Thanks Red Badger.
...a toilet that works without links to water, sewage or power networks...
Maybe it can run on malaria-ridden mosquitos, or aborted fetuses.

“Bill Gates has given Dutch researchers the task of creating a toilet that works without links to water, sewage or power networks.”

Gee, he could have looked in the phone book and probably found several outfits that supply the plastic/fantastic port-a-johns.

They seem to work fine, without connection to the water, sewage or power networks!

Just sayin’....

Unless they think they can violate the laws of thermodynamics, some amount of energy other than that necessary to ‘get the process rolling’ willneed to be added to this system. NO process which utilizes energy is 100% efficient.

Then again, Bill Gates IS very wealthy. Maybe he can bribe the ‘Thermo-gods’ into allowing him to ignore those pesky physical laws.
