Sensors (down the pan) sense water travelling down and travelling up. When it locates water going up it zaps it with a static electricity charger frazzling it before it hits you. Leaving you high and dry. Phew.

Personally I am quite fond of this experience, however I can understand how some would find this uncomfortable, I just wouldn't have one installed. |
|

UnaBubba, I think you are onto something. Maybe an elevator or dumb waiter contraption would be more sanitary. |
|
| |
"it zaps it with a static electricity charger frazzling it before it hits you" |
|
| |
So the water gets what, disoriented or something, and forgets where it was going? |
|
| |
How about a set of strong fans in the rim that blow down and keep everything down, something like a downdraft hood for those modern kitchens. - Of course you still have to figure out where to put the exhaust. |
|

Deeper toilets = bigger splashes |
|
| |
It's not as linear as you think. Does the splash from a clif diver come back up to the jumping point? |
|
| |
What if you fell into your new super deep toilet, you could be trapped at the bottom with a broken leg and nobody in the house to help you escape! |
|
| |
If this is a musical anti-splash toilet, and it's on cliffs, would it make cliff's notes? |
|
| |
How does this toilet tell up from down? I mean, how does it know a splash is going 'up?' And wouldn't that create steam? And who wants steam on a toilet? And maybe you shouldn't even have water in your toilet. Maybe it should be some super absorbant substance that diminishes splash-back, like velvet.
How does it know down from up? |
|
| |
If it detects water going down and then electrocutes it, how painful is taking a leak if any splashes back up? |
|
| |
Don't Whizz in the electric toilet. |
|
| |
yup. great idea. especially for those BIG poops that make BIG splashes. |
|
| |
// zaps it with a static electricity charger
frazzling it before it hits you// Very, very
bad idea. If you charge water droplets up
sufficiently, they simply explode into
smaller droplets because the charged
water is trying to get away from itself. It's
very pretty, but you'll wind up with a wet
arse. |
|
| |
Hmm. The picture on the Envirolet Toilet site (provided by [Cedar Park] shows that you can apparently go to the can in your hallway. |
|
| |
I like the idea of deteriorating splashing.
How about a cone that sits in the center of
the toiled to the poo gently wraps/ rolls
around it softening the drop into the
water. Then the cone could also serve as a
fountain during flushing... or even a
bidet... |
|
| |
deeper toilets won't work. I once got splash back from a 5 foot drop. |
|
| |
so a "laser toilet": kinda scary for no.2, no? |
|
| |
You only need to break the drop up into smaller drops. The
smaller drops will have lower particle Reynolds numbers, so
they will be less able to continue traveling through the air,
as aerodynamic drag has more effect on them. If the
frazzler doesn't prove effective, I would also suggest either
a laser or some kind of very well focused microwave system.
You only need to vaporize a small bit of the drop, as close
to the center as possible, to explode and disperse the rest
of the drop into smaller droplets. |

Instead of water what if we use a very high temperature incinerator for the solids and just drain the liquids? If we shape it like a funnel I doubt there would be any splash. |

Do you happen to enjoy the smell of burnt feces? |
