The Omni-Processor - Bill Gates backs human waste to water project! A recent visit to a new kind of sewage treatment plant saw Microsoft founder Bill Gates drink water procured from human waste, which the business magnate described as a delicious and affordable way to improve sanitation in poor countries. In a recent blog post, Gates wrote that some sewage plants turn waste into solids that are stored in the desert, while others burn it using diesel. Both processes require a lot of energy which makes them impractical for use in poor countries. The Omni-Processor, on the other hand, uses a steam engine to produce enough energy to burn the next batch of waste. In other words, it powers itself, with electricity to spare. In November last year, British waste management and recycling firm Business Waste highlighted that power from human waste is the ultimate in green energy that would cut the dependence on fossil fuels and dramatically reduce CO2 emissions. https://youtube/watch?v=bVzppWSIFU0
