Have you ever sat down on a toilet with one of those automatic flushers only to find yourself jumping up mid pinch be cause the toilet decided to wash your butt?
Knowing this you may have tried to string up some toilet paper to cover the photoeye but some toilet engineer put the photoeye in the wall.
My
invention stops that unwanted flush.
It consists of a small NdFeB magnet and a small mumetal holder ( makes it safe to take on planes and safe for your credit cards )
The magnet has a plastic lever mounted with a pin so it rotates in and out of the mumetal holder.
How to use it?
1. Flick the lever to expose the magnet.
2. Grab some toilet paper from the roll.
3. Place the toilet paper between the magnet and some metal above the Photo eye on the auto flusher.
4. Make sure the toiletpaper covers the photoeye.
5. Sit to your hearts content.
6. When done remove the magnet.
7. While washing hands wash magnet and flick lever back.

*I make stuff work* enviable statement! |

I was addressing ed68. have you a problem with that? |
|
| |
I suspect Mr Ed may have been sitting on a bidet. And more power to him, I say! |
|
| |
Given that most toilets are smarter than the average male, I'd say if the toilet decides its time to flush then just go with the flow. |
|
| |
I keep a few feet of duct tape wrapped around a square of metal about the size of a credit card in my back pocket. This is one of dozens of situations in which it comes in handy. |
|
| |
Also, many toilet fixtures are PVC, aluminum, etc. Not good for magnets. |
|
| |
Easier solution: Do not sit on the toilet at all- either hold it in, or perform what I like to call an "air raid," which usually involves a handicap stall so you can use the handles. |

Or use a Japanese toilet. |

Thanks for all the comments. |

Polonium is radio active and polonium rings can be found in granite which some have conclude could mean granite was instantaneously created. It could also mean when the earth was cooling and after even at possibly different times when the magnetic field was weak and solar output was intense, bismuth and or lead in granite was being bombarded by intense radiation causing them to decay into polonium. The polonium in turn naturally decays making the rings. |

I don't know I wasn't there.
Still it is fun to contemplate either scenario. |
