What do you know about the history of the toilet? The earliest known toilets date back to ancient Mesopotamia, some 5,000 years ago. According to the Nature magazine, these simple pit toilets were lined with a series of long ceramic tubes that prevented the solid contents from seeping into the surrounding soil, while also allowing liquids to slowly seep out through small holes. More complex toilets first appeared nearly a millennium later in the ancient Minoan civilisation. These public toilets show the first evidence of water being used to carry away waste, a practice that was later accepted by the Romans. Although Roman toilets were very similar to their Greek predecessors in that they were rows of perforated benches located above the sewers, they did have one sophisticated innovation, which was centralised plumbing. This meant that instead of each individual washing their waste with water from a nearby ceramic pot, all the unwanted material was conveyed by slow-moving water to a centralised sewer where the waste was flushed into the same river. The first modern flushing toilet Ajax was devised in 1596 by an Englishman, Sir John Harington,  a courtier to Queen Elizabeth I. It reportedly required 7.5 gallons (28 litres) of water to flush and notoriously lacked an S-bend, which meant that odours could waft back into the room without being curbed. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Ajax never really caught on with the public. In 1775, Scottish inventor Alexander Cumming filed the first patent for a flushing toilet. His design included an S-bend and a more complex valve system, similar to those found in today's toilets. Since then, toilets have developed increasingly modern and gradually they have become strongly associated with technology, greatly enhancing the quality of people's lives.

In a new experiment using bright green lasers and camera equipment, scientists from the University of Colorado Boulder were able to see airborne particles invisible to the naked eye. These particles are sprayed into the air when the lidless toilet is flushed. While researchers have known for more than 60 years that these tiny particles are released into the air during flushing, this study, published in Scientific Reports, is the first to directly visualize them, enabling measurements of how fast and how far the particles travel. Here's the worrying part: These particles can transmit pathogens, including bacteria, viruses or other microbes, that can cause disease. In just eight seconds, the particles shot out at a rocket speed of 6.6 feet per second, reaching 4.9 feet above the toilet, with larger droplets appearing to land on the surface within seconds, while smaller droplets, the scientists report. The drops seem to linger in the air for a period of minutes or even longer. The researchers point to the importance of understanding the effects of these particles to mitigate exposure. "If it's something you can't see, it's easy to pretend it doesn't exist. But once you see these videos, you'll never think about toilet flushing the same way again,"

In recent years, designers have come up with many ideas for toilets as part of a global effort to provide safe, hygienic and effective sanitation in areas from India to Mars. These innovations include developing alternatives to water- or electricity-powered toilets, as well as creating more convenient alternatives to traditional waste disposal technologies. Many responded that the WHO estimates that around 2.8 billion people worldwide are forced to use unsafe sanitation facilities. While some of the following are already in use in specific locations, many are still concepts designed for future use in society. We will share with you a few innovative toilets. Archie Read's Sandi Toilet ：Archie Read invented a waterless toilet called the Sandi, designed for rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa where many people do not have access to safe sanitation. Users fill the toilet's tank with sand or a similar dry and powered material, such as sawdust, to prevent faeces from sticking to the belt. After use, the toilet is 'flushed away' by a lever that activates the belt and takes the waste to the bin below, which is sealed by a spring-loaded door. Nagami's 'throne' ：A collaboration between Spanish studio Nagami and the To.org Foundation, the 'Throne' is a toilet cubicle 3D printed from discarded medical equipment. This portable toilet consists of three parts - a pear-shaped body, a double curved sliding door and a bucket for collecting solid waste that can then be composted and used as fertiliser. Hi Toilet by Kazuo Sato：Visitors needing to relieve themselves while walking through Tokyo's Shichiko-dori Park can do so in the Hi Toilet, a public toilet that uses voice commands to control functions including the door, toilet flush, taps and playing ambient music. Designer Kazoo Sato designed this toilet to counteract the perception of public toilets as poorly lit, dirty, smelly and scary. LooWatt's waterless toilet ：The LooWatt may not look futuristic, but its inventor believes it could revolutionise sanitation, especially for those living in extreme poverty. It can be flushed without using any water, safely disposing of human excrement, which is then collected in a biodegradable polymer membrane and sent to an anaerobic digester where it is converted into electricity. We believe that creating new solutions for 21st century sanitation requires giving people the same experience as a flush toilet, both hygienic and odor-free. On the road of toilet innovation, Oceanwell continues to break through and strive to develop a number of toilet products with cutting-edge technology and environmental protection .

As soon as the clock strikes midnight on Dec. 1, it can feel like Christmas is already underway. The holiday often celebrated through gift giving and decorating trees falls on the same date every year: Dec.25. From the cookies, tinsel, ribbons and omnipresence of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You," the holiday has evolved past its religious traditions.  The English term "Christmas" is fairly new in origin from its previous name "Yule," says Britannica. In other countries, the holiday's name is closer to "nativity," such as "Navidad" in Spanish, "Natale" in Italian and "Noël" in French. Although the exact birth date of Jesus Christ is unclear, Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ. Pope Julius I chose December 25 as the official date of the Feast of the Nativity, according to History.com. Despite its religious origins, Christmas is also celebrated as a secular holiday in many countries. As Christmas is approaching, we would like to convey our sincere greetings to you all and take this chance to appreciate your support for Oceanwell. 2022 is still a tough year due to the continuous COVID, the high freight cost, the Russia-Ukraine war and severe inflation, but Oceanwell even worked harder and overcome various difficulties, constantly improving our factory facilities and efficiency and management systems, consistently developing and investing in new products,, including the Intelligent toilet and bidet seat, Flushing cisterns, Aged care products, toilet seats and other bathrooms products.
