Re: [DIYbio] Re: non-glamorous bioreactor restroom project

It turns out there is a lot of money to be made in waste management.

Here is how the electricity can be generated.

I would like to test this approach by nominating my 3D printed bioreactor restroom project for a workgroup. I have some knowledge
of electronics, CAD and project management. The people who have already participated in the other bioreactor projects could be of
great help.

The idea is simply for a low cost lavatory that would treat waste on site and generate some energy in the process. There is a huge
market for this product worldwide.

I have already started looking for references. I will set up some project infrastructure and post on my results for some high
quality feedback.

Hmm.... the arid countries -- like west Texas -- can use such for clean environment and water reuse/conservation reasons.
What is the energy potential in grey water?  I was thinking of a bioreactor as a net energy consumer usually.

It might have a good chance as a tiny low budget company product, since it lack's glamor so, those interested in IPO's
would not be much competition.  With enough development time before big competition, a tiny company might
have a chance, even at a world market product.
