Flush-ergy
Water pressure energy powers automatic flush valve | |
Sensor-operated flush valves in public restrooms require
energy from batteries or solar cells. I propose recovering
some of the energy from the incoming clean water to handle
this energy requirement.

Wouldn't this make refill times slower and the whole
system more prone to expensive maintenance? It
could brutally bedevil and blight a busy bank of bogs. |

Public toilets in the UK often have sensors, by the
way. |

If you want a totally green sensor device to activate the flush, just put a pedal button on the floor for the patron to step on. Oh, wait, that's Baked. |

//Plus, won't the sound from the rushing of water wake up people who are in the room, resting?// |

In Taiwan, at sites of local interest, beauty spots etc., there are signs telling you what not to do. One of the them is often "Do not rest". |
