How to change direction of toilet flush

Whiplash

2006-03-08, 12:21 am

I've been trying for a couple hours to change the direction my toilet
flushes

I would like it to flush counterclockwise...but it always flushes
clockwise

what is the problem

when I let the water out of my sinks it does the same thing...it goes
clockwise...
---

I need to change the diretion of the toilet...i figure this will help
keep it clean, you know...stir it the other way for a change

Move your house & fixtures to the southern hemisphere

Who are you trying to kid? No one believes you even have indoor
plumbing.

You dumb XXX! :-) Put your back to the toilet and look at it flush with a
mirror.

Move to the southern hemisphere... the direction of swirl is a
function of the earths rotation.

i just can't get no satisfaction

at least this information would be helpful if I was ever kidnapped and
dropped off in a strange land, i could at least tell wich hemisphere I
was in

otherwise, this is obserd

ok wait min, the earth is spinning at 1,038 at the equator...

im about mid way to the north pole, probably comin in around 7-900 mph

on the other hand, if I moved to the north pole at 0 deg lat long my
toilet would flush straight down...now that might be a sight

Common knowledge Phil. But here's an interesting article on it plagerized
from the Web:

Well, there is such a thing as the Coriolis effect. It explains why
macroevents such as hurricanes rotate in a clockwise direction in the
Southern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.
However, when you get down to itty-bitty phenomena such as the water
draining out of your bathtub, the Coriolis effect is insignificant,
amounting to roughly three ten-millionths of the force of gravity (in
Boston, at least, which is where they happened to do the measuring).

The boring truth is that water drains every which way no matter what
hemisphere you're in, for reasons which have to do mostly with the shape
of the drain, the way you poured in the water in the first place, and so
on.

All this was demonstrated way back in 1962 by one Ascher Shapiro, a
researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Shapiro filled a
circular tank six feet in diameter and six inches high in such a way that
the water swirled in a clockwise direction. (Remember, now, that Coriolis
forces in the Northern Hemisphere act in a counterclockwise direction.)

Shapiro then covered the tank with a plastic sheet, kept the temperature
constant, and sat down to read comic books or whatever scientists do
while they wait for their experiments to percolate. When he pulled the
plug after an hour or two, the water went down the drain clockwise,
presumably because it still retained some clockwise motion from filling.

On the other hand, if Shapiro pulled the plug after waiting a full 24
hours, the draining water spiraled counterclockwise, indicating that the
motion from filling had subsided enough for the Coriolis effect to take
over. When the plug was pulled after four to five hours, the water
started draining clockwise, then gradually slowed down and finally
started swirling in the opposite direction.

Needless to say, unless you are a consummate slob, you do not wait 24
hours (or even 4-5 hours) to drain your bathtub. Hence the influence of
the Coriolis effect may be safely described as slight.

But I'm sure the myth of the bathtub spirals will endure. Shapiro did his
work in 1962 and I proclaimed it to the world in 1983.

Once again, you dumb XXX :-) Where you gonna plug in and electric toilet
at the North Pole?

> ....my toilet would flush straight down...now that might be a sight

It would be more of a sight at the South Pole. When you flush the toilet
it would flush straight up and blow the water straight back in your face.

Bundy...you have way too much time on yer hands...and you've
been talking to Rico too much.

What you FAIL to realize is that if people started to
interfere with the natural swirl of their drains that the
torque reversal kicked back though the fixture to its base
bolts and plumbing would slow the spin of the earth,,
loosing some of the anti gravitational effects of centrifical
force, gravitational forces would be more effective and people
would be sucked into the mud in damp climates... for short
people this can be FATAL

You did NOT know this of course,

During Viet Nam we had 'shitters' (outhouses) on the base. One afternoon I
was sitting next to a newbie (new in-country) and when he was finished he
started twisting all around, looking for something. Asked what the hell he
was doing and he said he was trying to figure out how to 'flush it'.
Laughed so hard I nearly fell in. Later that afternoon I sent him out for 5
gallons of rotor wash and didn't see him for the next two days.

{Guess I better 'splain' (as Rick Recardo would say), rotor wash is the
downdraft that comes off the rotor blades of a helo for the aeronautical
'ignornt'. Sort of an initiation for the new guys, like send them out for 15
yards of flight line (in actuallity it's runway); things like that.}

Back in the shop in the old days we used to send the newbies off to find
who had the Brass Magnet or the Sky Hook. Of course anyone there for a
few months knew that when someone asked for either, "No, I don;t have it.
I think xxx has it." The newbie spent a lot of timm going from person to
person constantly getting referred.

Thats one of the problems... people just saying damn,,, and
not doing anything about the problem.. if each person simply
unbolted one toilet flange most of these excess gravity issues
would resolve.

but get a deal page for bear records. You're not just funin' us are ya?

Assume cat's name is Jupiter. Cool. May have upped you one on it though.
Recently inherited a stray. Tortoise color mix - random black and tan
face. Looks like one of those jungle military guys. So I call the cat
Sniper.

Every time I go out and call it I hear doors closing but never see any
people. Neighbors must be all recluses or something.

well that sounds just like my oldest cat, 7yrs old, she's a tabby..you

So you don't think it has anything to do with going out and yelling
"Sniper! Sniper! Sniper!" in a military city?

I was gonna try to be mundane about a name and just call it Little Girl.
Then I'm thinking, going outside in a neighborhood with kids around
yelling "Come'ere little girl, come'ere little girl" might get me a visit
from Bubba at the Sheriff's office.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. While the
discharge is swirling CCW, the pipe is trying to turn CW. That is why
pipes have right hand threads. The CW torque on the pipe tightens
them.

Common knowledge. Have you by any chance noticed the lighthearted silliness
in this thread?

Thanks to the Coriolis effect, toilets flush clockwise in the northern
hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern.
Status: False.
Origins: Because
the Earth is a globe spinning on an invisible axis, a point at its equator
will make a circuit of 25,000 miles in the space of a day, but any point not
on the equator will make a shorter round trip; the closer that point is to
either of the poles, the shorter its trip will be. Put another way, a pencil
at the equator travels 1,030 miles an hour, whereas another at Sarasota,
Florida, moves at 930 miles per hour, and one at the North pole doesn't move
at all.

This apparent difference in speed results in the Coriolis force, an effect
that imparts a twist to largish events happening away from the equator. Best
known is its effect on air masses: as they move away from the equator, their
speed (which matches that of where they started from) appears to be faster
than that of the surface over which they are traveling. This sets them
turning in a clockwise twist in the northern hemisphere and a
counterclockwise twist in the southern. (Before you complain we have that
backwards, please click here.) Likewise, a cannonball fired due north will
veer a teeny bit to the east, and one fired to the south will deflect ever
so slightly to the west, something a skilled gunner would make an adjustment
for.

The twisting effect of the Coriolis force is real and does influence certain
large things like the movement of air masses, but the effect is so small
that it plays no role in determining the direction in which water rotates as
it exits from a draining sink or toilet. The Coriolis effect produces a
measurable effect over huge distances and long periods of time, neither of
which applies to your bathroom. Toilets and sinks drain in the directions
they do because of the way water is directed into them or pulled from them.
If water enters in a swirling motion (as it does when a toilet is flushed,
for example), the water will exit in that same swirling pattern; as well,
most basins have irregular surfaces and are not perfectly level, factors
which influence the direction in which water spirals down their drains. The
configuration of taps and drains is responsible for the direction of spin
given to water draining from sinks and bathtubs to a degree that overwhelms
the slight influence of the Coriolis force.

The belief that the Coriolis force influences the direction in which water
drains from plumbing fixtures is widespread and has been repeated as fact in
a number of venues, including popular television shows (such as world
traveler Michael Palin's Pole to Pole) and even in textbooks. We can only
speculate on why people are so enamored of this snippet of misinformation,
guessing that it has something to do with the desire to find some of the
mysteries of science in the realm of the everyday.

this may be true, I just cant picture it.

suppose a bullet travels at 3,000 mph. what if I was traveling 3,000
mph and shot a bullet.
will the bullet just lay there..no..it will leave the barrel at 3,000
mph (from my point of reference)...but to the onlooker who is
stationary, the bullet is traveling 6,000 mph.

on second thought, I think you're right, I can picture it now.

how do we explain my experiment. I fill the bathtub then pull the
stopper out...
i see a small tornado forming in the deepest part near the drain,
soon...it reaches the top makes a sucking sounds...and it sure is going
clockwise...SO I stir the water counter clockwise....(even break up the
little sucking funnel)... I watch and watch, oy! it's back! clockwise.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzst! Awwwwwwww! try again!

It took me 40 minutes to complete reading this. I fell asleep.

I was however entertained by Bigbadbarry's response though.

So the moral of the story is, just like a devistating forest fire,
something good comes out of nothing good.

puhleezze.... your long drawn out attempt to discredit SCIENCE
has not gone unnoticed. Fortunately anyone can check this
out for themselves... I did when I was about 8.

In the bathtub ... just go sit your XXX in there with plenty
of water and then take the rubber duckie and swirl the water
over the drain counter clockwise... then pull the plug and
watch the swirl reverse and go the right way again.

The torque is a result of water moving at 1000 mph or so (with
the earths rotation)... and another thousands of miles an hour
with the earths orbit of the sun in three other
directions....and hundreds of thousands of miles an hour
through space as our solar system spirals into the core of the
milky way with the black hole in the center... in 3 other
directions.

We are actually hauling XXX through space as I type this.

etc.

Then you pull the plug and the water is forced out of all
those vector paths by gravity...into a straight line more or
less down the drain..... that straight line is not
translatable to all of these other forces, so those express
radially on the water itself, imparting the swirl you see....

and you can test it in your bathtub.

test test test test.....

lol, that's a pretty good breakdown

--

so it's spin plus gravity

the mass of the water (here) dictates how easily the spin manipulates
the water

it's like...actually, the water is standing still...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

the bathtub is moving at 1,038 mph! lol

ezzzactly... but theres more. its also orbiting the sun and
simultaneiously being sucked into the black hole at the center
of the milkyway galaxy...you forgot to mention that....

additionally the entire mess is operating through the aether,
micro specs of crap through which waves travel...like photons
etc...

as with ocean waves, these 'wave/particles' take place in a
medium... aether is the medium though which all of this
operates imo.... producing friction, which is the traction
interface with the water headed south out of your looo.

The aether notion was of course popular when all the people
with brains were still alive, Maxwell, Tesla, Faraday
etc...these guys are still ahead of their time..we have gotten
dumber since then ...not smarter. The world has bred armies
of idiots (spun from the brains tendency to rationalize)

....due to a need to obviate the exact details of the aether
construct, particle size etc, (because that is the medium
through which thought travels as I had speculated to one of
the boyz at LLNL as they were ding the nutrino mass
experiment) ... the aether notion had to be spun to oblivion
in order to completely smoke over the mind blowing work being
done in that area (all in the name of world peace and harmony
of course).

enter a wide range of nut cases with 9 brands of string
theory, all of it landing on its XXX... untill finally
unitized by one smart man who blew everyones mind...and that
hung-in for about 7 years, still smoke though.. just
unified.........

the bogusness wouldnt float forever though.... pooooof.. back
to the aether.

Searching Steven Rado on the issue is interesting.

The sea gains traction on waves as the aether gains traction
on whatever goes down your drain... this interplay is only
shown visible though when the vector forces are twisted,
creating a visible effect....a counter force, in this case
showing up as a vortex in the water as it is channeled by
gravity down a straight drain tube.

are there less grossly noticeable effects? Oh yes. This is
an area of the most intense research seen yet. The 'winner'
of this race will determine who dominates the earth.....key
word is dominates... seen as a mud ball to some, but the
epitomy of existence by others.

It is the mud ball people who want to grab this technology by
the throat and own it.

It is however the mud ball perspective that is precluding that
range of insights.. the mud ball people remain blind... try as
they may.

Still the progress is significant. It is my view that
Einstein and his predicessors knew precisely how to calculate
the aether, and maybe Tesla actually did, while Einstein chose
to throw a pipe wrench into the gears to derail such
comprehension.

It all fits now. Phil Scott is your newsgroup name and you are really
Steven Hawking funin' with us.

How bout we all kill the lights and dim the monitors and you conjure us
up Carl Sagen for some yak, ya think? I wanna ask him if he still needs a

Well you really suck at your job then. You couldn't even be weatherman.

speaking of the weather: I was here last night minding my own business
as usual...

boom boom boom! <cops at the door, i know a cop knock when I hear it>

i goto the door got my piece in my hand, I look through the peep
hole...

my house is surrounded by the police. at least 6 cars parked all around

quickly quickly i scan my memory 3 times, but can think of no valid
reason for them to be here...

I open the door, the cop looks at my gun..i quicky say..oh sorry, I
didn't know who it was..i lay my steel on the floor away from me,
beside me.

They are looking for a robber. they noticed my gate around back was
open, and wanted to look around back, I say sho! I had left my crawl
space door open a couple days ago and just walking through my yard
tween the houses you can see that from outside the fence.

That's all it was. they crawled up under my house looking for a robber.

a little corner store 1/2 block from here had gotten robbed AGAIN, it
just got robbed about 4 nights ago (at gun point)....i live in the
ghetto, but it's actually a very quiet section where everyone owns dey
home

it was funny, they had no negative reaction about my gun, i guess body
langauge plays a part too. I just wasn't thinking, Im like..im on your
side. that and my rear truck glass has all current state police agency
donation stickers on it (now did i make a pledge yes I did, you get
stickers and pledge envelopes when you make a pledge) did I send my
pledge in?

well of course I did. I got the stickers to prove it.

is there a point to this post? of course not...

Geesh, a 50/50 chance of being right and you still are wrong!

Registered, got draft number, never called me. A real patriot would have
just signed up. Hard to fight oncoming traffic running to Canada.
Anyway, bro was in South Vietnam at the same time. Says it is totally
discusting and insane. None of this, dude gets hit with bullet, clutches
a teeny hole and falls down gently. More like parts flying all over the
place. Stay in the states bro!

Ok this is heavy stuff...Test 1 ...I tried it and was sent spinning so
fast I was thrown out of the tub...Its best to leave things as they
are CW....And my uncle was a Master Plumber...He told me never drain
the tub while still in it...Things can get sucked down with the water
