Water consumption is one of the major challenges for the future of humanity. Scientists are studying this issue to one side, to reduce consumption, but also with a view to finding new ways to treat non-potable water to purify it.

Bill Gates is very involved in the recent years in humanitarian and scientific fields, and spends much of his fortune to improve the human condition. Last coup for Microsoft founder, tasting of water drawn from the transformation of human waste.

Of course, the American billionaire has lost his mind! This explains on his blog how he tested last November a revolutionary system called Omni processor and uses the fecal material to produce water. He posted a video of his taste on her YouTube channel. It says " I looked at the pile of excrement go of the treadmill to a large tray. They passed through the machine, were boiled and treated. A few minutes later, I took a big gulp of the result: a delicious glass of drinking water”. The invention could revolutionize both the waste and the production of drinking water by its unique operating mode.

The machine, designed by the engineering firm of North Seattle Janicki Bioenergy, allows, thanks to its technology to treat human waste, generating electricity and drinking water. This is where its operation is revolutionary compared to other treatment plants because it does not require fossil fuels from energy to operate.

The Omni processor retrieves from sewage sludge, the latter are then heated and steam oozes out which is filtered then be converted into water. According to estimates, the waste of a city of 100,000 people could produce 86,000 liters of drinking water and 250 kilowatts of electricity
