Well, that's annoying. Firefox ate my post. So I give up. But that toilet looks a bit harsh for the average house.
For the quantity of waste involved, the whole watery drama seems excessive. Technological overkill, with miles of pipes and grand scale disposal.
On a dinkum Hippie commune a few years ago, they had an outdoor toilet system which was stink free and pleasant.
They had a big plastic wheelie bin which sat under the outhouse. One walked inside, up a couple of stairs, with a nice bush view. Totally clean, totally dry, totally stink free. One dropped one's poos into the container and sprinkled enough of the leaves and twigs from a container on top to cover it. After a few months, it's full. So they wheel it away and empty it into a hole in a garden somewhere, and presumably put a layer of dirt on top of it. I bet plants love it around their roots.
That wouldn't work in apartment buildings, but technology such as my friend's plasma system should do the trick. I can't recall the technical details, but it was more than just a blast furnace with excess oxygen. It was a plasma, induced in the poo somehow. He said it was quite impressive.
