This untainted urine can then be used for farm irrigation and even menage cleaning .
As for the solid waste , this settle to the bottom of a tank where a battery - power Archimedes ' prison guard throw the waste into a 2d back compartment where it is burn and call on into ash tree energy . Although this part of the toilet is not 100 percent developed yet , the researchers desire the system will be capable to load mobile phones and other modest electronic gadget .
However , throughout the process , it ’s jolly ill-defined what happens to the toilet newspaper .
Ghana hasbeen suggestedas a possible body politic to trial the newfangled intention this year . After that , the pot hopes to take on the rest of the world .
