I will likely list these on eBay somewhat soon; but before I do, if anyone is interested in anything here I'd prefer to sell the lot in fewer transactions. I'm trying to reduce collection to one bin haha (I'll keep the "catching air" and the previous boys uk drynites; the only print I never found a pack of that I wanted was the ~2008(?) ATV, oh well) Ideally someone wants like 100% in one go and we can negotiate a total. I also have most of the original magazine-ad cutouts well-maintained I can throw in. I can also throw in loads of current boys XL for a good price, as I somehow ended up purchasing like 20+ packs when they released earlier this year... I have a lot, and this is after I purged half of the old random branded ones a year ago. ugh. The number in the bottom right of each image is specific to one "unit"/set. Unless a quantity available is specified. (The Australian "Believe" DryNites for example.) Error on image #019: "(qty: 50(?))" simply means about ~50 total GoodNites among those 2 packages. Be warned! I may be slow to respond; sorry

It's 99% clear to me now, I'm dumb. Obviously, the threaded propeller shaft with the plunger is free-floating; Any pressure from fluid would apply a small amount of force to the back of the plunger, stopping it from rotating, keeping it closed. So when you want to open it, a small bit of rotation from the magnetic field starts to open it, and more flow = stronger rotation, that forces the shaft to spin open and keeps the shaft in the open position. Without any flow, it's only held in place by the friction of the threads and bearing surfaces, and gravity. From this, it's probabbbbly pretty likely you can't close it while there is significant outgoing urine, once started. And it probably works pretty well for staying closed, such a small mass I can't imagine gravity would do much in the way of rotating the shaft open. First person here to get one needs to void, and try jumping up and down a bunch, and see if you leak at all after. Yeah probably no fail-open mechanism...

Looks like the propeller is perhaps a normally-open/fail-open; if there is some means of over pressure to allow flow, it would turn the shaft into the open position. Or it may just be as simple as a method of assisting/expediting the opening process after it's been started by the external field. Or maybe something more clever than I can think of right now is happening. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05330598?id=NCT05330598&draw=2&rank=1 Though I wouldn't lie to medical professionals myself so it would probably be difficult to actually get these in a legitimate manner. Maybe someone can source haha
