All this talk about bathroom fans with timers, motion sensors,
flush-detectors... Why not just make a bathroom fan that can
detect the distinctive odours of poop and/or farts, and that runs
until they're gone? We have the technology.
We've been at this so long, I realize there's a big chance
this, and
any other ideas I could cook up, will have been "baked". I had to
vent my thoughts, though.

It will need an "acceptable minimum" rather than "zero" to
stop. Apparently, there's fecal matter floating around
everywhere (in tiny amounts...).
Also, linky. |
|
| |
It is being worked on [link], but hardly widely known to exist so... (+) |
|
| |
Uh huh. Fess up. Were you 'actually' aware that this product existed before [Ander] posted this or did you look it up after the fact? |
|
| |
[a1]; "years" is a bit of a stretch. The article you linked is only
from 2019! |
|
| |
Objection! Prosecution is leading the jury. |
|
| |
Kidding. I just contend that widely-known-to-exist might be a stretch. |
|
| |
Agreed. I've never heard of them. Then again, I'm
not often in the bathroom fan market. But as often
as I use it, you'd think I'm the 95th percentile
customer... |
|

I do believe that that mind-set will discourage innovation. |
|
| |
I've independently thought up many inventions which have been thought up by others previously, but posted them to find out if they exist. |
|
| |
My gut didn't tell me that this already existed, and my own personal experience didn't tell me that this already existed. |
|
| |
So... in my own mind only... it's not widely known to exist and I am happy to be exposed to its existence. |
|
| |
That would have not happened otherwise... so... |
|
| |
I like to believe that I know about a fair number of things
which are 'widely known.' Especially as I've been in a
bathroom or two in my life.
No, I didn't Google it, but also no, I'm also not one to rush to
judgment on ideas posted from less frequent users, and this
isn't a court case, so... |
|

Whatever. "Oh no! The wall has been breached by nonoriginal
ideas! Fall back! Fall back to the Keep!" |

^^Maybe, the new silicon wafers, can calculate needed the ratio. |
