Toilet Paper Holder That Shits With You

Filed under: Design, Household

Here at Gearfuse, we can never fulfill our monthly quota of toilet paper related posts, but boy do we try.

Speaking of toilet paper, one can never have enough toilet paper holders.

Here’s a bathroom buddy kindly providing you with pampering services while it, too relieves itself on the John. It’s a hand-made, 7-inch tall sculpture which possesses a keen likeness to robots. Necessities of life don’t come cheap, however. With a price of $95.97 - wait a minute! $95.97!? Holy moly! Ah hell, we’ll buy it anyway. We love robot toilet paper holders.

George W. Flush: Out With The Old, In With The New

You may never get a chance to meet George W. Bush, but the opportunity to urinate in his mouth is still on the table. OK, not so much his mouth but the mouth of a porcelain remake of the forty-third and current President of the United States is on display now at Clark Sorensen’s San Francisco studio in the mission district.

Check out more of Clark’s work at his website: Clarkmade.com. He’s holding an election night party to watch the elections results roll in and to give Bush a good flush! Whether or not the urinal will make an appearance is unknown, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it did.

Oh Noes! My House Is Walking Away

A mobile home is hardly a house. It’s a truck with a bed inside. On the other hand, the N55 WALKING HOUSE is the premier modular dwelling system. In addition to its ability to slowly troll surrounding landscapes, it collects energy by using solar cells and small windmills. There is even a system for collecting rain water and another for solar heated hot water. Of course, let’s not forget the crapper and the fireplace, the WALKING HOUSE has both.

Unlike a mobile home, you’re living a pollution-free life but you’re still a nomad. Roaming the countryside with nothing more than your own bedroom sounds great, then you realize you have to eat. Not a problem considering a small greenhouse unit can be added to the basic living module, eliminating the possibility of a food shortage. When we find ourselves in a post-apocalyptic future caused by mankind’s irresponsibility to maintain mother Earth, we’ll all wish we were living in the WALKING HOUSE.

WashUP Combines Washer And Toilet Into One Giant Cesspool Of Productivity

greener_gadgets_02.jpg

I’ll be the first to admit that there have been times that I have held my excrement in so long, that by the time I make my way to the toilet, I’ve already soiled myself. I’m not proud of it, but hey, it happens. The last thing I want to do is sit around in my soiled clothing, so a concept such as WashUP makes sense to me. I’d just grab a book and sit on the throne until my clothes we’re all washed and air-dried.

Those of you who have pets should probably take notice though, since the WashUP device uses the washer’s discarded water as the water for the toilet, so it might not be safe for your pet’s to drink out of if they have the habit of turning to the bathroom for a wet treat. I, for one, would much rather have some Apple integration, such as the poonavative Airpoo. — Andrew Dobrow

Check out this dream device. Inspired by way too many bathroom breaks interrupting time with the MacBook Air, meet the Air Poo. The toilet for the true Apple fanboy. Complete with a docking station for the Air, an iPod dock, multi-touch flushing, integrated surround sound, and a heated seat to protect your tender tushy, the Air Poo is a fake concept which will never see the light of day.

Guerrilla Plumbing: How To Save The Earth By Sneaking Around

Filed under: Eco-tech, Hacks

So you’re at a party, perhaps you have a few alcoholic beverages floating through your bloodstream and you’re feeling like an eco-friendly vigilante. All the beer in your belly makes you have to piss worse than a scared schoolgirl. You take a trip to the bathroom, only to your horror, you see that your buddy is still using a toilet that clearly doesn’t correspond to your eco standards.

There’s a little hack you can do on the sly that ensures that the toilet uses less water than it would otherwise. Open up the lid and bend the little metal rod that’s hooked up to the floater. This should cause the toilet to save a significant amount of water over time. Unless the rod is made of plastic. In which case if you try and bend that sucker in your drunken haze, you owe your friend a new toilet. — Andrew Dobrow

World’s Fastest Pooper powered by jet engine

This thing sure can fly, but probably wouldn’t impress anyone on a date. The smell has got to be atrocious. Not to mention the heat. The World’s Fastest Port-a-Potty is capable of speeds upwards of 70 MPH with the help of a Boeing Jet engine.

I guess it’s great for when you have to go really, really bad? If you want to make your own speedy toilet, save up around $10,000. — Andrew Dobrow

Non-stick toilet means no clean-up for 3 months!

Filed under: Design, Household

We have non-stick glue, non-stick pan, today we have non-stick toilets, thanks to the Japanese material scientists at Matsushita (Panasonic/National). The secret is that they’re using resin-based materials instead of the usual clay. During an interview with Mr Sakai from Matsushita, we learned that their team had spent more than a year to research on resin modification, in order to have it strong enough to withstand the sheer force of having us cough-potatoes sit on top.

Have you ever thought of bringing those automatic water taps in public toilets home? Takaratomy is selling these Pitap add-ons that you can easily install on to any tap you want. So when you have oily hands and just want to rinse them off you don’t have to make your taps oily anymore, all you have to do is to put your hands close enough to the sensor and the water will run. You can turn off the sensor and resume to manual control if you wish to leave it running to fill up the sink. You can also install one of these in your bathroom to make teeth-brushing and shaving easier. However the company warns users against installing over the shower head for some reason (wouldn’t that be great?). The Pitap runs on AAA battery and are selling at $70 in Japan now. — Sam Chan
