Urinator Tank

A mod for existing standard toilets
 
(+2, -2)
  [vote for,
against]

This is a new tank that replaces the fill tank of a toilet with the tank at the back. It incorporates in its porcelain mold a steep cone at one corner that is designed to prevent splash and also conserves water. It is designed for males from 4'11" to 6'4".

Tubes cast into the tank carry the urine and rinse water directly to the main drain, bypassing the bowl entirely. The Urinator is plumbed using a special float valve that allows flushing of either the Urinator cone alone or the main body of the toilet using 2 buttons: one for the Urinator alone and one for flushing everything. The unit is readied for use by doing a pre-flush, which opens the tube and extends it upward from the tank rim.

To encourage use, an AI voice compliments the user's anatomy and hopes for their return, urging them to use the full range of the Urinator toilet's capabilities.

Big, ugly. Dirty bowl. Waste of water. [minoradjustments, Mar 05 2024]

       [+] for an interesting post.   

       Won't post my counter idea of the pee game urinal, where the hole's about 2" wide and it's got blower holes around the permiter. You miss it, it goes directly back onto you.   

       Plus it's electrified.

       From the Ars Technica link:   

       //Scientists at the University of Waterloo// [+]   

       //They didn't observe a single droplet splashing back. By comparison, the other urinal designs produced as much as 50 times more splashback//   

       "as much as" 50 times more than zero, you say? These scientists must be pretty sharp. maybe they graduated from the Megatron.

       Had thought this was going to be a new weapon that delivered streams of possibly boiling urine over the enemy's trenches.

       I thought I would work in a biologically or plant-based solution, but then I'd have to call it The Little Bog of Horrors.

       //Won't post my counter idea of the pee game urinal// Nor will I post my idea of what I thought this title referred to - a urinal in the form of a fish tank with fish swimming about in it (in fact the fish are swimming in underwater sealed clean water tanks within the outer tank).

       If you want to "encourage" men to use it, it should have the same suction speed as a swimming pool drain.

       I, too, want to have my body sucked entirely into an 80 mm pipe starting with my penis.

       [baked blackbirds]The Urinator standard model is equipped with a safety kill-switch that shuts down at the sound of excessive relief.   

       The Deluxe Urinator Plus Ultra incorporates a pulsating feature many consider worth the extra $300. Accessed via a hidden button, it does not flush, but lubes and massages. Some buyers never see the inside of a massage parlor again.

       That's all technology has ever wanted.
