h a l f b a k e r yI like this idea, only I think it should be run by the government.

internally ionized door, tap and flush handles or knobs so that washing your hands after a dunny session remains usefull before rejoining your friends at the restaurant table.

ok... It'll work. But how are you ionising the handles? Presumably via electricity but the electricity, wet hands and door handle combination is not a pretty one. |
|
| |
Also, if internally ionised, it won't kill surface bateria will it? |
|
| |
They don't need to be ionized, just either oozing soap/disinfectant (the flush handle) or coated with a drying substance (the door handle). |
|
| |
Hmmm. Not sure what you mean. Isn't an "internally ionized door" just the same as a "statically charged door"? I'm not sure how this will kill bacteria. |
|
| |
You could have a radioactive door. But that might create more problems than it would solve. |
|
| |
But it sure would be cool! |
|
| |
Putting anti-bacterial agents on everything in sight is a great way to breed hyper-resistant bacteria. Not a good idea at all. |

zinc and copper rich surface coating inhibits bacteria. This technology is applied to some toilet flush handles. |
|
| |
Zinc impregnated roof tiles are used to inhibit algae growth on tile roofs in hot wet climates- actually works quite well. |

I thnk your idea is good, but rather than electric current, I think metallurgic properties would be more practical, maybe some kind of bi-metalic effect. |
