self cleaning toilet seat
surface of seat is a metamaterial skin that is powered by mechanical pressure of someone sitting down on it | |
toilet seats get uring on them and under them. i propose a
toilet seat that harvests the power of sitting down on it , to
power a microsurface dynamical action, almost as if the
surface is of the toilet seat is a metamaterial hydrophobic
scaley wrap that kind of flutters off the last particles
of urine
or dried material on it and pushes it closer to an edge of the
wrap that itself is almost microscopic but is placed on the
inside rim of the seat such that the dirt is pushed slowly to
that edge and when it gets there is riffled off.
everytime someone sits down you get a riffle. it might not
clean the seat at once, but after a few sitting the seat will
get clean.
Not quite the same ...

Something must indeed be done about the pernicious phenomenon
known as fecal fleck flicking. |

I'm not familiar with these. Got a link? |

Seat mutters "No respect for technology ya big fat
as..." |
|

"What was that? Speak up seat" |

Later that night at the meeting of the "Self
Cleaning Toilet Seats Union #447" ... |

You could always have some kind of flame-source
nearby that torches the seat after an autoflush. But
if your autoflush is anything like the ones at the
office you may want to just hold it... |

Well, it is known that titanium dioxide at the surface of a
substance, when hit by UV light, does some interesting
chemistry that tends to self-clean the surface (including
killing germs). Therefore the toilet seats need to be
appropriately coated, and the restroom lighting needs to
include ultraviolet. |
|
| |
I need to learn more about this 'uring'. |
|
| |
So wait, the seat has uring on it, which won't be completely removed by the hindquarters of the first person to sit on the urine-splashed seat, nor by the second, but perhaps by the third. |

What does the metamaterial skin do? |
