My late father recently developed a waterless toilet which is significantly
simpler and likely cheaper than this one.

Neat. Reminds me of the nappy bins.

However, the one in the video seems more geared at sustainability and reuse.
They filter the water out of the pee. Dry out the poo for fertilisation.

optimistic.

Agreed. The whole concept is too complicated for the real world, in my
opinion. But, if the team is willing to iterate based on feedback, and
incorporate some of the advances of other composting and incinerating toilets,
the end product might work really well.

That is exactly what i was thinking - making this produce compost instead of
waste intended for a collection facility would be not only more useful in
developing areas, but could even improve the urban gardening/homesteading
movement. and lets face it - in developed nations, it is us crazy hippie folk
who would buy this anyway.

In developing areas, people grow food as close to their drinking water as
possible to make watering and/or irrigation easy. I don't know if anyone wants
to recommend that they start adding human waste to the mix.
