Install a water wheel at the bottom of an urinal, connected thru a belt to a rotary valve in the water inlet. The pulleys diameter ratio provides the exact amount of water for every use.
To solve: how to clean te water wheel itself (may be some positive feedback coming from the cleaning water can
help)

Nice, but I have a few niggles. The equation of
force needed to seal the top wheel and system
friction
forces versus the force of a urine stream. Also it
would cleaner if the wash was after the urination. |
|
| |
The wheel could be a counter for an electronic
flush system. The wheel could also help out with
the electronics energy deficit. |
|
| |
An easily removable wheel that can be dropped in
a
wash bucket, would be the go. |
|
| |
I don't understand. If I pee more, why does it take
more water to flush? |
|
| |
I thought this was going to be a suggestion for a renewable energy device, turning public lavatories into micro scale hydro-electric plants. |

Post it, [TomP]. Though this may have been suggested before. |

It's a criteria. It's more about don't touch flush handles than save 100cc of water. |

If you manage to damage your organ in this device, do you get a certificate allowing you to brag about it ? |
|
| |
Just print your own,creative certificate, and brag about the incident all you want. |
|

My toilet routine in general terms, missing out the gory details,is to sit
down, then stand up and flush with a foot. There's no need to touch
flush handles. If you have a penis, there's no need to touch anything
at all. Urinals and standing up to pee generally are unhygienic and
unnecessary. |

Whatever you do, don't cross streams. [link] |
