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. |
