They didn\u2019t just eyeball it. They fired a dyed-water jet through a urethra-mimicking nozzle onto test surfaces angled meticulously between 0 and 90 degrees. What they found would make even Newton nod approvingly: angles over 30 degrees are splash factories. Anything shallower drastically tames the wild energy of a stream. That led them to craft the Nautilus, a urinal that captures and channels urine like a fluid dynamics masterpiece, reducing splashback by a staggering 98%.<\/p>\n<p>Designers: Kaveeshan Thurairajah, Xianyu (Mabel) Song, J D Zhu, Mia Shi, Ethan A Barlow, Randy C Hurd, Zhao Pan (University of Waterloo)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-548486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/worlds-first-splashless-urinal-keeps-the-floor-clean-and-your-pants-pee-free\/splashless_urinal_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/25\/worlds-first-splashless-urinal-keeps-the-floor-clean-and-your-pants-pee-free\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"World\u2019s First \u2018Splashless\u2019 Urinal keeps the Floor Clean and your Pants Pee-free\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/worlds-first-splashless-urinal-keeps-the-floor-clean-and-your-pants-pee-free\/splashless_urinal_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-548486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/worlds-first-splashless-urinal-keeps-the-floor-clean-and-your-pants-pee-free\/splashless_urinal_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/04\/25\/worlds-first-splashless-urinal-keeps-the-floor-clean-and-your-pants-pee-free\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"World\u2019s First \u2018Splashless\u2019 Urinal keeps the Floor Clean and your Pants Pee-free\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/04\/worlds-first-splashless-urinal-keeps-the-floor-clean-and-your-pants-pee-free\/splashless_urinal_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"460b63357a7f18e01dd70c60-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"460b63357a7f18e01dd70c60-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Visually, it\u2019s a sleek swirl of ceramic engineering, a tighter, more inviting spiral that looks more like a modernist sculpture than a bathroom fixture. Unlike the brutish slanted walls of traditional urinals, the Nautilus hugs the stream, guiding it along a smooth, gentle curve with the elegance of a Formula 1 racetrack designed purely for liquids. And while there\u2019s a brutalist Cornucopia prototype that looks like it came from Elon Musk\u2019s fever dream, the Nautilus is the undisputed champion, working for users of almost any height, which is kind of a miracle when you realize how unregulated the chaos of public restroom aim usually is.<\/p>\n<p>And this wasn\u2019t just an aesthetic choice. The Nautilus was torture-tested with poor aim scenarios, erratic flow rates, and simulated misfires. Yet, it consistently captured everything with a grace that makes you wonder why we tolerated Jackson Pollock floors for so long. The data is even more satisfying: switching North America over to Nautilus-style urinals could save up to 10 million liters (2.6 million gallons) of water per day. That\u2019s not small change when cities are scraping the barrel for every drop.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to romanticize grand challenges \u2013 curing cancer, saving the planet \u2013 but life is a patchwork quilt stitched from a thousand tiny annoyances. Pee splash isn\u2019t glamorous, but it\u2019s real. It\u2019s the kind of everyday indignity that quietly erodes dignity and comfort without anyone noticing until suddenly, they\u2019re standing in it.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the magic of design thinking at its best: no problem too petty, no dignity too small to preserve. And the payoff is tangible. Imagine cleaner public bathrooms, lower maintenance costs, fewer eco-unfriendly cleaning products being dumped down the drain. Suddenly, a small tweak in geometry feels like it shifts the axis of civilization a few degrees toward better.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the real sign of a society leveling up isn\u2019t flying cars or robot butlers. Maybe it\u2019s how little urine ends up where it shouldn\u2019t be.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SHARE\"><\/span>SHARE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"sd-content\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-facebook\"><span><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-x\"><span>X<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-pinterest\"><span>Pinterest<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-reddit\"><span>Reddit<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-linkedin\"><span>LinkedIn<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-tumblr\"><span>Tumblr<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-pocket\"><span>Pocket<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-email\"><span>Email<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-print\"><span>Print<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-end\"><\/ul>\n<div class=\"sharing-hidden\">\n<div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-telegram\"><span>Telegram<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-threads\"><span>Threads<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-jetpack-whatsapp\"><span>WhatsApp<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-mastodon\"><span>Mastodon<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-bluesky\"><span>Bluesky<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-nextdoor\"><span>Nextdoor<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-end\"><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p>\n<div>\n                                                            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n                            <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                <span>Sarang Sheth<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                        <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
