A Magnetic Toilet Flapper

Kryptonyte is Superman's weakness. Mine is leaking toilets.
I hate waste, especially when it comes with a price.
Back in the days when water was relatively cheap, a leaking toilet was just an annoyance. Today, a leaking toilet is literally throwing a lot of money down the drain.
It's bad enough my typical water bill is about $100 per month... Paying nearly twice that because of a leaking toilet drove me to think of ways to insure that never happens again. That's how I cam up with the idea for a magnetic toilet flapper.
The idea is pretty simple. A small magnetic ring is placed around the flapper hole at the bottom of the tank, and a metallic ring is embedded inside or above the flapper. When the handle is turned, a kink-free chain or bungee cord pulls the flapper out of the hole... and when it drops, the magnetic flapper insures there's always a tight seal.
