Cho Jae-weon, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, is a professor of urban and environmental engineering.
He made an eco-friendly toilet. But not only that. The Cho toilet is connected to a laboratory for the production of biogas and fertilizer from manure.
South Korean professor Cho Jae-weon has invented a toilet that converts feces into energy and pays people in digital currency.
A person defecates about 500 grams per day, which is converted into 50 liters of methane gas and produces 0.5 kWh.
Toilet patrons earn money Ggool, a real sh3t coin.
BeeVi toilet is here
The BeeVi toilet (combining the idea of bees and vision) is the brainchild of Professor ChoJae-weon.
The toilet uses a vacuum to suck up waste into a surface tank instead of using a bucket of water
In the aforementioned tanks, special microbes break down the feces and convert it into methane. Then use methane as building energy. Until now, it has been used to power gas stoves, hot water and solid oxidation fuel cells.
"Assuming we think outside the box, feces have valuable value in making energy and feces. I put that value into the ecological cycle," Cho said.
There's no reason why one couldn't make it a gigantic object, although some commentators felt that it wasn't worth it unless it was run on a massive scale.
Subway public toilets can drive trains
If a person poops around 500 grams per day, the result is 50 liters of methane gas, generating 0.5 kWh of electricity. This also gives the vehicle 1.2kph or 0.75kph on power.
Realize this means the more people you poop in the toilet, the more energy you have. Public spaces like gyms and restaurants will do a better job of convincing everyone to come to the smallest room in a building.
Shitcoins – Ggool
Professor Cho has developed a digital currency called Ggool (which translates to honey) to entice people to defecate in areas that can be fully utilized. Everyone who donates poop on the unique throne gets 10 Ggools.
Ggool is already available for shopping. College students can buy coffee, noodles and books on campus.
This type of innovation is the birth of digital currency. You're welcome.
