Teen Turning Ideas To Action

Broomfield High senior Kyle Myhra has big ideas.

He demonstrated one of them last week, when he showed off his latest invention — the Spot Sucker. He poured some red wine on a section of cloth “50 percent cotton, 50 percent polyester,” he said as he placed a pad with cleaning solution underneath it, reports The Broomfield Enterprise.

Look quick because you might miss it,” he said, pushing down on the pump so it penetrated “deep in the fiber.”

Originally, he used a modified wine pump with the rubber knob of a cane, then moved on to snake bite kits. Myhra said he went through “bags and bags of cotton balls, and cut up tons of T-shirts.”

Some cleaners work better than others, but his design is refined to the point where it removes just about everything but ink from Sharpie pens.
