The front of this toilet would be the familiar size and shape.
The bottom of the toilet would consist of a wide basin. When
the flush button is pushed:
A: A motor operated lever
would push the contents into a wide vertical pipe with no
bends nearby.
B: The pipe itself would be flushed
by
pumping a surge of water above potential blockage.
C: A
bit of scented cleaning fluid would be pumped around the
basin.
D: A very light second flush would rinse out the
basin.

Uses less water, but more electricity. |

You could operate it with a large lever for flushing
but mine will be electric. |

Can you work in a scissor-arm boxing glove or perhaps
miniature coal cars? |

Can't imagine what cleaning this moving lever would be like... |

One could adapt this so as to use no moving parts - the contents of the toilet fall with gravity into the wide vertical pipe with no bends. Such a toilet would not require water, either. The bit of scented cleaning fluid could stay, and also a moon carved in the door for ventilation. |
