Tripong, Tri Pong PingPong Game
Inventor creates ping pong for three, Tripong
Melba and Secil Boyd pose at their Holualoa, Hawaii, art gallery Sunday, Dec. 31, 2006, with the production prototype of TriPong, a three-way ping-pong game Boyd invented. Also on the table are ping pong balls Boyd uses to explain his spatial relativity theory.
KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii - Secil Boyd keeps dreaming up new ideas from remote control flying gadgets to new table games and even space-matter theories. "My mind doesn't seem to turn off so easily," the 53-year-old inventor joked at his Holualoa art gallery. ADVERTISEMENT
Boyd has invented a type of three-player ping pong, he's come up with a special relativity theory and even made a remote control flying toy out of a Christmas gift from his daughter.
TriPong uses an odd-shaped table at regulation ping pong height and Plexiglas "nets" that divide the table into three wedges, each with a neutral zone and scoring zone.
He pitched the idea several months ago to a major mainland sports company and now is in negotiations for a development contract. After a presentation, their production staff built one and have played it since, Boyd said.
