  • The Toto Apricot is a fancy toilet with an automatic lifting seat, bidet, and deodorizer,

  • and some models even feature an mp3 player...

  • What The Fak. 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.
