That's similar to the way it's done on modern commercial aircraft. There's a fan in the floor, often in a cabinet under the sink. The vacuum toilet itself collects nearby aromas. I guess your idea keeps the standard toilet, though. |

It's right at the source, and your idea gets it off the floor, which are both good. Reaching around in the toilet to change a fan, well, I'll let the landlord take care of it. Have a croissant (you might wanna wash it off a little). |

sophrocat, thats exactly what I meant.Thanks for your understanding.
Austere, I was not trying to force the air out of the bowl neither am I interested in the mechanisms and other -isms. The basic idea is to get this damned fan to suck the air from below...I hope this helps with the clarification part... |

Guys take a look at this toilet contraption from the UK www.airloo.com it was patented last year and has taken off in the UK very well. |
|
| |
The airloo sucks all the smells out of the bowl and either filters it or pushes it outside. |

And mark that for deletion too, I
had one of these since 1988. |

There are a number of them around the world - ours is http://www.odourvac.co.nz and has been around for 8 years or so. A patent search showed patent applications going back to 1947 in New Zealand.
You can't feel the airflow (draughty nuts anyone :-) but you certianly know if it is not turned on

My system for the toilet ventilation seat is call
"ODOR-VAC" and includes a portable vacuum unit
that is attached to the toilet tank with hoses to
the toilet seat and vent pipe or existing vent
on the ceiling. Thank you. Justo@mail2jazz.com |
