EPA notes here: http://www.epa.gov/owm/mtb/incinera.pdf

These items are propane fired, and reduce waste to a (foul-smelling) vapor and sterile gray ash.

With your expertise in high temperature, high pressure chemistry and natural pyrotechnic ability, I bet that you could create a wood-fired, acetylene-powered or ANFO-based incinerating portable latrine that would forever eliminate your burden of latrine-cleansing duties, warm the tent, light up the sky and scare away the predators, while marking your territory and amusing your daughters.

The Blast Commode? The DR Personal Survival Toilet? The Thunder Mug?


I really like the idea. However, reading through the paper it says it requires ~4.5 hours to burn up the deposited material. You get ten ladies ages 4-notallowedtosay together and see if they all can go that long without needing a toilet.

Hmm, then again, none of those incindary toilets used thermite...
This requires more thought.

p.s. Obviously it would be called the Thunder Throne!
