Yes, scientists could develop flying cars or genetically engineered slaves that would eventually conquer us. But who really needs those developments? We would be content if we could use urinals without getting pee on ourselves from the splashback.
The brightest minds in physics have labored in this field for years. Now, Popular Science reports, they have developed two ideal urinals. Researchers in Canada designed the two urinals named the Cornucopia and the Nautilus. The researchers use advanced computer modeling of fluid mechanics to provide for a cleaner urinary experience.
Their inspiration came from dogs. The researchers found that dogs pee against objects at particular angles that reduce splash. They measured the impact of urine at different angles to find the ideal solution to the "isogonal curve problem." The result is less splashing.
