Here's one that runs on hot air and produces bull scat.
“But to think that a $25 device could improve someone’s life so much is hard to believe.”
Exchange rate- our $25 might well make him middle class in his own currency.
SERIOUSLY!
I camp. I poo in the woods. I know how Nature intended things. The traditional toilet is not user friendly.
Trust me...
EXCEPT THE UNBORN, right Bill?
With the device he went from catching 8-10 rats a day to 20+ a day. With the extra rats (and grain), his wife would cook them up and sell them for 25 cents.
I suppose an entrepreneur with a composting toilet (not sure you would need too much??) could go around collecting crap from folks, dry it/ treat it/ whatever, and then sell it back as fuel or fertilizer.
I take you have never been to rural Korea?
“Nightsoil” is used just about everywhere. The Korean bid on pumping out our (US Military) sewage system, weekly.
No, the Korean that paid the most got the weekly run. Seems American poop was valued highly for ...”content”.
Silly hippies.
Whenever I hear of some hair brained idea like this to improve the world, -that is improve it in their bong brained haze of what they think reality is, then I like to play this little gem of an oldie, but goodie;

Liberalism: It’s just wrong. Embarrassingly wrong.
Bill Gates is a one trick pony. Yes he was smart enough to see personal computers were going to be big and needed an operating system and an office application for word processing, spread sheets and email. That made him very rich.
Now that he has moved on, he like a lot of folks in the Pacific Northwest is drinking the liberal, big government, one world cool aide. He has wasted a lot of money in Africa on malaria control as he won’t back DDT as a useful tool and he is now looking for a wonder crapper for dolts who crap in a hole and won’t eat with the left hand as it is still full of ass crumbs. These are the ones who when they come here have to be told not to put stones or chicken heads in our crappers. Bill, let Melinda decide where the money goes.
...an effort to develop "next-generation" toilets that will deliver safe and sustainable sanitation to the 2.5 billion people worldwide who don't have it. The awards recognize researchers from leading universities who are developing innovative ways to manage human waste, which will help improve the health and lives of people around the world.Each of these improved toilets need to include Mohammed toilet paper.
Those gizmos would cost big bucks and be a waste of fertilizer. The better answer is shovel, cathole, defecate, bury, and leave untouched for a couple of years before using in gardening. Or do the fancy composting thing (if space is scarce). And ruralize the population more to afford space (despite the snotty effetes’ fear of Bubba).
Granted, nicer and easier-to-tend composting toilets exist. Gates and his kind are making our world too sterile and inarable. They are too far insulated from reality and the way things work. The answer to that problem might be to arrange vacations to Venus for the socialist rich (see “The Marching Morons,” By Cyril Kornbluth).
If people are given these things, then they won't be valued. You only need to look as far as any section 8 housing development right here in the USA to see that much. Ya got people living in their own filth, right here. Medicine (for now) and society (for now) here is developed enough to cover it up.
Gates has a noble idea, but its near worthless in practice.
(1) It's his money.
(2) Cholera. Worldwide, it affects 3–5 million people and causes 100,000–130,000 deaths a year as of 2010.
