I don't know why, but this big complex pipe structure was situated above the urinal. When you flush, the red light goes off and the green light goes on, and all the pressure dials start going crazy.
I don't know why

17 0 ReplyWell somebody installed it, of course, but the place is currently the storefront of a noodle shop that used to be a food cart. My guess is it wasn't them, but it feels like the ratio of probable cost to value is way out of wack for any restaurant unless this somehow fit into an aesthetic somehow.

That's an awesome Rube Goldberg machine of a pisser.
Hopefully whoever built that will make a version for the Chinese sperm extractor machine next.

I feel like the red light means you were not found worthy
1 0 ReplyGrey box is a flow sensor that turns lights on/off. Bell shaped thingy is a pressure reducing valve. Pressure gauges and valves are obvious. Not sure what the last thing is, maybe to prevent hammering?
