It is now my life mission to find you, and poo on your head from a great distance above. I mean, after I find that Orange Cheeto running for President and see if it can eat its own bum.
basically, in an aircraft, above 16,000ft, the aircraft no longer uses its vacuum generators. Instead, the vacuum the toilet is getting is from the differential pressure between the plane and the atmosphere. The water that are used to flush the toilet bowls are used for the basins, your hot instant noodle etc. And those water your have used from the basins are thrown overboard during flight. While your waste is sucked into a waste tank to be disposed during line maintenance
Scrub Idiot i wante dto know exactly how plain toilets work including that suction, storing utilising etc. anyway it was in my suggested videos and i have no idea why
You didn't really explain how toilets work on aeroplanes; this frustrated me. A freaking diagram or something man, the whole video only managed to communicate a vague description written in two words, 'pressure differential'.
For clarification, modern aircraft toilet systems allow the drainage of liquid into the atmosphere but solid matter is kept in the waste tank. To prevent the the liquid becoming a block of ice on the side of the plane, liquid is drained through a heated probe which is commonly found at the rear of the aircraft.
+Peter Sweeney What... these videos are fine and very well arranged, they're consistently cited and take questions asked from viewers. The presenter is articulate and well read aswell. Some people cant be pleased can they.
Here's a good question. Following the logic that cabin pressure is what pushes the waste down the toilet: if we were to operate all flushing buttons at once repeatedly for a few minutes, would it be enough to cause a cabin depressurization?
I work as a airplane technician and I do parts of the toilet system from time to time. From the toilet itself to the vacuum blower that creates the suction.
That said, it's always possible for contents of plane WCs to leak, because such planes have seals, on the valves on the storage tank intakes, that can leak with the freezing and thawing from being up very high in the sky.
I've never been on an airplane so I don't know how it's like (I'm terrified of flying, lol). I usually just take the bus, which means holding my pee for 8 hours straight as buses don't have toilets 😒
Modern trains have vacuum toilets too, and cool electric doors. I always find it amusing when older ones have the 'please do not flush in stations' notice.
+Tengu Siv Or you have no feeling down your ass so you dont feel it. You never flush sitting down, ever, especially not when at public restrooms. You dont want that shit up your cheeks. Also you dont really smell your own shit unless you got like a case of infection.
+Justin Stubbs I don't do a full flush. I slowly turn the knob so that only a trickle of water is flowing. This decreases the smell from my poop, plus i don't have any water splashing on my ass. Of course this would only work on toilets where you can control the flow like that. If not, just hurry up do your potty, and once your done, close the toilet seat and flush(or don't flush, if you are like the people in my college).
A little piece of info you misst... While the toilet does NOT dump into the air ..... The Bathroom SINK DOES!!! IT actually has a heating system to insure the liquid does not freeze in the pipe before being ejected into the open wind!!! Granted the amount of water used in a sink is usually pretty low Still!! Now you know where your scumy hand wash water goes!
This actually happened recently when an old lady's intestines were literally pulled out because of vacuum toilets. Boeing has made design changes to tackle for future
Whenever I was on those Trans-Atlantic flights, I always assumed that the waste was released into the atmosphere and somehow disappeared because of the atmospheric difference. Don't ask me how I came to that "conclusion" but I just didn't think the plane could possibly hold the human waste of 300 passengers. That didn't make sense to me.
Hello, your brightness is too much, borderline blownout in highlights. Easy fix with change of the shutter, iso or f stop. Even digitally! Colour temp is also a bit off and I suggest using the indoor house light preset or around 2500-2900K in technical terms
In Jamaican prisons there are toilets for prisoners to use but they do not put them inside the cells they put them outside the cells ,lock the prisoners inside their cells and they then have to deficate into any container they can get their hands on from a water jug,plastic bag or a bucket.And not only that other inmates in the cell have to be inhaling the scent of faeces in these containers for hours on end but of course this is how they prescribe that prisoners should be rehabilitated.
"Showing the birds who's boss"? The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) estimates bird strikes cost US aviation 400 million dollars annually and have resulted in over 200 worldwide deaths since 1988.[51] In the United Kingdom, the Central Science Laboratory estimates[6] that worldwide, the cost of birdstrikes to airlines is around US$1.2 billion annually. - Wikipedia
One of my buddies was a pilot of old reconnaissance planes, that were basically old WWII bombers. He said when they finally upgraded aircraft, the thing he was most happy about, was that his new plane had a toilet, and he didn't have to do his business in a Home Depot bucket.
Airplane toilets can be improved, sensors can be added to the toilet seat, and if these sensors detect anything, the vacuum toilet won't flush. But the suction will be stronger, and there will be hot water strong jets added to the toilet bowl.
If the vacuum is created by the pressure differential in the cabin, how does the flush work when the plane is grounded? Surely the pressure is the same as outside.
Actually there is a shutoff valve stopping the soil from going into the lines, the lines are actually always pressurised. The valve has two diaphragms which act simultaneously to activate the valve, that's like a very simplified, you actually have to go into the construction of the valve to get the full working mechanism.
Russian trains still have these toilets where you press the pedal and can see the ground moving underneath. That's why they don't allow using restrooms in metropolitan areas.
Brings to mind an old story... So this guy works out the maintenance department of an airline. It's his job to reach up, open the hatch under the toilet hopper, undo the leaky cap, and collect the disgusting mix of fecal matter, chemical, and paper in a tank. Every day he winds up dripping with stinky crap and reeks even with his overalls off at day's end. He never gets invited to go for a beer or burger, and no one wants to be near him. Finally, his closest friend puts it to him: "Why don't you quit that vile job and do ANYthing else?" "What?!" he replies, "And give up aviation?!"
I've always thought that below the toilet bowl, was a garbage disposal that liquefied the waste, and then sent it on to the waste tank in the tail of the fuselage. I sure wish that home toilets worked that way. Nearly every time I take a growler, I have to use the plunger. My stools always get lodged in the S pipe, and clog it. The toilets that we have in homes and public buildings are basically the same kind of toilets we had 100 years ago. It's 19th century technology.
1:55 ...... if they use the pressure in the cabin to PUSH it down... doesn't that answer the question? That it will not SUCK your intestines in, because there is no sucking involved? So basically nothing would happen?
Let me help explain how an modern commercial aircraft's toilet work, because clearly you can't or don't know how. Yes they use differential pressure, but how does that work? Modern commercial airliners are equipped with a vacuum blower for use between the altitudes of 0 ft - 18,000ft. This creates the differential pressure that is required to suck the waste from the toilet bowl into the waste tank. Inside the waste tank, there is a water-air separator which filters the waste solids into the tank, and the air overboard the aircraft through an exhaust. From 18,000ft and above, the vacuum blowers are not used. Instead, the differential pressure created from the pressurization of the cabin pushes the waste through the waste lines into the waste tank where the waste-air separator separates the solids from the air. The air is again, sent overboard through an exhaust.
if they still had those toiets where the waste goes back down to the earth i would wait until i get near a house and then take the biggest shit of my life
I remember a guy fishing at my favorite fishing spot in Oregon and got rained on by a big pile of green and brown slime. That could ruin your day if you had to drive home like that.
Was it only me that have never thought that the flushing would suck my inner parts out?
same
Me too.
same
same
my cousin does hes 13
i just came to see if there's a possibility of someone dump falling on me from the sky
that will suck if that happens
It is now my life mission to find you, and poo on your head from a great distance above.
I mean, after I find that Orange Cheeto running for President and see if it can eat its own bum.
There is. Above ur comment stating that private planes doesnt have flush toilets. And hey, why are we even talking nasty things?
Same
Same
i was expecting more technical details about the vacuum pump system
me too
same.. this is boring
same. it's boring to see someone talking about poop while the video's title is about plane toilets
basically, in an aircraft, above 16,000ft, the aircraft no longer uses its vacuum generators. Instead, the vacuum the toilet is getting is from the differential pressure between the plane and the atmosphere.
The water that are used to flush the toilet bowls are used for the basins, your hot instant noodle etc. And those water your have used from the basins are thrown overboard during flight.
While your waste is sucked into a waste tank to be disposed during line maintenance
me too. was expecting an elaborate working of macerator and vacuum pumps and the like :/
still didnt explain how do plain toilets work
***** no it explained a bunch of other things
+JusstyteN I think he means that he isn't talking about "Plains"
Scrub Idiot i wante dto know exactly how plain toilets work including that suction, storing utilising etc. anyway it was in my suggested videos and i have no idea why
its plane not plain
There's a difference between plane and plain.
Which one are you talking about?
You didn't really explain how toilets work on aeroplanes; this frustrated me. A freaking diagram or something man, the whole video only managed to communicate a vague description written in two words, 'pressure differential'.
I was thinking the same. I mean after all that's the title of the video ;-)
Ikr
the test tube in the background looks like a bong
That's what I said.
lolyh
+Hannah Ahmed lol yh*
Just seen
Nice profile pic
This video should be called "History Of Air Plain Toilets"
Plane*
Dizzy Video lol. Yes you're correct.
Should have been called the history of explaining nothing. Zero info
For clarification, modern aircraft toilet systems allow the drainage of liquid into the atmosphere but solid matter is kept in the waste tank. To prevent the the liquid becoming a block of ice on the side of the plane, liquid is drained through a heated probe which is commonly found at the rear of the aircraft.
Getting your insides sucked out by an airplane toilet?
That must *suck*!
i'll go now
😂 😂 nice play on words
The puns
That would suck ass.
Plz stay
Wow lol
Hmm, I've never wondered if my insides would be sucked out.
Well now you lol
just wondering is James May no longer on this show?
+Peter Sweeney What... these videos are fine and very well arranged, they're consistently cited and take questions asked from viewers. The presenter is articulate and well read aswell. Some people cant be pleased can they.
We should go and get Jeremy Clarkson. He is already out of work, sooo, why not?? >:D
+Umbreon Fanatic (inoob26) I guess he is busy filming the new show for amazon
***** I don't mind the way it is now it's just I always like James May's commentary
+Umbreon Fanatic (inoob26) guess he cut all connections to the bbc alongside clarkson and hammond?
5 minute video with 1 minute of informaton
And why did TH-cam recommend this to me? 🤔😂
same lool
same here 😂😂
Same
same😕😕😕😕😕
me too
I don't know why this was recommended to me, but lets watch it
same
same
Ikr
He paid TH-cam.
lol same
Why is there a bong in the top left?
😕 boi
Eric Metzger Sup?
Ehehehe ⚗
just stop
+Junior Vieira so tru thooooo
Here's a good question.
Following the logic that cabin pressure is what pushes the waste down the toilet: if we were to operate all flushing buttons at once repeatedly for a few minutes, would it be enough to cause a cabin depressurization?
Mythbusters tackled this like 15 years ago.
Mythbusters wasn't a thing 15 years ago not even 14.
+Ariel g I was being hyperbolic, sorry that went over your head.
***** Many things go over my head.
I like your story

That said, it's always possible for contents of plane WCs to leak, because such planes have seals, on the valves on the storage tank intakes, that can leak with the freezing and thawing from being up very high in the sky.
But.. How do plane toilets work?
Exactly
...
-_-
Pressure differentiation.
I would imagine you would have to be morbidly obese in order to create an airtight seal while flushing.
So most Americans?
+codzomz oh boy, you just opened a can of worms.
+Justin Stubbs
Her rescuers broke the vacuum with a soapy spoon.
>evolution
Since I'm watching this on the toilet.. Who else does not like taking a dump with their jacket/sweater on?
I de-clothes completely when taking a dump at home. Of course, I live in a warm-weather region, so winter is no bother.
+ZhangtheGreat I don't know if you're joking or not, but I actually do take most is not all of my clothes off when taking a dump at home...
I get completely naked
I like to take my shirt off if I'm at home
Am I the only one who covers their ears when they flush in an airplane?
OMG me to XD cause I think it's loud -_-
+GSS The suction noise is too loud man.
No, im terrified by it :(
I've never been on an airplane so I don't know how it's like (I'm terrified of flying, lol). I usually just take the bus, which means holding my pee for 8 hours straight as buses don't have toilets 😒
@Paul Davenport thats disgusting
I mean why THE HELL did TH-cam put this in my recommend
Section
you fly and are full of shit? ;)
MEE 22
people pay to get videos on recommended I'm pretty sure
lol worndering that to now
never even went in a plane's bathroom. a record i plan to keep for life.
Modern trains have vacuum toilets too, and cool electric doors. I always find it amusing when older ones have the 'please do not flush in stations' notice.
Who flushes while they are still sitting?
+Justin Stubbs Psychopaths
***** Didn't know people like to get splashes of urinated water up their bum,
+Tengu Siv Or you have no feeling down your ass so you dont feel it. You never flush sitting down, ever, especially not when at public restrooms. You dont want that shit up your cheeks.

it´s actually supermarine stranaraer. the company that buld also the spitfire.
+KyleKartan87 Stranraer. Probably named after the place in Scotland.

Sorry, I´m german. I just know the Company ;)

😳. Elaborate?
"Maybe take some bottled water next time you fly?" How does he expect me to get bottled water on a plane?
Birds still show us who's boss in the air, when they fly into plane engines, and make a plane crash.
They also shit on people more than planes do
Suicide birds. Allu Akbird!
lol
lmao

Don't ask me how I came to that "conclusion" but I just didn't think the plane could possibly hold the human waste of 300 passengers. That didn't make sense to me.
I don't think there's a way to jettison waste in the air.
Then again, not everyone will go to the toilet.
philinator71 The average flight I was on was 14 hours long. Anyone who doesn't get the urge to use the toilet for 14 hours is simply not human.
Unless then went beforehand.
I rarely do I usually go before and then after
Good vid keep it up
Thanks for the new innovation
Why is there a bong next to your head?
Mythbusters actually tested the 'get sucked into an airplane toilet' myth in Season 1 Episode 2 (Biscuit Bazooka) and declared it busted.
the loud noise is scary. it always scares me
Hello, your brightness is too much, borderline blownout in highlights. Easy fix with change of the shutter, iso or f stop. Even digitally! Colour temp is also a bit off and I suggest using the indoor house light preset or around 2500-2900K in technical terms
So, what happens after the"matter" is"stored" at the back of the plane?
+1 Sub... Because TH-cam had the guts to offer this as a recommendation.
Am I the only who gets caught of guard by how loud the toilet is and gets scared?
Subscribed xD You are awesome dude
Thanks!
Beautiful explanation.
The perfect video to watch while eating

hey can you tell me how does this vacuum flush toilet work step by step in word please?
Why don't they use powerful acid to break down the waste
i wont brake only the shit or somthin idk :D
It wouldn't be safe having acid on a plane.
pricey kinda
They have to throw it somewhere anyway. It isn't good to pour strong acids into the ocean.
because its expensive and dangerous
Thanks for the info
I laughed when he said " when you got to go, you got to go " lol 😂 😂
you are amused easily
jonthan lo yaa ikr XD
very interesting channel
So can we use those vacuum toilets in our households? And do we want to?
0:12 ya get rekt birds
Birds: 🐦 bla bla bla bla.
U ... GET...REEEEEEEKT BIRS! YAAAAA!
i know its a type of conical flask- but i always wonder why you have a bong as part of the floating background :P
nice one, correct exposure would make it easier on the eyes tho
Airplane toilets can be improved, sensors can be added to the toilet seat, and if these sensors detect anything, the vacuum toilet won't flush. But the suction will be stronger, and there will be hot water strong jets added to the toilet bowl.

What is that little counter going up in the corner?
What's up with the counting in the lower left corner?
+Soda Bear and Polo Bear Stupid me, should have known. Thanks!
What about the shit that gets stucked to the surface inside the toilet bowl? How do you clean that without water?

Aren't you the guy from that fact show? With like 3 people and you score each other on how interesting your facts are?
This Might be one of the funniest videos ive ever seen :-1
OMG IVE ALWAYS WONDERED THIS!!!
I always brush my teeth with the plane's tap water whenever I travel. does that explain why I always get sick after flying?
+Frynker Murr probably, but why do you brush your teeth on the plane ? can't you stay 12hours without brushing your teeth ?
+Jaime Lannister he needs clean teeth incase it crashes, so he can still be identified.
Actually I like to keep my mouth fresh just in case if I miraculously survive a plane crash and in need for mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
Hilarious presentation
did any body see the bong behind him?
Yeah lol
You're both stupid.
bru
on the bottom left wath were you counting

what editing do you have
I am new to this channel, but do they place that annoying unnecessary text in the center of the screen in every video?
Im here out of curiosity. I have always wondered this
Am I the only one who find it weird that this video has gotten 1Million Views?

I'd make the argument that splitting the atom is mankind's greatest achievement.
What's with the symbol at the bottom left that has increasing numbers each time it shows up
I'm scared every time i press that flush button
4:29 "maybe take some bottled water" .....really dude?
"These semi-frozen blue ice missiles."
That thing! in the background! to the left of his left shoulder, there is no way that's a beaker. That, sir, is a bong, undoubtedly.
Let me help explain how an modern commercial aircraft's toilet work, because clearly you can't or don't know how. Yes they use differential pressure, but how does that work?
Modern commercial airliners are equipped with a vacuum blower for use between the altitudes of 0 ft - 18,000ft. This creates the differential pressure that is required to suck the waste from the toilet bowl into the waste tank. Inside the waste tank, there is a water-air separator which filters the waste solids into the tank, and the air overboard the aircraft through an exhaust.
From 18,000ft and above, the vacuum blowers are not used. Instead, the differential pressure created from the pressurization of the cabin pushes the waste through the waste lines into the waste tank where the waste-air separator separates the solids from the air. The air is again, sent overboard through an exhaust.
if they still had those toiets where the waste goes back down to the earth i would wait until i get near a house and then take the biggest shit of my life
Imagine just driving down the street and having a piece of crap crash through your windshield and it landed on your dashboard
Hi I am your big fan I was seen your all video and all episodes of factomania plz reply me 😭
Is it possible to have the same kind of toilets in trains?
Is that a bong in the backround ?? HAHAHAHAH
can someone PLEASE tell me when he talks about the shitter on a plane! This guy is making my head spin I need air!!!!
I remember a guy fishing at my favorite fishing spot in Oregon and got rained on by a big pile of green and brown slime. That could ruin your day if you had to drive home like that.
what does the little atom in the bottom left mean?
MythBusters tested this...
Is that a bong in the background
Haha
Ahh, The question thats baffled all air travelers: "How do Airplane toliets work?".
