Bill Gates drinks cup of water that used to be human poop

Billionaire activist Bill Gates is backing an innovation in water filtration that turns human poop into drinking water. The OmniProcessor could bring clean water to millions of people and help solve the problem of debilitating diseases.

The OmniProcessor, designed and built by Seattle engineering firm Janicki Bioenergy, burns human waste to produce electricity and water. The processor powers itself through the use of a steam engine and does not emit an odor. The machine could handle 14 tons of waste from 100,000 people, producing up to 86,000 liters of drinkable water a day, and net 250 kw of electricity.  

At a demonstration of the OmniProcessor shown on GatesNotes, a smiling Bill Gates drank water from the machine, which was previously untreated sewage.

It’s water,” said Gates in the video.

He wrote on his blog: “The water tasted as good as any I’ve had out of a bottle. And having studied the engineering behind it, I would happily drink it every day. It’s that safe.”

Gates said that 2.5 billion people – or 40 percent of the global population – have no access to safe sanitation, and many people use facilities that do not safely dispose of human waste. About 1.5 million children die every year from contaminated food and water, and half of all patients in hospitals are there because of problems with water and sanitation. It is extremely costly to try and create sewage infrastructure in cities and towns that already exist, so Gates thinks the low cost water treatment machine could be revolutionary.

“If you can get thousands of these things out there, then you’ve ensured the people really will grow up in a healthy way,” Gates told Wired. “They’ll live much higher quality lives. You will save a lot of lives. And you’ll have local entrepreneurs who are maintaining these things.

The OmniProcessor, which costs $1.5 million, will undergo a pilot launch in Dakar, Senegal later this year.

  1. No he didnt..its called a publicity stunt folks ,, just like last fall when the Ohio Mayor acted like he drank the skanky water they been feeding to all their citizens until they busted them at it

    believe these pukes at your own health risks ..I myself have decided my trust issues were not unfounded and remain so to this day

  2. Bill Gates, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has donated millions of “free” vaccinations for many diseases. These vaccinations also included sterilization agents. What wonderful people those Gates’ are.

    1. All right Chris, think about the person behind this process sitting in a Board Room discussing how they can rape and pillage more. Then Bill says, “Let’s make them drink $hit.” After millions of taxpayer dollars —— talk about feeding us $hit! (I know Gates financed this but he’s delinquent on his tax bill!)

  3. Yea I’m sure that water was specifically pulled out just for him to show the people that it’s all good. Meanwhile, all of the other people who drink it later will suffer more strange diseases just like his Ebola, Malaria and vaccines in Africa.

    This whole thing reminds me of the movie, “Soylent Green”. I can almost hear the ghost of Charlton Heston yelling,

    “You tell everybody. Listen to me. You’ve gotta tell them! The OmniProcessor is people! We’ve gotta stop them somehow!”
