Although it is a very good invention, I don't I will be able to give it a shot..I'll preferably stick to what i know best, table water or at worst, pure water.
According to Dailymail, bill gates has backed a Seattle firm's radical machine that uses a combination of steam and filters to convert human waste into water the firm says it indistinguishable from bottled water.
The microsoft founder is pictured above drinking a sample of the water made from human excrement. The machined called the OmniProcessor is a new kind of low-cost waste treatment plant has been backed by the Gates Foundation, and is about to be tested in Senegal for the first time.
'I watched the piles of feces go up the conveyer belt and drop into a large bin,' said Bill Gates on his Blog.
'They made their way through the machine, getting boiled and treated.
'A few minutes later I took a long taste of the end result: a glass of delicious drinking water.'
In the video showing the moment Gates drinks the water, he does look slightly concerned.
However, after a taste, he laughs.
It tastes as good as anything I've drunk out of a bottle,' he said.
'And having studied the engineering behind it, I would happily drink it every day. It’s that safe.'
Each roughly $1.5-million plant can process sewage for a community of about 100,000 people, the firm behind it says.
The machine runs at such a high temperature (1000 degrees Celsius) that there’s no nasty smell; in fact it meets all the emissions standards set by the U.S. government.
