Don't laugh! OK, we have been to the moon and back. We can transplant hearts and make mechanical ones. We found the Titanic. Why has no one made a non-electric toilet that never overflows?
Toilets are based on designs from the what 20's? People were small. They ate little. So the toilets worked fine I bet.
We are much bigger people. We eat too much. I personaly can plug an industrial high pressure toilet and blow water all over the floor without putting paper in. Yea I know Texans are full of...
Do you ever flood your bathroom, or carpet? Do you own a plunger? I don't think we should have these problems.
We are designing and building new radiators, K-Members, IC units, etc. Can some of you smart designers come up with a non-electrical controled toilet that mechanically is impossible to overflow? I have tried in vain to contact American Std, and others on and off over the years. All they care about is style and looks. Just like the USA auto industry in the 50s/60s.
I was thinking about a bowl that is deep and sits up higher, not a thick seat, but maybe up that high. It needs to be elongated for our larger than 1940/50s frame. The deeper bowl maybe can hold 2-3 flushes of water with a plugged hole. Maybe have an overflow hole with it's own trap that bleeds into main hole past it's trap.
On the otherhand maybe the tank could shut off water if bowl hole is plugged and filling. Whatever I just don't want any electrical device to control it.
Want this to be able to use the tanks with higher water levels.
The new pressurized low water versions still have a bowl with hole too small or trap too tight, so it can plug. Blow stuff everywhere, haha. Which reminds me that the trap area needs improvement for large hard logs that some people I have heard have to cut in two with a butter knife to get it through. This is rediculous that some folks have to live that way.
I know I'm crazy. I know it is non-SC related but time to do something somewhere. Hope this doesn't get removed.
Any ideas? Any interest? No kidding!
