#10 The Flusher Pusher

This toilet-based design probably needs no further explanation - but just in case - here is the design from Statton Drew School in Bristol! The pianist presses the flush button which makes the water level rise, sending a ball down a tube and onto the piano key. Brilliant!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pianist presses the flush button which makes the water level rise, sending a ball down a tube and onto the piano key. The mechanism seemed amazing and we started designing it, however we were a bit concerned about having water on the stage, so we decided to modify the design having the flush button connected through a series of pulleys to the piano, et voila’, the Flusher Pusher was born!

The prototype was then brought back to Stanton Drew where we discussed together with the pupils about the mechanism and the decoration especially for the long pipe and the toilet!
