The team's first step in designing a pee-predicament-preventing urinal was finding the best angle for a stream to hit the porcelain.
They then moved the research into a lab by shooting water at varying angles and at various forms of urinals — two that the scientists designed, and another two designed after conventional, commercially available models. Unlike real urinals, however, these were made of a dense foam coated in epoxy. The best design for most heights, they found, was the "Nauti-Loo." The cheekily named urinal, second from the right in the tweet above, is noticeably long and narrow compared to conventional ones. At its bottom, it abruptly curves outward — like a nautilus shell — forming a descending, triangular lip.
