You know you hate it, particularly if you’re faced with using a public one. Having to sit on a toilet and endure unfortunate splashback. I know, not a pretty topic, but perhaps a universal one. Well hear me out – I have seen the solution.
Imagine a toilet bowl that uses invisble lasers to monitor the span of the bowl. Anything going through this invisible layer of laser would trigger the toilet bowl ito action – blast that “thing” that is traversing the laser. This instantly stops all splashback. However it needs to be smart enough to recognize the direction the object is going – we only want to block things that are going from the bowl into the air. I’m certain that an intelligent laser could determine diretionality by looking at the object’s movement through the laser field.
So there – all we need is the laser technology and electronics to make the toilet. I figure once we have that the toilet itself won’t need to worry about flushing as we’ll simply “eject” the contents into another laser field further down which disintegrates everything. The laser could in fact detect metallic materials and whatnot to avoid blowing away accidentally flushed rings.
My mind is wandering, sorry about that.
