The toilet bowl has spiral indentations to encourage the flush to spiral around the bowl, mimicking the action of a Dyson vacuum cleaner. This would be more effective for removing stubbon particles.

I sort of do that. I stir the toilet to free it of
blockages, probably daily. But an automated method
would be good. Maybe with a crank handle? |
|
|
The openings are already spiraled... I think that if the water flow was pulsed it would more effectively clean the bowl. |
|
|
...but I think it would make it harder to clean by hand whilst scrubbing all the indentations. |

I think you've missed the point of using a whirly-me-jig in Dyson's vacuum cleaner. That is to separate solid particles from the air going through the machine [link]. If your toilet were to truly mimic Dyson's cleaner, it would probably be so that you could re-use the clean water - no peeing though. |

As TomP says, the Dyson cyclonic action is intended to seperate particles from fluid by density. The object of a toilet flush is to entrain particles into the fluid in order to transport them into the sewerage system - quite the opposite of the Dyson cyclone. (-) |

//I stir the toilet to free it of blockages, probably

toilet, or what you're putting in it. |

What's wrong is my daughter's mysterious behaviour in the bog. It only gets
blocked when she's here. |

Sounds like she's flushing something that shouldn't be flushed. |
