Evolution of the Blue Diversion Toilet
The Blue Diversion Toilet has been developed to be a
stand-alone piece of furniture. Since the beginning of the project in 2011, we
have produced 4 models:
With the help
of Tribecraft,
we produced prototype 2. According to the results of the first
field test, the
hydraulics of the toilet was totally re-engineered, resulting in a smaller and
more user-friendly interface and no foot pump. The integration of
simple and robust electronics allowed for the simplification of the
hydraulics, and will contribute to the reduction of costs in order to reach the target costs. Learn about the potential of industrialization...
