The toilet, which Gates said was ready for sale after years of development, is the brainchild of research projects funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the world’s biggest private philanthropy organization.
盖茨表示,在数年研发后,“新世代厕所”即将推向市场。这项新科技是全球最大的私人慈善机构比尔和梅林达盖茨基金会资助的研究项目产物。

“The current toilet simply sends the waste away in the water, whereas these toilets don’t have the sewer. They take both the liquids and solids and do chemical work on it, including burning it in most cases,” Gates told Reuters.
盖茨告诉路透社说:“传统的厕所只是用水把排泄物冲走。而这种新厕所并不连接下水道。它们使用化学物质处理尿液和粪便,多数情况是烧掉它们。”
He compared the change from traditional toilets to waterless models as similar to development in computing around the time he founded Microsoft in the mid-1970s.
他将传统厕所转变为无水厕所的过程,与他在上个世纪70年代中期创立微软时的计算力领域的发展相提并论。
“In the way that a personal computer is sort of self contained, we can do this chemical processing at the household level,” he said.
“就像个人电脑可以独立运转一样,我们现在也可以在家庭层面化学处理粪便。”
