The specs on my Airhead say that it draws less than 0.2 amps and will run off a solar fan. Excessive moisture stops air getting down into the compost bed and the answer is apparently to add a bit more dry peat moss.
The poo apparently decomposes very quickly as it is instantly buried in the compost bed then you turn the handle after use. Paper takes a good deal longer and it may be worthwhile to collect paper separately in a paper bag in a sealed bin and burn it in the campfire.
The bottle at the front collects the pee separately and needs to be emptied under the nearest lemon tree. I hear that you can add a bit of sugar to the empty bottle to stop urine smells.
The compost can be double bagged and disposed off as normal garbage, buried in a deep hole, emptied into a long drop or maybe hosed down a dump point.
I have noticed that Kimberley have started using composting toilets. They always seem to be the first to adopt new ideas.
