United States Patent 4,773,863
Douglas, III September 27, 1988
Amusement device for a toilet bowl or urinal
Abstract
An amusement device for a toilet bowl or a urinal comprising a urine detector for detecting a urine flow from a human and for providing an electrical signal for activating a sensory stimulus device. A control unit connected to the urine detector converts the electrical signal to a signal for activating the appropriate indicator. In one embodiment of the invention, a plurality of pressure and temperature sensors are imbedded in a plastic base which is disposed in close proximity to the urinal or toilet bowl drain. Disposed alongside each temperature and pressure sensor is an associated LED lamp or buzzer which is activated by that sensor. The device may be connected to a video screen or a speaker disposed above the urinal for providing additional audial and visual stimulation to the user. In another embodiment, a plastic base is disposed entirely within the toilet bowl or urinal in close proximity to the toilet or urinal drain. A plurality of supports extend upward from the base and terminate in a corresponding plurality of rotatable members horizontally connected to the supports for rotating in response to a urine flow from a human.

Actually no, you can legally own small quantities of radioactive substances without any permits or license. Check out United Nuclear .com
Sweet! Does that mean I can run my 240v 30A dryer by plugging it into four 15A 120v receptacles?charlie b said:Very entertaining. But let's do some math. You have a 48 volt DC supply (If I read that part right) supplying up to 80 ma. That equates to just under 4 VA. If you could convert that to 120 volts ac (a feat that requires some sophisticated electronics that I doubt their devices possess), that would give you 0.032 amps. A computer draws something like 3 amps. So I would need to plug into about 100 phone jacks to get enough juice to be able to type this message on my computer.
Actually, yes! But you would have to make sure that two were on Phase A and the other two were on Phase B.tallguy said:Sweet! Does that mean I can run my 240v 30A dryer by plugging it into four 15A 120v receptacles?
Better make sure you've got four circuits as well...charlie b said:
