That said, something tells me that urbanites who've invested a big chunk of cash in getaway vacation homes aren't going to be thrilled with their neighbours rushing outdoors with pants around ankles every morning to dig a discreet hole at lakeside! I myself tend to favour a composting toilet with a hand-cranked aerator, but that's not an option for everyone... Maybe we should just design a waste-reduced human! ;) @Lara, I couldn’t agree more – Yes, of course, it would be far better to have a waste disposal system that doesn’t use water, and that doesn’t use electricity or fuel of any kind.

Not environmentally friendly either. Innovative but terrible idea. When in remote areas expect to go in the bush! Not crash and burn! Could cause disasters if these let rip on surrounding plants and wildlife. Not very practical or safe, if it ever gets a fault it could result in more than red cheeks!
