See how the toilet does not use water - products awarded by Bill Gates $ 710,000

Can save water and treat waste cleanly, what's more amazing?

Four years after the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation awards US $ 710,000 for a revolutionary, non-water toilet , this technology has once again been financially supported.

Called the Nano Membrane Toilet by the Cranfield University developers, this toilet has received additional funding, but we only know that extra money grows, the exact number is unknown by the great spokesperson. Cranfield refused to give that number.

Scientists will use that money to continue improving the first prototypes and will soon put them into some African countries for testing.

The mission of these high-tech toilets is to help 2.4 billion people around the world still live in unsanitary conditions. They do not have clean water to use and a large community of people who face dangerous diseases from a lack of clean, unsanitary water .

This water-free toilet bowl will be a great tool to combat these hazards.

Ms. Alison Parker, a lecturer at Cranfield's Water Science Institute, says her team will focus a lot on poverty-stricken areas of the world, areas of water shortage and poor sanitation. Eliminating the danger in such places, the quality of human life will surely increase.

Currently, this project has not been implemented because the toilet itself needs to be maintained every 6 months. Parker says it will not be installed in underdeveloped areas, unless it has proven its reliability in major cities.

And this is how this toilet works

After a person has " completed the trial" and closed the toilet lid, the inner system will rotate 270 degrees to bring the waste down to a tank below. The cleaning tool will wipe away all the residual waste on the surface.

Solid waste will sink to the bottom, liquid waste will become a floating layer above.

Ultra-thin nanowires will be folded into bundles in the toilet seat inside. They will take the liquid of liquid waste through a vertical tube at the side of the toilet.

The steam passing through specially designed pipes will be transformed into real water, which will be stored in a separate compartment of the toilet system. The amount of clean water collected can be used to clean, water plants, .

The solid waste part is fed by an electric system to a separate chamber. There it will be mixed with a deodorant and dried.

After a certain period of time, maintenance staff will come to collect solid waste and water collected. Besides replacing the battery if necessary.

According to Mrs. Parker, a toilet like this can serve the needs of 10 people, at a cost of only 0.05 USD / day for each user. The capital this time along with the bonuses from Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will help this project to be deployed in the end of 2016, Ms. Parker affirmed.

The idea of ​​this toilet is feasible, but one difficulty it encounters, as well as many other design ideas, is the practical application. Many projects that can work on paper cannot exist where it is supposed to work.

With this toilet, the locality where it is installed will have to create special jobs such as maintaining and preserving the toilet system. The training and training process will take some time and more, some scientists are still looking for ways to optimize the design of this toilet.

Parker acknowledged that one of the most difficult problems was that users still had to throw paper on a nearby trashcan, no other way. The toilet itself is clean, but the basket with its waste can still be a potential source of disease.

This is a revolutionary toilet design, no one can doubt that but to really apply to real life and maximize its use, there are still challenges ahead. set for the team of researchers.
