Actually a general use room deoderizer and humidifier

This machine would have a compartment filled with a fine water mist and a fan to suck air through it. It would be connected to a water source and drain.

       I'm not sure I completely understand this one - and what happened to "Mist toilet 1"?

       Yes, this idea was quickly lost in the mist of time.

       Is the mist a low-water usage alternative to the traditional flush?

       It was a mistake to pay so little attention to the idea's precedent. I'm sure you're all mistified, so I'll get to explaining. The original idea was a deodorizing toilet that worked by creating a mist down where the business is done. This idea is essentially a large box that would sit in a bathroom. It would draw air through a mist of water to serve the same purpose.

       So it's not actually a toilet? More of a general use room deodorizer and humidifier?   

       If I understand, I could bake this by leaving my shower on/spraying all the time with a box fan blowing air through the spray... For room deodorizing purposes.

       Just so. Except the envisioned device would recycle the water a few hundred times and store the excess so as not to waste water.

       // Different from existing vacuum toilets, that only draw down on the flush? //   

       Mist toilet 1 would have, iirc, only turned on the mist when it were being sat upon. Mist toilet 2 isn't a toilet.

       //recycle the water a few hundred times// So the water gradually gets more and more rank? Like a flush toilet that recycles the waste water into the cistern?

       Yup. But it's just from whatever's in the air, so it shouldn't get too bad too fast.
