This is where it all started.  Five years ago on NPR’s Science Friday with Ira Flatow [Nov. 18, 2011]

Toilets, as most of us know them, haven't changed much since the 1800s—they use a lot of water, and require an infrastructure that many communities can't afford. Ira Flatow and guests look at the problem of access to sanitation, and how engineers are making toilets better.

Guests:

Rose George, author: "The Big Necessity: The Unmentionable World of Human Waste and Why It Matters", Leeds, U.K.

Frank Rijsberman, director of water, sanitation & hygiene, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Seattle, Wash.

Daniel Yeh, associate professor, civil and environmental engineering, University of South Florida, Tampa, Fla.

Jim McHale, vice president, engineering, American Standard Brands, Piscataway, N.J.

Last year, we told you about a revolutionary machine developed by USF engineers that could help developing countries by turning wastewater into reusable, beneficial products. This device, called the "NEWgenerator,” has been undergoing field testing for the last few months. On University Beat on WUSF Public Media, we’ll travel to India and check in with the USF student who’s been putting the generator through its paces and see how it’s doing.

'NEW' Generator Bringing Hope (And Clean Water) To India [DEC 22, 2015, Mark Schreiner, University Beat]

A team of University of South Florida students, led by engineering professor Daniel Yeh, has created the NEWgenerator – a patented device that could help developing countries by turning wastewater and other waste into reusable, beneficial products. See where the NEWgenerator is being field-tested on University Beat on WUSF TV.

An idea that’s been percolating on the Tampa campus of the University of South Florida for a decade is now being applied halfway across the world, just as its inventors imagined.

Daniel Yeh came up with the idea of a "resource-recovery machine” while he was working on his post-doctorate at Stanford University.

"So what that means is it converts the waste materials, either human waste or food waste, various types of wastewater," Yeh said. "We will convert that to beneficial products: nutrients, energy and water."

More importantly, the machine would work completely off-grid, meaning no outside water or power sources would be required.

"We’re mimicking what nature does very efficiently, but in a very compact, engineered system, so nothing goes to waste and everything is repurposed," he added.
