Void RunnerSo it's like an incinerator or autoclave? Interesting concept. I wonder if it can be further developed to also help in producing biogas. Though, waterless? Germs are likely not a problem given the temperatures they are shooting for, but particulate impurities will likely remain. There would be risks of clogging and...in extreme cases, corrosion. However, at the end of the day, water is still necessary for....one thing.... 😛
On a more serious note: 700W means this thing will get HOT and will contribute to thermal mass problem inside structures. At best it can be used as public toilet, it is not a viable solution for homes.
