Not a very good idea when the **** comes bubbling up into the cistern
and under the lid and all over the floor.

Like plunginig a sink or basin, there is a need to block the air path
via the over flow. Cannot get a vacuume with the type of toilet we use
here in the UK.

mmmm the vid should continue to show little man using other "ingenious" eastern methods of following that "depth charge" and forcing it through the soil pipes, traps, interceptor drains, access chambers etc etc until it's "really" gone away :)

I've not looked at this, but some years ago a tv show was based on the least
successful devices invented. One of these was the gimbal mounted 'steady'
toilet for inside all terrain vheicles, boats etc. it seems the designer had
no knowledge of resonance or inertia at all....

it's a 'new' way to unblock a toilet, a piece of plastic sheet with very
strong adhesive on it is pressed over the bowl of the bog,
Then the flush is pulled and the water rises up in the bowl, causing the
sheet of plastic to dome as it's sealed to the rim, then you push down on
the dome to force the water down the pan, hopefully pushing the blockage
through the U bend,

Of course it's done on a toilet with close coupled toilet cistern, would be
'fun' to see the look on the blokes face if he did it on a bog with a pipe
between cistern and pan... and the usual rubber cuff type fitting

And when it all goes wrong and you are left with a dome if sh*t that
will not drain!

Crap idea (sorry).

Hmm.
I think that was a syphonic toilet. (with a double "U" bend.)

If you did that over here, you could force all the crap up the flush pipe
and into the tank.
