The Facts And Knowledge on Future Toilets. The Kohler Numi Bidet Toilet features a foot warmer, heated seat, and built-in music system. It's all controlled with a touch screen remote and runs for about $6,300 dollars. The Clean Seat is a hygienic way to cover a public toilet seat in paper by automatically pulling down and placing it for you, and disposing of it. And this CWS rotating seat self-cleans by spinning the entire thing through this module that sanitizes and dries it before retracting back into place. For high-tech toilet privacy, these stalls at Bar 89 in New York City fog up when they're occupied. Here's a homemade Steampunk toilet with antique gauges and even a laser-pointing mechanism. The Ultimate Clean Toilet concept features a two-in-one toilet that swivels into a urinal. It also self-santizes with steam and UV. The all-in-one concept goes one step further by integrating a sink that uses water runoff to fill the tank and flush the toilet. However, these innovative concepts still rely on old flush technology. So, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is funding research to re-invent the toilet, because 40% of the world still lives without a safe way to remove their excrement, and we're using water and sewer technology that's basically two hundred years old. They aim to create low-cost toilets that safely recycle the waste. Virginia Gardiner created this plumbing-free toilet that's literally made out of poop. Her waterless toilet design seals the waste in a cartidge which is then transported to an anaerobic digester that recycles the methane gas. Outdoor urinals are gaining popularity around the world, including these in Sydney, Australia. And now for a couple of bathroom myths: Airplanes do not drop toilet waste from the sky. The waste is collected in a secure holding tank that is emptied after it lands. Leaks have been known to happen, which cause the waste to freeze on the exterior of the plane and fall off in clumps known as Blue Ice. But it's rare. Water does not drain opposite directions depending on the Hemisphere. The Coriolis Effect does cause macroevents, like hurricanes, to rotate clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Northern, but it's effect is insignificant when it comes to microevents like bathwater draining or toilet flushes. I'm gonna leave you with this guy. Who is he and what notable invention did he develop? Before we go here's last video's winner. And, as always, thanks for watching.
