#Steam Machine Turns Poop into Clean drinking water Bill gates wants to turn your poop into clean drinking water, and he's got just the machine to do it.
"a steam-powered sewage processor that burns up solid waste and creates both potable water and electricity.
Gates believes the machine can help solve one of the developing world's biggest problems access to clean water.
All of this improperly processed waste contaminates the drinking water of millions of people in communities around the globe.
Western-style sewer lines and sewage treatment plantsare not feasible options in most poor countries according to Gates.
But, a sewage treatment machine like the Omniprocessor may work in such places, he said. Measuring about 75 feet (23 meters) long and 26 feet (8 m) across, this small processing plant can handle about 14 tons of waste every day.
That means it's large enough to continually process sewage from a community of about 100,000 people, according to the Gates Foundation.
The machine is loaded up with sewer sludge, which travels up a conveyor belt and is fed into large tubes known as dryers.
The processor wouldn just keep human waste out of the drinking water; it would turn waste into a commodity with real value in the marketplace.

#Water purification: Running fuel cells on bacteria Researchers in Norway have succeeded in getting bacteria to power a fuel cell.
The"fuel"used is wastewater, and the products of the process are purified water droplets and electricity.
This is an environmentally-friendly process for the purification of water derived from industrial processes and suchlike. It also generates small amounts of electricity--in practice enough to drive a small fan, a sensor or a light-emitting diode.
In the future, the researchers hope to scale up this energy generation to enable the same energy to be used to power the water purification process
