Don't you hate it - traveling - and you have to use the 'rest room' and you peer into the stall and some jerk has managed to soil or wet the seat - the seat that you want to use? Well, it sure would be nice if public 'rest rooms' could install a magnetic ring in the seat. Now, you yourself will have
purchased your own lightweight, flexible, thin seat with a countering magnetic ring installed. One that will work in cinjunction with the public toilet seat magnets... All it needs to be is thin plastic covering a segmented ring of magnets. Now here's the trick... the magnets in your personal seat are organized so that they will work with the magnets in the public toilet seat so that you actually levitate 'above' the public toilet seat by a few centimeters. You use the public restroom, you finish up, you stand up, holding on to the lightweight personal seat of your, remove the seat from your hind end, fold it up... tuck it into your purse or briefcase and you're done. No contact, no fuss, no muss. Until the janitor comes along, you're safe and sound.

What, you haven't mastered the art of no-contact squatting? |

T'is indeed a dying art :( Jokes down, the world ~really~ does need this one to be baked. You've got my vote, [jim_brain] |

I predict big problems with credit cards and genital
jewelry... |

I dunno--can you make magnets strong enough to hold you up and still keep them lightweight? Would extra-powerful magnets in the fixed seat let you use teeny ones in your detachable seat? I just don't know...you could use supercooled electromagnets, but those liquid helium freezer burns on the bum are a real drawback. |

How about the air hockey approach? Scent the lifting air and take care of 'the scent of meat-eating men sitting down', too... |
|
| |
Why not just use the "jockey", or "skier" position, thus hovering your arse etc. above the pan using no magnets, only your legs. |
|
| |
This could work - with some of the newer ceramic magnets that don't need to be supercooled... |
|

Much too complicated. Just exercise your thigh musclesand squat just above the seat and Bombs Away!! People are just too into gadgets. |

I really like the idea. I suppose you could latch the toilet seat in on the front of the tank, and maybe on the front of the bowl, to prevent wobbling. I wish I had one. |
|

Of course, then it slips and you fall into the bowl and hit your head on the tank and are found hours later by a strange looking man in a red suit. |
