If you find this disgusting, youāre missing the point.
In this clip spotted by Laughing Squid, Bill Gates ā formerly of Microsoft, now of Saving The Planet ā takes a look at the Janicki Omniprocessor (which Gates is helping fund), which sounds like something out of a sci-fi version of SimCity, but as you can see is a machine that already exists and already works.
Itās designed to take human waste and boil it. The water vapours are captured, filtered and dispensed as 100% clean drinking water, while the solid matter is burned, which powers a steam engine that generates electricity.
The idea is that theyāll be useful in places lacking in decent water treatment facilities. Or SimCity expansion packs.
