  I was going to return to that toilet in Beckenham with a ladder and a high vis jacket so I could show you the syphon inside the cistern, but I chickened out. So you&apos;ll have to do it yourself. Bonus points if you can find that exact public toilet.<br>The sponsor is Henson Shaving: click this link <a href="https://www.hensonshaving.com/stevemould">https://www.hensonshaving.com/stevemould</a> and use the <br>code stevemould to receive 100 free blades with the purchase of your AL13 razor.

  That urinal design feels like whoever originally designed it was trying to make the experience of using it as close as possible to pissing on the wall in an alley outside the pub like it&apos;s 17th century London.

  In the US, every urinal does in fact have its own flushing mechanism. Never even knew the &quot;communal&quot; flush design was a thing!

  Here’s a tip for understanding the different layers of chambers: Instead of using a white background with blue water, try using a yellow background. This way, as the blue water fills up the chamber, you’ll see green water, making it easier to visualize the layers how the water is filling it up.

  I like the fact that no physical valves, springs, flappers etc are needed for it to work. Therefore, in theory, it should last for a very long time with little to no maintenance.

  This is one of those designs that I understand is not horribly complex, but I&apos;m still blown away that someone could come up with it out of nothing

  I can&apos;t say it&apos;s a strictly British thing but I don&apos;t recall ever seeing the urinal flush thing in my 70 years in America.

  Every video since the gas station pump thing has only increased my respect for the people who can work out these systems that are simultaneously simple and complex.

  &quot;You may know this already, but I am already a huge fan of automatic siphons ... &quot; hahaha, what a great way to open a video.
