MARYVILLE – The US Patent Office recently issued a patent to Scrambled Gears, a robotics team from St. John Neumann Catholic School in Maryville.
The team invented a hydroelectric generator that is powered by water flowing through a downspout, called the WaterSpark.
It can be used as an emergency power source or in regions with an unreliable electrical grid. The team began creating the invention in 2017 as fifth-graders when competing in the For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) Lego League.
