Bill Gates has drunk a glass of water made from
human faeces, to showcase technology he said
could provide clean water in the developing world.
In a video posted on his blog, Mr Gates watched as
the human waste was fed into the processor, before
drinking the end product from a glass .
"The water tasted as good as any I've had out of a
bottle. And having studied the engineering behind
it, I would happily drink it every day. It's that safe ,"
he wrote in the blogpost.
In the video, the developer of the Omniprocessor
system, Peter Janicki, says the raw "sewer sludge"
is first boiled, during which process the water
vapour is separated from the solids. Those solids
are then put into a fire, producing steam that drives
an engine producing electricity for the system's
processor and for the local community. The water is
put through a cleaning system to produce drinking
water.
