  • Liquid-contact activated musical instrument
    Patent number: 10190304
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods that make music in response to be contacted by a stream of liquid are disclosed. A music making device may include a sensor to detect when a stream of liquid is substantially in contact with the sensor. The sensor may produce an indicator signal at or around the time the liquid substantially contacts the sensor. A circuit may generate an electrical pulse in response to detecting the indicator signal. The electrical pulse may be coupled to a speaker which converts the electrical pulse into sound.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 21, 2015
    Date of Patent: January 29, 2019
