For a while there, it was looking like the Talking Toilet that Jon Hamm voiced on Bob's Burgers was going to go down as the greatest toilet in history, but now the Nano Membrane Toilet exists and we're forced to ask the question: Did the Talking Toilet from Bob's Burgers have the potential to improve sanitation for 2.5 billion people in developing countries around the world? The answer, sadly, is no, which means that the Nano Membrane Toilet is probably the better toilet. Developed at Cranfield University with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, it uses a membrane to separate solid waste from water molecules, producing clean water and a fertilizer for farming, and electricity all at the same time.
