| SELECTED IDEAS OF BUCKMINSTER FULLER |
| BATHROOM: SCIENTIFIC SHOWER |
| FULLER'S FOG GUN CLEANING SYSTEM |
 |
As far back as 1948 R Buckminster Fuller demonstrated a design for a scientific method of cleaning. |
The book The Dymaxion World of Buckminster Fuller states: |
| "His fog gun....afforded a new kind of bathing. |
It combined [90%] compressed air (over 200 pounds/square inch) and [10%] atomized water with triggered-in solvents. |
The kinetic force of the high-pressure air stream was utilized without the skin-damaging effect unavoidable in high-pressure needle-pointing of water streams....." |
"....A one-hour massaging pressure bath used only a pint of water. |
If fog gun bathing were done in front of a heat lamp, all the sanitary & muscle-relaxing effects of other types of bathing could be effected without the use of any bathroom." |
This idea could also be adapted to washing dishes, clothes, vehicles, etc. |
