why dont you just use ocean water?

Inventor Virginia Gardiner confirm that invented Loowatt, very simple to use, as it produces energy from human waste. The principle is simple and relies on the transfer of waste from the toilet tank to the side is isolated. Waste in the tank free of oxygen and thus the microbes in the waste analysis of waste from the process to produce methane and carbon dioxide and other gases. Gas is used for cooking

Great woman!!

I want more information about how we convert from solids to gas....so far what I can see is simple is the ability to compost human waste back to soil. Using a toilet that separates feces from urine is supposed to eliminate much of the odor. I love the concept and the presentation but want more info..."airheads" seems to be a great option (google them)

Thanks,

Dave

Plus, it will be very costly to establish a whole network of salt water plumbing and pipe system.

This must be the path to follow in ecological design.

I saw similar idea that when u poop u flush it with some kind of sand and then it turns into fertilized dirt the whole process is odorless.

The main concept is reduce the usage of the water which reduces the waste that goes to ocean.
