Earlier this year, Bill Gates posted a video of himself drinking water that was made from human feces. (It went viral, unsurprisingly.)
The water was processed by a machine that collects human waste and converts it into safe, reusable byproducts -- water, electricity and ash. This week, Gates said in a blog post that the "Omni Processor" machine is getting its first test run in Dakar, Senegal, with the aim of reducing disease and saving lives in the city.

The Omni Processor makes much of the current waste management process obsolete, potentially making sanitation much cheaper for Dakar. And the next version of the Omni Processor will make waste management even cheaper: Garbage will be removed by magnets instead of by hand, and wet waste will not need to be separated from dry waste.
The machine also saves the city money by powering the rest of the sanitation facility with electricity converted from the waste it processed. Treated water can be drunk or used for irrigation, and ash can be made into bricks.
Gates said the Omni Processor is succeeding in its test run, and the results have been promising. Gates and Janicki aim to bring more Omni Processors to other cities in need

Does it require a reboot when full of shiite?
Windows #2.
Tested right here in Western Washington. Personally, I hope this succeeds. If it does, it could be a game changer for the poorest countries.
He should demonstrate the device on a set of the network he created, MSNBC. Then it would be impossible to notice any odor in the water he will be drinking from his machine.
It would seem a machine like this would need a working sewer system to support it. How much of the third world has that?
Or maybe they can cart their deposits in 5 gallon pails to the local facility...
Whew, I knew some critics of the Windows OS were tough but sheesh...
If he accidentally fell in the result would be a flood on Biblical size!
Does got a little wang in it...
Agreed. This is much more exciting than Windows 10!
Always knew Bill Gates was full of sh*t.
how? do you really think there is enough feces lying around to produce a game changing amount of water?
seems to me that by volume, the amount of water recovered is a small percentage of the original amount of feces. you’d need massive amounts to irrigate just an acre.
Excellent.
That is not true.
What’s the cost?
I know you think you're joking.

Moonbat Gates got the idea for this machine from Windows 8.
Yes. Because it has recently been discovered that all garbage is magnetic.
This article is complete crap.
“ash can be made into bricks. “
To make a brick shit house with, of course.
