Watched a few videos explaining how toilets work before seeing this one, and this one was the only one that explained how filling the bowl with water made it flush. Thanks for clarifying things!
When you showed the siphon operation, you should have shown "all" the water in the bowl be siphoned away. Water would not have remained in the bowl the way it was shown, because this would create a vacuum in between the departing water and the remaining water.
I literally found out how this works yesterday, so I'm here to tell you how you got it wrong! 😜 Your illustrations are of two completely different types of toilet tank. 1:02 Your side view shows a US style toilet where the handle opens a flapper valve in the bottom of the tank that just let's the water out downwards. But the inset diagram labelled "Graphic with more detail" shows a UK-style cistern, where the handle forces water up a tube that forms a siphon, as labelled, so there isn't a naked hole in the bottom of the tank like there is on the main image.
After a friend of mine discovered a rat in her toilet I became more interested in exactly how a toilet works. National Geographic does actually have a video that shows how something like a rat could climb up through pipes and show up in your toilet bowl! 😱
The demo does not empty the entire toilet. I’m curious how that works. 1. How water level is kept constant in a toilet after emptying all that were before. 2. How (what force) it empties in the first place.
Can you make a video like this one but show the differences between the way the different types of toilets around the world work like you did American toilets? How does the UK toilet work with the American toilet?
8 mar 2022 11:26 pm est(utc-5):thanks . my mother use coloring-agent-liquid to check why sometimes toilet inhale but no one is flushing . and that coloring-agent-liquid enter toilet-bowl occasionally while no one is flushing , telling that piston is automatically-sending little water gradually to toilet-bowl until water-tank become semi empty then water-tank self-refill water while making inhale-noise . piston-renewal fix that problem . now toilet inhale again occasionally but my mother is in foreign country . so i want to know how toilet work.
This is horrible... What path does the water take?... What type of system causes the "swoosh" sound and moves the "stuff" so aggressively?... Its in the bowl design for sure .. what about the little holes around the rim, what path does the water take to get there?. Is it a dual path?... You illustrated the water in the bowl only at 45 degree angle... never level..... This should be removed from youtube accept for maybe suggested it for 8 year olds..
Now to answer the mystery of why Americans feel like they need 100 litres of water to pee/poo in when Australia and the UK has proven you need a few cups full 😂. The amount of times my hand ended up in water while pooing in America was beyond a joke.
I’m watching this while on a toilet.
Sameeeee!!!

Same dude
Same😂
Me too

😂😂😂😂
Yes, most videos don't even address this, which is arguably the most important part: the S trap
I'm currently on the toilet watching this while high 😂🤣🚽
31 years of life and now i finally know how a toilet works

Yep, you're right! Apologies on the faulty animation :)
Absolutely stunning perfect explanation thanks a million dude!!
I’ve seen your videos!
How do these videos have so little viewers when they're so good
Thank you!
I 100% needed to know this xD
Thank you much for this video. So interesting!
I’ve gone 25 years without realize a toilet is a big pee trap literally lmao

Why does the overflow tube in the tank where the water re-fills the tank not fill up with water?
a real educational video and great explain and show the water pushing trough and filling again make a smell lock to keep smell away
Great video! I now have a starting point on designing my own toilet for my school project. Thanks!!
I would actually like to know how this turns out, update?
Who ever you are , don't forget that :"Poop have more power than you think".
Gotta love that KSP background music.
I wonder where did the waste go,thats why i look for this video
Thanks! I showed this to my 5yo because she didn't understand why the toilet wouldn't flush again after she just flushed
Fun fact: in the streets before toilets was made people threw their poop out in the streets and it became a hazard for cities so they made toilets

its the TURDIS
There's more to it like the vent that runs to the top of your roof
used this to fix a toilet for $100
I just see a moving diagram. You need a big yellow hand pointing out what you're talking about for it to make sense
Was puking my brains out on the toilet last night woke up to this in my TH-cam… guess I got curious 🤷♂️
That helped me 100%
Im watching this so I can explain to my friend where I spawned behind them
Appreciate ❤️
I understood everything
Thank you.
Man none of these videos explain what goes on with the overflow tube during the refill
51 years old and I just learned this today.
FINALLY I can rest knowing how my restroom works.
That's a relief.
F*** yeah!

Kerbal Space Program music in background tbh

pov: you searched for this
That's some serious s**t.
Honestly I don’t care about the science. As long as my toilet flushes and I have toilet paper, im all Gucci
im watching this cause i accidentally flushed my right earring
Im watching this because i flushed something down the toilet
The country of india disliked this video.

in asia, they just poop into a hole, there is not a single toilet over there, unless you are wealthy
good story. not true though
This is very false lmao.
bc they squat and uses a pail of water manually to flush the feces

You say that like we all gathered in a room and unanimously agreed on it
