this is great, can be a solution in a populated area without access to toilets .. I am thinking of Africa ( where I am from) the only problem is how to cope with the behaviour change as in this part the world people still have an other perception of biogaz ( coming from sh..), we have to couple this solution with an awarness campaign

This is an exelent solution for the waste problem on pleasure boats. It is now (in the Netherlands) forbidden to flush waste overboard. The solution is a septic tank often also filled with a chemical where the waste goes. This dry toilet could
be a dry more compact system which also delivers gas for cooking.
So where ca I get one?

Amazing! A waterless toilet made out from human waste which will transformed into energy. This is a very creative design.

To promote this product in the “first-world”, governments should give tax incentives to get people off flush toilets. Not only will we have healthy water sources and aquatic life but we will not need to tearup our streets to install/replace sewer pipes and treatment facilities.
Simple is best. Congratulations on a great start.

Coupla points- Horsedung is valuable – it sells for $0.50 a kg in India and is extremely good manure, its so expensive that it is adulterated with donkey dung which unfortunately is not so good as manure. Why for developing countries only? Why not for the developed world? Charity begins at home

This is pretty amazing. Definite out of the box thinking. I’m interested in seeing what kind of actual impact this might have, if you consider how many people don’t have access to water, this could be an incredible solution for health issues AND a renewable source of energy. Let’s hope people can embrace this kind of vision.

Personally I find horse crap pleasing, it’s mostly grass and even in non-molded form smells sweet. I wouldn’t mind it looking organic. But certainly, for wide spread appeal…create one that let’s people abstract themselves from the process for widespread appeal!

This is awesome. It is an incredible notion to me that these days we think the sign of a great civilization and the height of technology dictates that we must put our cleanest water in toilets while 1.1 billion people on the planet lack access to clean drinking water. Virginia, you are my HERO!

Great idea! Amazing. ^__^
I have a suggestion. I imagine you can come up with another design that the people will not notice that this is made of pup. I mean the exterior part of the design. But this is great! keep it up! GOd bless. =)

Amazing. I imagine that if you can put it in an other design it can have a future
