about how she is the mother of three dragons, but there is one thing she does not have and that she probably longs for: a device that can fill 100 balloons with water in less than one minute.

The device, a photo of which is available above, is the brainchild of Josh Malone, a father of eight who now lives in Texas, US. Not at all surprisingly given its superpowers, the device goes by the name of Bunch O Balloons.

According to Josh Malone, the device is not in the least complicated to use. Otherwise put, getting it to work filling balloons with water should turn out to be no more and no less than child's play for most people, the man says.

All one has to do is connect Bunch O Balloons to a hose, turn on the water, wait for the balloons to become the right kind of curvaceous because of all the water in them, and then shake the device to unleash the best weapons for water fights to have ever been invented.

By the looks of it, this innovative device can fill up to 37 balloons at one time. The balloons not only take surprisingly little time to get ready for battle, but also tie themselves with the help of a ring once the person playing with them decides that they have had enough water.

The bad news is that, for the time being, Josh Malone's Bunch O Balloons is not available for purchase. This is because the father of eight has not yet begun mass production of this innovative device. The reason is that he lacks the funds needed to start manufacturing it.

Hoping to raise the money he needs to make Bunch O Balloons available to the public, the man is now running a fundraising campaign on Kickstarter. This campaign will last for another 28 days, but Josh Malone has already more than met his goal.

Thus, he has until now raised well over $75,000 (approximately €55,698). Oddly enough, his goal was to raise about $10,000 (roughly €7,426). Given the device's popularity among members of the online community, one can only assume that technology has not yet replaced good old fun completely.

Should things go according to plan, Josh Malone expects he will manage to roll out the first Bunch O Balloons by this year's September. Check out the video below to learn more about this device, and head over to Kickstarter if you feel like lending this inventor a helping hand.
